SU-57 short landing — drogue chutes deployed while still airborne

[ElPaso Pilot]

From yesterday’s MAKS-2019 exhibition in Zhukovsky, near Moscow.

That’s got to add a little “thunk” to the landing.

Might work for our Cirrus guys, at runways less than 5000’.

Is that a deliberate short landing technique for that aircraft?
Seemed to work fine.

That isn't a Cirrus? It has a chute.

Must be one of those new Cirrus twins.

It has two chutes.

Looks like he had a pretty healthy tailwind. Don't know if the chutes were necessary - or just part of the show.

Looks like a downwind landing by the way the chutes went towards the front of the plane when it stopped.

You could see him (or the computer) teasing the edge of the stall with quick pitch and power changes on the way down.

DAMN! That thing looks like a spaceship. Sorry, but the Russians build some badass warplanes

The TU-154 and IL-62 both land with the thrust reversers on:



Must be a Russian thing!

Bush league vs the real deal short field.

But points deducted for not being able to use the airplane again.

Yeah but, where they able to walk away?

And we aren’t making the jato bottles anymore.

Not as far as *you* know. ;-)

Well they’re stingy about them anyway. They won’t let the Blues have any for Fat Albert or his replacement anymore.

Plausible deniability. ;-)

We're using them to launch Chevy Impalas off of bumps in the road.

Nice short field technique.

Definitely some good quartering tailwind there, looking at the windsock.

What's old is new. Helpful to keep the engines spooled up for the go-around, to increase descent capability, and to move you to the front side of the drag bucket without accelerating.

Go around!
