The Aircraft
Sukhoi Su-26M
The Sukhoi Su-26 is a single-seat aerobatic aircraft originally developed in the former Soviet Union exclusively for high-performance competition aerobatics.
More than 40 years after its first flight, it remains one of the most iconic and respected aerobatic aircraft in the world, still competing at the highest international level.
Powered by a 400 hp Vedeneyev M-14PF nine-cylinder radial engine, the Su-26 is known for its exceptional power-to-weight ratio, aggressive manoeuvrability and unmistakable radial engine sound.
Its lightweight yet extremely strong structure allows the aircraft to withstand very high aerodynamic loads while maintaining extraordinary agility and precision.
The Sukhoi delivers a raw and unique flying experience both for pilots and spectators.
