The MiG-31 Foxhound long-range supersonic interceptor aircraft, is a two-seat aircraft developed principally for the Russian and Kazakhstan Air Forces, was derived from MiG-25 Foxbat. The maiden flight of the MiG-31 happened in September 1975. Mikoyan is the designer and manufacturer of the MiG-31.
The most capable Russian air defense interceptor aircraft, the FOXHOUND contains with multiple-target engagement capability and was the first Soviet fighter to possess a real look-down, shoot-down capability. The N007 Zaslon radar was the first electronically scanned phased array radar to enter service in the world. It might scan 200 km forward and track 10 targets simultanieously.
MiG-31 supersonic aircraft provided with two Solovyev D-30F6 turbofan shaft engines with a take-off thrust 15,500kgf each. The dry thrust of the D-30F6 is 9,500kgf for every engine. The engine provides a most speed of Mach 1.23 at low altitude and increases the aircraft's range. The fuel consumption of the MiG-31 is incredibly high compared to different aircraft, principally because of its multiple roles.
