Sukhoi 29, 3 Plan view Reverse Engineering

Assalamualaikum and good day to all,

How are you today? Still on your workstation and doing your CAD work or minggling aound with your smart phone looking for something new in the net?

As yesterday, i woke up early in the morning, around 4 am, and its still dark here in malaysia as the sunrise on 7 am. So, i turned on catia, and might be do some work that morning. This is the perfect time to start catia work as two of my sons and their mother is still comfortably sleeping in their bed.

Open up GOOGLE CHROME. Search for Sukhoi 29. Cropping the side, top and front view, and finished the reverse engineering on sukhoi 29 around 3 hours. The pictures will not be found in the catia in PNG. But it will work well on jpg as i done it in this task.

Reference

I love this airplane as i have it on my table, not the real airplane, but a radio control plane. Have flown it for couple of tries and yet it is flying lovely as she looks. It has a symmetrical airfoil, mid wing, a big size of aileron, elevator and rudder. It also have a large surface of wing, horizontal and vertical stabilizer too. It also have quit a big spinner in front of its huge engine cowling. It also have a small landing gear on its back.

Interesting facts about this SUKHOI 29

Reference

The Sukhoi Su-29 is a two seat aircraft, which, when flown solo, has the capability of winning a World Championship, yet also being suitable for aerobatic training, and even touring, having a range of up to 1,400kms!By virtue of having a composite fuselage, the Su-29 only weighs some 40kg more than the Su-26, and when flown solo, the performance is virtually identical, although it is somewhat heavier on the controls.

1. The aim in the design of the Su-29 was to have an aircraftthat had the aerobatic capability when flown solo of the SU-26/SU-31 while having a second seat thus dramatically increasing the usefulness of the aircraft.
2. Inevitably, the greater weight and size of the aircraft makes it a little less agile than the single seaters, but two-seat Su-29 have been competing with great success at a huge variety of aerobatic competitions – even up to World Championship level.
3. Mechanically, the Su-29 is similar to all the other Sukhois, with a high tensile stainless-steel forward fuselage, while the rear fuselage, tail and the entire wing structure is composite.  Again, it shares the single seaters extraordinary strength – the aircraft is cleared for   
4. +12/-10G at maximum aerobatic weight and with five wings having been deliberately broken in tests, the minimum that one has failed at has been at 23.5G!
5. 
   
6. The Su-29 is in full production and approximately 64 aircraft have been made to date.  Sales have been made to most countries in theWest, but also to South Africa, Australia; Brazil; Indonesia; the Middle East; Mexico and as well as eight aircraft for the Argentine Airforce.

And i also have done the CATIA REVERSE ENGINEERING on SUKHOI 29 as in pictures below. Feel free to comments on my comments on the bottom of this page.
