The parachute braking system for the T-50 aircraft confirmed the characteristics during the tests

During the flight tests of the 5th generation fighter T-50, the Sukhoi company checked the parachute braking system created for this aircraft, Dmitry Tretyakov, Director General of the Parachute Research Institute (part of the Rostec holding), told reporters on Monday.

“At present, Sukhoi is conducting its tests, we are waiting for their result. There are no comments on our system yet, I hope there won’t be any, ”said the Director General.

In addition, Tretyakov noted that the Research Institute of Parachute Engineering is conducting development work on other braking systems, in particular for the upgraded high-altitude interceptor MiG-31 and a light multi-role fighter of the 4 ++ MiG-35 generation.
