Description

The Sukhoi T-49 was a modernized version of the Sukhoi Su-11 with new radar and modified armament. The project was officially launched on August 6, 1957. The maiden flight of the T-49 prototype took place in January 1960, after various rolling tests in October 1959.
In the development of the T-49, the delta wing, the tail and the cigar-shaped fuselage were taken from the Su-11. The entire fuselage in front of the cockpit has been redesigned to accommodate a more powerful radar. This extended the nose of the aircraft. Since this also gave the plane a larger diameter than the Su-11, it was no longer possible to accommodate the radar antenna in the shock cone of the air inlet. Therefore, lateral air inlets were constructed on both sides of the nose. This also simplified the operation of the radar, since its antenna was now firmly installed in the aircraft nose and the forward and backward movements of the engine shock cone no longer had to be compensated for.
