The Su-27, produced by Sukhoi and known as the Flanker, development came about in response to the need for Russia to meet the advances in technology of U.S. aircraft.
The Su-27prototype first flew in 1977 with production aircraft deployed with the Russian Air Force in the mid 1980's.
The Su-27 employs extensive use of titanium in its fuselage to keep weight down. The fuselage acts as a lifting body. This enables wide separation between the aircraft's two engines, improving intake airflow, and safety should one engine become disabled.
Su-27 aircraft are definitely a fighter pilot's aircraft, with an abundance of power and relatively light wing loading. These qualities make for a fast accelerating, highly maneuverable aircraft. It was the first aircraft to perform the cobra maneuver.
The newest versions of the Su-27 incorporate thrust vectoring engines and canards which further enhance their maneuverability. These aircraft, equipped with the latest radars and weapons systems, are among the most capable aircraft in the world.
In addition to Russia, Su-27 aircraft are used in the Angolian, Belarussian, Chinese, Ethiopian, Indian, Indonesian, Kazakhstani, Syrian, Vietnamese, Ukranianean, and Uzbekistani air forces.
