1997年9月25日,在俄罗斯茹科夫斯基试飞中心,一架外形独特的新型战斗机腾空而起,从而向外界宣告了俄罗斯战斗机家族又一个新生儿的诞生。这是继1996年4月2日在此处首飞苏-37之后第2种新型战斗机的试飞。这架飞机被称为S-37,是著名的苏霍伊飞机设计局研制的一种重型多用途战斗机。它的问世及其非常规的外形结构使它成为世人瞩目的焦点。尽管俄罗斯给这架飞机起了一个漂亮的名字“金鹰”,但面对各方面的争议及其强劲的竞争对手,不免使它的前途蒙上了一层阴影。S-37究竟是一种怎样的飞机呢?它的来龙去脉又如何呢?
On September 25, 1997, at the Zhukovsky Test and Flight Center in Russia, a unique new type of fighter jet was launched, announcing to the outside world the birth of another newborn child of the Russian fighter family. This is the second test flight of a new type of fighter plane following the first flight of Su-37 here on April 2, 1996. Known as S-37, this aircraft is a heavy-duty multipurpose fighter developed by the renowned Sukhoi Aircraft Design Bureau. Its advent and its unconventional shape make it the focus of world attention. Although Russia has given the aircraft a beautiful name of “Golden Eagle,” the face of various controversies and its strong competitors can not help but cast a shadow over its future. S-37 what kind of aircraft is it? What is its context?
