Project Description
Fighters MIG-29 TECHNICAL DETAILS
The MiG-29 has hydraulic controls and a SAU-451 three-axis autopilot but, unlike the Su-27, no fly-by-wire control system. Nonetheless, it is very agile, with excellent instantaneous and sustained turn performance, high-alpha capability, and a general resistance to spins. The airframe consists primarily of aluminum with some composite materials,[specify] and is stressed for up to 9 g (88 m/s²) maneuvers. The controls have “soft” limiters to prevent the pilot from exceeding g and alpha limits, but the limiters can be disabled manually.
