General Characteristics

The Sukhoi Su-26M is a single-seat, single-engine aerobatic aircraft derived from the original Su-26. It is one of the worlds premier unlimited-class aerobatic competitors, known for its extremely light weight, high power-to-weight ratio, and robust structure capable of withstanding severe g-forces.

Design and Powerplant

  • Engine: One Vedeneyev M-14P 9-cylinder, air-cooled radial piston engine.
  • Power Output: 268 kW (360 hp).
  • Propeller: Three-bladed (later four-bladed) German Mühlbauer composite propeller.
  • Construction: The Su-26 was the first Soviet aerobatic aircraft to use over 50% composite materials, resulting in a very high strength-to-weight ratio.
  • Fuselage: Steel tube truss structure, titanium in critical areas.
  • Cockpit: Bubble canopy provides excellent all-around visibility, crucial for aerobatic competition.

Performance and Handling

  • Maximum Speed: 450 km/h (280 mph).
  • Stall Speed: 105 km/h (65 mph).
  • Roll Rate: Extremely high, exceeding 360 degrees per second.
  • G-Force Limits: Certified for maximum load factors of +12 to -10g, allowing for extremely violent maneuvers typical in international unlimited aerobatics.
  • Key Improvement (Su-26M): The « M » variant introduced structural enhancements, redesigned wingtips, lighter materials, and often a four-bladed propeller, further enhancing its vertical performance and roll authority.
  • Competition Success: The Su-26 family won numerous gold medals at World and European Aerobatic Championships, demonstrating superior performance against its Western counterparts.
