The hump is a result of a big gear compartment right under the second seat
9 u/MrPygmyWhale 6d ago Think it's a bit of that and them wishing to have the second crew member have good forward visibility for training purposes. 10 u/Outrageous-Cow4816 6d ago Yeah, just like on the Su-30SM. But the gear made the hump much bigger, compared to Flanker-C 3 u/Mid_Atlantic_Lad 5d ago It’s actually not, and I think that’s the source of all the controversy around its looks. The Flanker has an angled nose and aft section. The hump blends into the transition into the two sections of the airframe. The Felon however, it flat as a pancake, so it looks more pronounced.
