No references found | The Premier II is a twin turbofan, swept wing, light jet aircraft featuring a high-strength, advanced composite fuselage that allows for a medium-jet sized cabin at light jet costs. With different parts of the rumoured three prototypes split between at least six aerospace centres across Russia, visitors to the MAKS- 2009 air show outside Moscow last week had the opportunity to see only the Su- 47 Berkut, an iconic experimental test- bed aircraft with radical forward- swept wings. In this, a common fuselage and tail surfaces are combined with either a straight wing carrying Osprey-style tilt-rotors, or a swept wing with two under-slung turbofans, presumably using externally-blown flaps for stol. |
