In the maximum burner-free mode it reaches 8,800 kgf. The modernization has increased the engine special mode thrust by 16%, up to 14,500 kgf. A provision is made for using a vectored thrust nozzle. They use a new fan, new high and low pressure turbines, and a new digital control system. In terms of engineering, the engines are substantially modified AL-31F production engines employing fifth-generation technologies. Those engines, known as 117S, have been developed by NPO Saturn Research and Production Association. In 2009, Sukhoi estimated that the Su-35 would be manufactured at a rate of 24 to 30 aircraft each year from 2010 to 2020.Īnother important difference of the Su-35 from predecessors from the Su-27 family is the use, in its power plant, of new engines with an increased thrust. In May 2011, the first production model Su-35S was flown for the first time. On 14 October 2010, Sukhoi announced that the first production Su-35S had completed general assembly and that the first aircraft would be delivered to the Russian Ministry of Defense by the end of the year.

On 18 August of the same year, the Russian Defense Ministry announced a contract for 48 Su-35S (Serial) fighters along with 16 Su-27/30 fighters to be delivered by 2015. Following the first prototype, now on the assembly line of KnAAPO (Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Production Association) are a further two examples of Su-35. Its first flight took place on February 19, 2008.
