The Sukhoi Su-7 is a single seat ground attack aircraft that was for a long period the standard tactical fighter-bomber with the Soviet Air Force (VVS). The development of Su-7 began in the early 1950's. First prototype, called S-1 "Strela", made its first flight in 1955. The Su-7 was unveiled to the West at the 1956 Soviet Aviation Day display at Tushino Airport outside Moscow. The prototype turned out to be very promising and Su-7 went in production several years later, in several versions including the Su-7B, Su-7BM, Su-7BKM and the Su-7BKL. The aircraft was exported to Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania, China, and other countries. Construction: ------------------ The swept two-spar wing is swept 60 deg. at leading edge, has Fowler flaps and boosted ailerons. All controls are hydraulic. Each wing carries two prominent fences. The semi-monocoque fuselage is mainly of cylindrical shape, bulged coke bottle fashion at rear end, according to area ruling principles. The air intake has an in-flight adjustable centre body with di-electric cone for radar rangefinder. The pressurised cockpit is equipped with the KS-4 ejection seat. The rear fuselage carries four petal-type airbrakes, controlled hydraulically. The vertical empendage has a 60 deg. sweep, the slab stabiliser having counterweight spikes at its tip. The hydraulically activated undercarriage has a forward-retracting nose wheel, the main wheels, retracting towards the fuselage centreline. The wheels are carried on trailing arms, the skids on arms with dampers. The powerplant consists of the axial-flow Lyulka AL-7F-1 (TRD-31) turbo-jet of 66.48 kN dry thrust and 94.08 kN with reheat. For shortening the take-off two JATO bottles SPRD 110- rated at 29.4 kN thrust are used. Armament --------------- The SU-7BKL has powerful fixed armament - two 30 mm cannon NR-30 (70 rounds/gun). Two to six rocket pods (of 16 unguided 57 mm 55 rockets to each pod), unguided air to surface rockets, 2 x 1.000 kg of bombs , or guided air-to-ground missiles can be carried on the two fuselage and four underwing hard points. SU-7's can also, but as a ground strike aircraft, normally do not, carry air-to-air missiles. The SU-7BKL can also fulfil the photo reconnaissance role.
