The Sukhoi Su-29 is the two seat member of the family of aerobatic aircraft.
The Su-29, was developed primarily as a trainer for new Sukhoi aerobatic aircraft pilots.
The trainer has just 35% new parts. All others are shared with its predecessor.
The primary difference is a lengthened center fuselage and canopy to
accommodate the student pilot, plus an increased wing length, both by
about 16 inches. It first took to the sky on August 9, 1991.
Twelve Su-29 aircraft were delivered to the United States in 1992. Other
countries using the aircraft include Argentina, Great Britain, and
South Africa.
Not only are they used to train prospective Sukhoi
aerobatic pilots, but also as civil and military aviation trainers.
To date some 50 Sukhoi Su-29 training aircraft have been produced.
