Russia Is Building New Variant Of Su-57 Fighters With Single-Engine, 'Hypersonic' Fighter Jet
The new fighter will be “hypersonic,” but also says the fighter will max out at a very non-hypersonic speed of above Mach 2. Russian analyst Rob Lee says the fighter will use the same Izdeliye 30 afterburning turbofan engines Sukhoi uses on the Su-57 fighter jet. An 18-ton jet with the Izdeliye 30 engines will be Mach 2 fast, but it won’t be Mach 5 fast.
