i always wondered how they did those stunts. But seeing the airflow with the smoke explains it perfectly

If you mean the black plane with the forward swept wings, that's an SU-37 'Berkut', Russia's 5th generation fighter.
Aesthetically, it's my absolute favourite fighter to date.

^^ Yeah that 's the one I ment.
Which fighter does it replace? since it is so radically different from any previous one's.
It reminds me of the futuristic fighter jet in the movie Stealth.

Judging by the name, I'm assuming it's an evolution of the SU-37 'Terminator'.

^^^ Interesting
I'm actually in the process of designing and building my own futuristic fighter jet in a a 3D program. So I'm trying to get as much info on current new models out there.

Well the Berkut isn't really 'new' anymore, it bowed back in '97 I believe. It does have incredible handling characteristics though, really pushed the boundaries. And of course again, you have the looks, which are just pure sex haha.
The Eurofighter, Joint Strike Fighter, and Raptor would be good additional places to look for inspiration if you haven't already.
EF-2000 Eurofighter -
F35 (JSF) -
F22 -

:shock: '97 I was expecting SU-37 to be an '07 model
I'm well familiar with the Eurofighter and the F22, but I don't think I've seen the F35.
I appreciate the info nickthaskater, guess I’m going to do a bit more research now to catch up.

No problem
The F35 is a really cool bit of kit, well worth checking up on it. It's even capable of vertical take off and landing ala Harrier.
