Technical characteristics of Su -24 fighter-bomber.

In the end, the mass-produced Su -24 fuselage has a large space, a wide and slender fuselage, and the side-by-side cockpit can accommodate two people. With variable tail design, the sweep angle can be adjusted between 16, 35, 45 and 69 degrees. The horizontal tail is a fully moving tail, which acts as an elevator when the two horizontal tails deflect up and down synchronously; When one deflects upward and the other deflects downward, it acts like an aileron. As a frontline bomber, the Su -24 can take off and land on the dirt runway. The machine adopts cantilever upper wing, and the shape of the variable swept wing is similar to that of MIG -23. There is a dihedral angle between the wing and the wing root. The wing includes a triangular fixed wing box and a movable wing section. The rotating point of the movable wing is closer to the fuselage than that of Su-17/-20 and backfire bomber. The outer wing section is all-metal structure and can be swept at 16, 45 and 68 angles.

The wing has a full-span leading edge slat and a two-stage trailing edge double-slit flap, and the outer side of the flap is a retractable aileron. In front of the flap is a differential spoiler, which can control rolling at low speed and can be used as a lift damping plate when landing. Full-motion horizontal tail, differential symmetrical motion of two horizontal tails, can play the role of aileron and elevator. When the wing sweepback angle becomes larger, the aircraft roll is controlled by the differential horizontal tail; When the wing sweepback angle becomes smaller, the spoiler (also speed brake) located in front of the trailing edge flap controls the rolling of the aircraft together with the differential horizontal tail. Vertical tail is a typical form of Sukhoi Design Bureau, with large sweep angle. The vertical tail is 5.50 meters above the ground. Various antennas are installed at the edge of the heavy tail, and the bottom is connected with the deceleration parachute cabin.

Su -24 is equipped with two P-29-300 twin-rotor afterburner turbojet engines, a1stage compressor and a 2-stage turbine, with a maximum afterburner thrust of 8300kg and a maximum afterburner thrust of12,500kg. The fuel consumption of full afterburner is 2kg/hr, and the rated fuel consumption is 0.83 kg/hr. The internal fuel tank is installed in front of the engine, and the internal fuel quantity is about 9000 kg. Besides normal aerial refueling, the flexible hose system with telescopic conical sleeve can be used as a cooperative tanker. The pylon and wing sleeve under the fuselage can hold 4 1250 liter auxiliary fuel tanks. The main landing gear is similar to MIG -23, which is a novel figure-eight landing gear with front and rear retraction. There is a joint on the landing gear, and the wheel can be obliquely attached to the smaller landing gear cabin when it is put away. The main landing gear adopts connecting rod shock absorber and low pressure tire, which can take off and land in general airports. Su -24 has a large oil load and a long voyage. The power plant is two famous AL-2 1F-3A turbojet engines developed by Luerka Design Bureau, with afterburner and single thrust of 24,690lb. The weapon is equipped with GSh-6-2323mm six-barrel gun, 9 external points, and can mount 8000 kilograms of ammunition. The two main wings can each hang a 3000-liter external auxiliary fuel tank, and a 2000-liter auxiliary fuel tank can also be hung under the fuselage. The M-type also has aerial refueling capability. For air-to-surface missiles, the basic type can use Kh-23 or Kh-23M (NATO code AS-7 "Heifer") radar command guided missiles with a range of 5 kilometers and can carry 4 missiles; Kh-28(AS-9 "Narrow Strait") and Kh-58 anti-radar missiles have a range of 90 kilometers and can carry two.

Su -24' s self-defense weapons are two R-60(AA-8 "Aphids") infrared short-range air-to-air missiles with a range of 3 kilometers. In addition to the above weapons, the M-type can also carry Kh-25L(AS- 10 "Karen State") laser-guided bombs with a range of 20 kilometers and can carry 4 bombs; Kh-29LT(AS- 14 "small anchor") laser/TV guided missile with a range of 10 km, carrying 3 missiles; KH-3/KOOC-0/P (As-/KOOC-0/7 "Krypton") anti-radar missile with a range of/KOOC-0/80 km, and can carry two; Kh-59(AS- 13 "big bolt") TV command guided missile, with a range of 90 kilometers, can carry two. In addition, KAB-500 kr TV guided bomb, KAB- 1500L laser guided bomb and various rockets can also be used.
