19. T-50 Engines
The T-50 uses a pair of Saturn izdeliye 117 engines. That means exactly nothing to the average reader, but this next bit will help. The design of these engines is not mono-directional. They have something called vectoring nozzles, which means the engines don’t only push the craft forward. They can provide thrust in three planes of the aircraft’s rotational axles, a key to the maneuverability of the T-50. One mid-air feat they call Pugachev’s Cobra, which is where the T-50 goes from a horizontal plane to a vertical plane, and then back without changing altitude.
