Sukhoi S-52 (S-57) WT model - another appearance on TV

[flateric]

In two of today's reportages from vice-prime Sergey Ivanov visit to TzAGI (SuperJet 100 static tests, hugging Pogosyan) S-52 WT model has appeared again. Seems there were a bunch of others models around...but they were not shown. Citate: ' Then Ivanov went to the several other hangars, but journalists were not allowed to follow him...".

Thanks - I suppose that finally solves the mystery of exact inlet configuration (wedge shaped).

From the today's Aviators TV-show. Thanks Paralay for the hint.

That one is just COOL! Except it needs to have three engines in the back.

Well, now things go more specific. Once more, it was shown to group of journalists arrived to TsAGI 90th annyversary celebration activities.

Placard says of it as of 'Thematic model 'Rhythm' for evaluating various aerodynamic layouts of maneuverable aircrafts'

By the way,

the S-57 Project was powered by one TRDD turbofan engine.
