There have been a number of posts for FSW type radio control airplanes
similar to the rc Su-47 in RC Groups and RC Universe. These appear to be
growing in popularity.
RC Su-47
 NitroPlanes rc Su-47.
Pictured above is the rc Su-47 from Nitro Planes. Wingspan is 40", length 29 1/2" and power comes from two
brushless motors turning EDF 55 units. Weight is about 25 oz. The rc Su-47 comes as a RTF with radio, batteries and everything you need to fly, as a ARF that is radio
ready, and as a body kit, ready for your motors, fans, and electronics.
Variants of the Su-47 5th generation plus fighter will make all current fighter aircraft obsolete within 10 years according to Sukhoi.
The
unique successor to the Su-47 is expected to demonstrate extreme agility along short
trajectories, and perform maneuvers of over a ninety degree angle of
attack. In addition it will employ stealth technology and have super
cruise ability. The multi-purpose aircraft will have BVR, attack,
interceptor, and long range tactical abilities.
The
FSW Su-47 demonstration version of the aircraft has been flying since
Sept. 25, 1997. Many compare its agile flight performance with that of
the best fighter aircraft in the world.
RC Su-47
The rc Su-47 from Parkjet plans.
The rc Su-47 in the first picture below is driven by a Hyperion X-22 motor powering a GWS EDF unit. It has a wingspan of 31.5" and a length of 40.5". The builder is Rane of RC Groups.
India and Sukhoi are already
laying the groundwork to have the IAF equipped with derivatives of the
Su-47 front-line fighters by the year 2020.
While
it appears that the FSW (forward swept wing) version of the Su-47 will
not be produced in its current form, Sukhoi says that the design of the
aircraft facilitates the development of aircraft that will meet the
demands for 5th generation plus fighters.
If
American aircraft are an example of the cost of such a development
program, production beyond the Su-47 prototype phase of the program
should cost approximately US$ 5.0 billion. It is anticipated that the
super cruise, AL-37-FU thrust vectoring engine, will be the most
expensive
component of the aircraft to
develop.
RC Su-47
 RC Su-47 by Bob Shepherd.
The rc Su-47 scratch built by Bob Shepherd of Ontario, California is 70" long and has a wingspan of 46".
Power is by a single AMT AT-180 turbine engine. All up weight is about 14 lbs.
We received the following email from Sergey Shkodin in the Ukraine (aviat21@narod.ru):
"Largest rc Su-47
giant scale - 1:8
length - 111"
wingspan - 83"
weight - 10 1/2 lbs.
fans - Schuebeler DS-94-DIA HDT
motors - Lehner 2250-14
batteries - 12s 6000 mah
ESC - 200A
The ARTF of the rc Su-47 is available
Best regards"
You can find a picture of the rc Su-47 that was attached to the email immediately above.
Considering the costs involved,
it was anticipated that production of the Su-47 could involve a
combined venture of China, India and Russia. China now has their own
version of a fifth generation stealthy fighter aircraft.
India
has acquired a licensing agreement for the manufacture of the aircraft
in its own country. Other partners that India was considering for
further Su-47 development were Brazil or the European Union. However, India along will be producing the aircraft.
India
originally anticipated that its primary technological contribution to
the advanced Su-47 program would be in avionics. HAL however, now has
undertaken all construction of the fifth generation fighter.
