Sukhoi Su-57 Fifth-Generation Multirole Aircraft Family
The Sukhoi Su-57 is a Russian fifth-generation multirole aircraft family developed from the PAK FA/T-50 programme. Its low-observable shaping, integrated avionics, supercruise-oriented design, and high maneuverability made it a major post-Cold-War Russian aerospace programme; the T-50 prototypes led to serial Su-57 aircraft and later export and two-seat development paths.

- Two UEC AL-41F-1 first-stage afterburning turbofans (Product 117) used on early Su-57 flight-test/production configurations; later Product 177 is a separate option.
- Name
- Su-57 two-engine AL-41F-1 first-stage installation
- Notes
- Rostec identifies AL-41F-1 as the first-stage powerplant for the Su-57 and records the aircraft’s early flight program with UEC-built AL-41F-1 engines; this preserves the distinct first-stage option from the later Product 30/177 boundary.

- Name
- Su-57 two-engine Product 177 configuration
- Notes
- UAC and Rostec report the Su-57 first flight with the fifth-generation Product 177 engine in 2025; this distinct configuration records the later engine-stage boundary without changing the earlier AL-41F-1 option.
