The space between the air channels and engines remains until the end of the fuselage. The end of the fuselage extends beyond the exhausts, creating a so-called stinger tail, typical
The Russians have been flying derated 33 klb Al-41Fs in a Su-27S since 2004. With Al-41F engines installed the Flanker's robust margin in kinematic performance against the Super Hornet grows considerably in all regimes of flight – it provides the Flanker with 'F-22-like' raw agility and performance.
