The “product 41”, easy fighter, looks as JF-17 or JAS-39. Photos and drawings are not present
1981 (on other data 1984-85) – the one-impellent easy fighter designated by the code number «41». It was supposed, that at the first stage the plane will be equipped with engine R-33 with draught 8300 кгс, and at the second stage – the modified engine with draught 10000 кгс. The fighter was originally projected under the normal aerodynamic scheme, it had a wing with flow and lateral air inlets. The take-off weight with two rockets Р-73 made 9,5 т. At the first stage it should be established radar type “Mosquito” with the usual parabolic aerial, at the second stage – station with the phased antenna lattice. Speed was limited to number М=1,7, launch and planting from a ground were provided range of flight reached 2000 km, with additional fuel tanks – 3000 km. On a fighter rockets of near fight Р-60 or Р-73Э could be suspended, the shooting arms consisted of gun ГШ-301, the weight of bombing loading made to 3,5 т.
In the second variant of aerodynamic configuration the fighter had no horizontal tail plumage, and before a wing the small forward horizontal plumage settled down. This variant on letno-technical characteristics and take-off weight practically did not differ from the first. More careful study of an air inlet has shown possibility of increase in number of M to 1,84.
… Normal take-off weight – 9800 kg, weight of fuel 2900 – 3000 kg, engine RD-33K, the onboard equipment are similar МиГ-29М (it is cut down in a mode “air-surface”), lost МиГ-29 on the established maneuver, won on not established maneuver (loading on a wing), confidently left on the big corners of attack, big altitude and subsonic range.
There it was possible to depart “slightly” from the scheme in which it is executed “JAS-39” that has given a number of advantages, and in unevidently connected directions. For example, on stability on the big corners + reduction of weight of a glider + serious decrease in labour input of operation.
The “classical” configuration was simultaneously drawn also, but she seriously lost – in so small dimension “classic” difficultly to extend on good level.
MiG 1.44 pre-production model of a fighter of the fifth generation. MiG 1.42 – the serial sample of a fighter. MiG 1.43 and MiG 1.46 – the further development of the project.
