Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II vs Sukhoi Su-57 (Felon) Comparison

Aviation | Utilities | Side-by-Side Comparison

Direct side-by-side comparison of two aircraft.

Your selected aircraft are compared in side-by-side arrangement below. You can always go back and Compare any two aircraft in our database. Some entries contain '0', 'not available', or an 'NA' value. This is more common with conceptual, experimental, and x-plane designs. Rotary-wing system (i.e. helicopters) values include main rotor diameter as part of width/wingspan measurement. UAV entries may display crew values as '0', not taking into account ground-based controllers.
