Mikoyan MiG-1.44

The MiG-1.44, NATO name Flatpack, was the single technology demonstrator for the Mikoyan Project 1.42 fighter, the Soviet MFI or multifunctional frontline fighter meant to answer the American Advanced Tactical Fighter that became the F-22. A canard-delta design with thrust-vectoring engines, it was planned as a fifth-generation aircraft with supermaneuverability, supercruise and some radar signature reduction. Construction was half done when the Soviet Union collapsed and funding vanished, so the aircraft was rolled out only in January 1999 and flew just twice, on 29 February and 27 April 2000, before the programme was cancelled. The sole prototype survives and was shown at MAKS 2015.
