Russia’s Su-57 fifth-generation multirole fighter received the cockpit with the maximum degree of automated processes, the United Aircraft Corporation (part of the state tech corporation Rostec) said in its New Horizons corporate magazine on Monday.

The Su-57 features the maximum automation of piloting and combat employment processes, which has helped specialists develop a one-seat multirole fighter, the publication says.

Automation, information integration and intellectual support are the key requirements for the ergonomics of the cockpit of a modern fighter, Head of the Cockpit Department of the Sukhoi Design Bureau (within the UAC) Nikita Dorofeyev told the New Horizons magazine.

"Theoretically, the pilot may not engage in piloting after the take-off and until making an approach for landing and can instead focus on searching for and attacking targets. Moreover, this process is also sufficiently automated," he stressed.

According to the magazine’s data, the fighter is equipped with multifunctional indicators that can provide the pilot with a large amount of information on the tactical situation and the operation of the aircraft’s systems.

The Su-57 incorporates the technology of intellectual support that helps the pilot accomplish assigned tasks, the New Horizons magazine says.
