The highlight of the MAKS 2017 International Aerospace Saloon held this week at Zhukovsky near Moscow was a maneuvering flight display by a pair of Sukhoi T-50s, and news that this fifth-generation Russian fighter is going into production. A new medium-altitude, long-endurance (MALE) UAV was on display, plus some new versions of existing Russian aircraft. The show, held from July 18 to 20, attracted 18,000 to 24,000 visitors daily. Approximately half of the 170 aircraft on display flew during the event.
