OVERVIEW:
The MiG-1.42/1.44 MFI (Mnogofounksionalni Frontovoi Istrebitel or Multifunctional Frontline Fighter) is an advanced development from the Mikoyan-Gurevich aircraft design bureau initially built to be a 5th-generation fighter to compete with the American F-22 Raptor and the Sukhoi S-37/Su-47 Berkut. Mikoyan boasted that the aircraft was able to outperform its American counterpart with advanced stealth, speed approaching 2500 km/h, and an excellent manoeuvrability spectrum, however none of this can be substantiated.
Unfortunately this aircraft met an untimely demise thanks to the poor allocation of funding from the Russian Defense Ministry and lack of publicity until late in the 1997, and by then the aircraft was as good as scrapped. It managed one short test flight in 2000 and was severely hampered by the rarity of the proposed AL-41F engine, developed specifically for the fighter. With the delivery of the engine delayed indefinitely and the mounting expense costs involved with the project, the MiG-MAPO design bureau and the Russian Air Force killed the project by 2001, paving the way for the new 5th-generation Russian air superiority fighter to be solely developed by Sukhoi.
