Description

The first of three designs I've made for Vector Thrust Super aircraft design contest. www.moddb.com/games/vector-thr…

It's largely inspired by Shoji Kawamori's works (who, in turn, is known to like Sukhoi's designs).

Fictional aircraft data:

A 5++ generation fighter jet presented by Sukhoi as a replacementsupplement to Su-50 in 2030. S-53 features advanced anti-stealth radar and sophisticated onboard computer complex, allowing it to completely negate the passive stealth advantages of early 5th gen aircrafts.

New composite materials developed in early 2020s allow to implement unique in-wing rear stabilizers that function as a part of main wing surface during level flight. Powerplant consists of two Lyulka-Saturn “Izdelie 33” 5th generation engine with 3D thrust vectoring and 20% power increase over Su-50, which allows for grater mass of the aircraft.

Unfortunately, its large size makes S-53 unsuitable for carriers, so it remains a land-based plane.

The main threat of this aircraft is ability to carry Zarya hypersonic multipurpose missile in its internal bays.

K-200 Zarya (NATO Reporting name: “HM-01 Exterminator”, “HMN-01 Nova” for nuclear modification)

A 3-stage hypersonic missile, capable of reaching Mach 10 speed. It was initially designed as bunker-buster weapon, but proved itself capable as anti-ship weapon and even to have limited anti-air capability. Zarya carries a powerful warhead, which explodes after the penetration of target or after reaching programmed distance. Its internal radar is capable of tracking both air and surface targets (although air-to-air capabilities are very limited). The warhead carries a powerful charge, but gives little to no shrapnel.

A nuclear modification, named Nova, also exists.

Attack range

Surface target: 500km

Air target (non-maneuvering, incoming): 200km

Air target (actively maneuvering, fleeing) 110km

Airspeed at flight ~M10

Airspeed at 30km from target ~M7
