Sukhoi Su-9

CCV / L.02.10

A Su-9 (93 Blue c/n 1215393) was converted as a control configured vehicle using a pair of all-moving vertical foretails mounted forward of the cockpit.
Flight trials were carried out with the upper fore-tail removed as it restricted vision unacceptably. After an intensive set of trials with [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] (Lyotno-Issledovatel'skiy Institoot - flight research institute) between 1968 and 1975 the CCV was modified with a direct side force control system and re-named L.02.10 (probably indicating that the resarch was in support of the T-10 programme ([Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]), flying until 1984.

The L.07.10 first flew in 1977 but crashed after a birdstrike in 1982, killing the test-pilot.
