The Russian 5th generation fighter Sukhoi Su-57 Felon received a cockpit with the highest degree of automation of piloting processes and use of weapons, stated the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) in its corporate magazine New Horizons.
“Automation, information integration and intellectual are the main requirements for the cockpit ergonomics of a modern fighter”, Nikita Dorofeyev, head of the Cockpit Department at the Sukhoi Design Bureau, told New Horizons magazine.
Nikita explains that the pilot will be able to concentrate on the search and engagement of targets, not getting involved in landing and takeoff tasks, stressing that this process is also sufficiently automated.
According to data from the magazine, the fighter is equipped with multifunctional indicators that can provide the pilot with a large amount of information about the tactical situation and the operation of the aircraft's systems.
The Su-57 also incorporates intellectual technology, which helps the pilot carry out his respective tasks, says New Horizons magazine.
The fifth-generation multirole fighter has already been combat-tested in Syria and will be able to employ a wide range of air-to-ground and air-to-air weapons, including hypersonic missiles.
The Russian Air Force received its first Serial production Felon Su-57 at Christmas last year.
