Russian Su-57 fighters are actively testing the latest engine.

Contrary to the information posted on the government procurement website , which Avia.pro reported the day before, the industrial director of the aviation cluster at Rostec State Corporation Anatoly Serdyukov made a statement in which he stressed that in reality, fifth-generation Russian fighters are already actively testing the latest engine "Second stage", which received the name "product 30".

“At present, bench engineering tests of a promising engine are ongoing, development is being conducted as part of a flying laboratory. In October, the next flight was performed with the product characteristics checked in different flight modes, including the operation of the rotary jet nozzle and the operation of the oil system under negative overloads. In total, 16 flights have been completed at the flying laboratory , ”quoted Tass as saying by Anatoly Serdyukov.

It should be clarified that the testing of the newest “product 30” has been conducted since 2017, while experts believe that the tests of the new engine can be completed at the end of 2020, although so far no official comments have been submitted by Rostec Corporation on this subject .

According to preliminary estimates, the new power plant will seriously increase the capabilities of the Russian combat aircraft, making it faster and more maneuverable.
