Flanker Main Wheels - different styles

Recommended Posts

Following a discussion on another board about the main wheels on the Sukhoi Flanker, I've put together a page of photos I have taken over the years showing the differences....

The first generation with a central cooling hole looks like this......

The second generation with multiple holes and 3 sets of retaining bolts looks like this.....

The very latest third generation wheels with 4 sets of bolts look like this....

Note that the labels First Second and Third generation are purely my invention to differentiate the 3 types.

More photos of each type here - (scroll down past the fins).

Happy Flankering and Happy New Year
