Rostec has published the first photo of the newest military aircraft, which will be displayed at the MAKS-2021 aerospace show. The snapshot on Friday, July 16, appeared on the page of the state corporation on the social network Facebook.
The published photo shows a promising single-engine aircraft, which is covered with a black protective cover. Representatives of the state corporation said yesterday that the United Aircraft Corporation should present a fundamentally new military aircraft at the upcoming International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS-2021, but then the type of aircraft was not disclosed. Now it became clear that the first Russian single-engine fighter will be presented to the salon visitor.
Now in Russia, specialists are developing several promising aircraft at once: a front-line twin-engine aircraft from the MiG company, the implementation of which is scheduled for 2021-2025, a new generation interceptor that can replace the MiG-31BM, and so on.
So far, our country does not use single-engine fighters, but they have already become widespread in the world. The most famous of these types of military aircraft are the American F-16 and F-35 fighters, the Swedish JAS-39 GRIPEN and the Chinese J-10.
