MIG-35

October 7 to participate in the testing program MMRCA tender in India went to two new multifunctional MiG-35 made this year, the RAC "MiG".In the test program in India are involved single and double versions of aircraft (hull numbers 961 and 967).Previously, beginning in mid-August, in India, have already passed a series of test flights, American fighter F/A-18E/F, F-16E / F and the French "Rafale" is also participating in the tender MMRCA, which provides for the acquisition of the Indian Air Force 126 multi-role fighters to totaling more than $ 10 billion to last to the flight evaluation of the organizers of the tender will be involved in the Swedish "Gripen" and Western Europe "Typhoon".

... It should be noted that even though the MiG-35D demonstrator number 154 and was created in early 2007 based on the issued back in 1990 experienced the MiG-29M, and then, after a long break, in 2001 and converted into double MiG -29M2, it is equipped with a complete set of the most modern avionics in the requirements of the tender MMRCA, includingRadar with AFAR.In addition to its "active" radar in Bangalore could "boast" only F-16F, while the other members of the show - F/A-18E/F and "Typhoon" - were simple production models with more modest weapons systems, and radar with AFAR to their possible options were presented only Indian in the form of models in the exhibition halls.
Under the terms of the organizer of the tender, evaluation trials in India to take part in two copies of each fighter - in single and double versions.Therefore, and due to structural and technological differences between aircraft demonstrator number 154 from the currently shipping in the run and promising new modifications of the MiG-29 (MiG-29K/KUB MiG-29M/M2, MiG-35), the program for testing the tender It was decided to prepare a production complex in the RAC "MiG" in Lukhovitsy two new aircraft - single (eds. 9-61) and double (eds. 9-67).In a constructive manner both machines largely repeated ship MiG-29K/KUB (izd.9-41 and 9-47), built in 2007 as standard for the Indian Navy, differing from them, by and large, in fact, only a lack of planting hook (even kept the design of consoles and high lift system of ship modifications).
At the same time provided the use of on-board prototype MiG-35 of the new electronic equipment (including radar with AFAR), past or passing another test flight number 154 and other flying laboratories program of the MiG-35.Exceptionally high level of structural unification of the current and future MiG-29K/KUB MiG-35 is considered by the developer, not only as a means of accelerating the development and production of new aircraft, but also as an important advantage of the Russian proposal in the tender, because by the time the possible supply of MiG-35 (in case of victory) in India have mastered the operation will be very close in design MiG-29K/KUB.Construction of single prototype of the MiG-35, received the side number 961, was completed in the RAC "MiG" this summer.In parallel, based on a prototype of the MiG-29KUB number 947 was prepared by two-seater MiG-35D, received the number 967, and in early October, after a series of flights on the production test program, both served in India.
 

"Flight" 11 / 2009

 

-------------

RAC "MiG" is going to present the MiG-35 to the Indian tender for the purchase of 126 medium multi-role combat aircraft M-MRCA.

MiG-35 was created based on the MiG-29M is equipped with advanced radar, avionics and weapons, as well as engine thrust vector control.It is reported weekly, "Jane's Defence Weekly," referring to the performance of CEO Alexei Fedorov at a press conference in honor of the MAKS-2005.

Also based on the MiG-29M, six and the last modification of this model (Type 9.15) - MiG-29OVT (with thrust vectoring), manufactured in 1991.During the air show this aircraft, whose engines have vserakursnye nozzle makes first demonstration flight.Prior to that he completed 50 test flights.Movable nozzles were installed in 2003, and the first flight with thrust vector control held in August 2003.The nozzles are integrated with the upgraded remote control system of the CDS-915-01, which allows the aircraft to maneuver at low altitudes.

According to the chief designer of advanced versions of the MiG-29 Nicholas Bountina, tests of new jets are nearing completion and soon may start their production.At the moment, made five nozzles.Two are used for ground tests, two are installed on the MiG-29OVAT and one kept in reserve.

Rotary nozzle RD-33OVT installed on the MiG-29OVT, developed in the St. Petersburg Klimov Design Bureau, which was once created by the base engine RD-33.Nozzle system Klimov (KLIVT) is denied in full (as in AL-31FP engine for the Su-30MKI) had only the rear movable section.It can be deflected in any direction (up to + / -15 deg. In a vertical plane and up to + / -8 deg. In the horizontal plane), not only in the vertical plane as that of AL-31FP engine.

The nozzles can be rejected at any position of the throttle, including a WYSIWYG afterburner.OVT system will not be used during takeoff and landing, due to its low efficiency for these modes.

DEVELOP BASIC OPTION.

... As for Russia, the brand new aircraft we offer the Indians can not (it does not exist).Therefore, "strengthening" of the Russian proposal goes through the development of basic MiG-29.Here, Alexei Fedorov, pulls out a trump card for another.The last time (at the salon "MAKS-2005"), he spoke about the new aircraft - the MiG-35, which will absorb all of the latest technological innovations developed for all programs to improve the MiG-29, its equipment and power plant.

Perhaps, as we approach "competition" in India will continue Antonov formulate new proposals for "Technology content" of the Russian fighter.So, with the advent of Fyodorov's RAC active work on thrust vector control (SWT).Modified MiG-29OVT completed the first phase of testing, culminating in spectacular demonstration flight at MAKS-2005.Proposal for UHT first put on the list of options for MiG-29M1/M2, and then in the standard version.

Prior to that, the head of the RAC introduced to the game trumps such as a radar with a phased antenna array (BARS-29).On his initiative, this radar began to develop the corporation "Aerospace Equipment" on the basis of well-established in the Su-30MKI product H-011 "Leopard."In addition, negotiations with the Indians talking about the possible unification of on-board equipment of the land from the ship's fighter MiG-29K (commissioned by the Indian Navy aircraft carrier air groups for a complete and Air Defense Vikramaditya Ships) and the put heavy Su-30MKI.

It should be added and new proposals for "learning lines".After creating its own RSK "MiG" simulator combat use of the new generation STBP-29 (designed to replace obsolete STS-21), work began on an even more perfect for the PTS-29K shipborne machinery.That is new to the "MiG" trend started back in Nikitin, given new impetus by Fedorov.Today the RAC "MiG" was released in a leading position in Russia, on modern training ground and flight crews.In addition to simulators, designed interactive training classes and new methods of training, maintenance and crews of excellence built on computer technology.Thus, the corporation today can offer customers a unique integrated solution that includes the supply of combat aircraft (MiG-29/35) and double variants (UB, collars, AFB), together with the planes of the initial, basic and advanced training (IL-103, which collected at the plant in Lukhovitsy Corporation, and the MiG-AT), simulators and classrooms.The first such proposal was made out by Alexei Fedorov.

Since his arrival there was also clear from the main integrator of avionics for new versions of the MiG-29.The choice fell on "Technocomplex."In particular this applies to the MiG-29K and land MiG-29M/M2, as well as recently announced by the MiG-35.However, the "Russian Avionics" is not completely gone.Moreover, a subsidiary of SPC "Irkut" has an interesting job in Slovakia.Earlier this year, the Slovak Air Force announced an agreement with the RAC "MiG" to "natonizatsii" aircraft down the MiG-29.For this purpose MiG establish a wide range of equipment of European firms.Along with "mikoyanovtsami" will work there, "Russian Avionics", which also set a number of aircraft on their devices.

When Slovak fighter will receive a certificate and will be in part, it is likely that interest in such a modernization of the MiG-29 can also appear in other countries.

MiG-29M3 / MiG-35

index originally belonged to the MiG-35 MFI 1.42.

"... Further development of the MiG-29 series was supposed to be MiG-29M1, it was supposed to lengthen the fuselage, increasing the volume of tanks up to 7,000 liters. MiG-29M2 planned to move to a scheme of the longitudinal integral triplane with canards and wing set a larger area with a larger caissons. MiG-29M3, in addition to further growth in the tanks, had to get a new SUV and RD-43. It was assumed that at this stage, the aircraft will be released in the same class with the Su-27 - that is, its flight mass will be over 20 - 22 tonnes. The combat load reaches 6000 kg, and range - 3000 km. The price of the aircraft will be less than the Su-27.

In the niche of a light fighter should have stayed the MiG-29M4.His SUV was based on radar "Zhuk-F" with an expanded field of vision and ability to support multiple targets on the aisle.In addition it was planned to equip the engines with thrust vectoring RD-133. "

Promising fighter, a deep modernization of the MiG-29.Was to take place between the MiG-29M and the IFIs, is regarded as a response to the program F-18E.

The power plant consists of two engines VKS-10 (RD-43) with a thrust of 10,000 kg.Work to install these engines for the MiG-29 was not conducted, becauseadvantageous to make the new aircraft.The first flight was planned for 1997.

Increased weight of the aircraft, engines with axisymmetric nozzles and thrust vector control.The radar "Zhuk-F" is accompanied by up to 24 targets and firing at the same time 8.Ten hardpoints.Weight of fuel increased by 1500 kg due to displacement engines for 920 mm back.Range doubled.The wing has increased the scale and chord.

MAKS-97 was announced the completion of schematic design, which can be viewed as an attempt to save the project.MiG-29M3 probably was intended to be a cheap addition to the IFIs and was in some ways a competitor Sukhovskaya C-56.
