Conceived
from the late 1960s as a high-performance fighter of the relaxed-stability
type with a quadruplex analog fly-by-wire control system, the Su-27 was
almost certainly the USSR's first genuine look-down/shoot-down fighter
with its pulse-Doppler radar and up to 10 AAMs. The first of 15 'Flanker-A'
prototypes flew on May 20, 1977, and was followed in April 1981 by the
'Flanker-B' initial production model that entered service in 1984 with
squared-off wing tips carrying missile launch rails. The type also has
a number of aerodynamic refinements such as vertical tail surfaces located
farther outboard, an extended tailcone, and leading-edge flaps. The Su-27UB
'Flanker-C' is the tandem two-seat variant first revealed in 1989 with
taller vertical tail surfaces. The variant has an improved radar in a slightly
longer nose, and is probably as much of a combat type as a trainer, with
the rear-seat officer managing of the warplane's upgraded avionics and
weapon systems.
 The
Su-27K 'Flanker-D' is the navalized version of the 'Flanker-B' selected
in 1992 for deployment on the navy's new conventional aircraft carriers.
This version has folding wings and tailplane halves, a retractable flight
refueling probe, an arrestor hook under a shortened bullet fairing between
the paired engine, strengthened landing gear, moving canard foreplanes
to allow slower landing at higher angles of attack, and engine uprated
some 12% to 15%."
