History and Application

The Sukhoi SU-47 "Berkut" (NATO code name: "Firkin") is a Russian experimental fighter developed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau. It stands out among other military aircraft thanks to its distinctive forward-swept wing configuration. The plane was developed in the late 1990s—its maiden flight took place in 1997. It was designed to test new aeronautical solutions that were later used in the development of fifth-generation aircraft such as the SU-57.

The SU-47 was created for research programs conducted by Russia during the Cold War era and in the years following its conclusion. The aircraft never entered serial production—only a single technology demonstrator was built, serving to test maneuverability, stealth, and the implementation of new composite materials.
