Russia's Su-57 fighter jet conducts stunning flight demonstration at Airshow China

A Su-57 fifth-generation fighter jet from Russia completed a 7-minute stunning flight demonstration on Tuesday at the 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition in Zhuhai City.

The exhibition, also known as Airshow China, is running from Nov 12 to 17 in the coastal city of south China's Guangdong Province.

At the air show, the Su-57 fighter jet presented stunning aerobatic maneuvers including a vertical takeoff, various rolls and the "Falling Leaf," also called rudder stall.

The Su-57, a single-seat twin-engine stealth multirole heavy fighter aircraft with aerial combat and ground strike abilities, incorporates multiple features including stealth, short takeoff and landing, super-maneuverability, and super-cruise. The aircraft is also equipped with thrust vectoring systems, allowing it to make super-maneuvers at extreme low speeds.

Its arrival marks the first time a foreign stealth aircraft has landed in China.

The aircraft had its maiden flight in January 2010, entered mass production in July 2019, and began delivery to the Russian air force in January 2021.
