Hold your breath, the first flight is expected in a few days.
“Today was taxiing, we are waiting for a jog” – grOOmi.
Today flying lab T-10M-10 b/n 710 with engines 117 has made the first flight. Photos, probably, will be later.
Oops! :confused:
18.01.2010 from Interfax-AVN:
“The date of the maiden flight of the fifth-generation fighter jet will be named this week
18.01.2010 from A. Fedorov – chief of UAC:
In the near future we can announce the first flight of this plane…

the wait will be over soon.



On 25th January, only will be accepted the decision on a place and flight date 🙂

Absolutely correct – excellent systematization! But:
NPO Saturn AL-41F @ 18+ t for defunct MiG MFI/1.44 programme
In fact it had been thrust 14000kg/s. 18 tons was achieved through the enormous increase in fuel consumption.
Weapons bay for the Su-30MKI?
So, it is a PS made by paralay, but there are also real projects:

Latest update: PAK-FA commences high-speed taxi trials (?) coms via radio scanners.
No, it is the deformed hearings about Т-10М-10 taxi trials. The first and unique taxi trials of T-50 were in December.
has that 710/117 combo flown yet?
It is difficult to translate for me. In Russian, please, you are able 😉
Is it one of the 11 Su-35s that the RuAF accepted but never put into service?
Yes.
So this is the ex-Su-35 then ex-Su-37 then ex-Su-35 again and now T-10M-10 engine testbed. Is that correct?
NO. Su-37 is bort number 711.
The ill-fated Su-35 b/n 904 was rumoured to have had an uprated ‘117C’ engine, was that the ‘117’?
Su-35 b/n 904 had a definitive set of the onboard equipment (a serial configuration), and the engine 117C. Serial Su-35 will be equipped with engines 117С.
Has T-10M b/n 710 assumed the engine test duties of ‘904’?
Of course not, b/n 710 is flying laboratory for the PAK FA program.
Is the ‘new’ 117 a MMPP Salyut product?
117С is the simplified variant of 117, they are not interchangeable – other control system and units. 117 top of a ruler: 117А, 117С, 117
So we can assume PAK-FA’s first-flight will be with standard 117Cs, then it’ll switch to the 117
Pavel Bulat has the information that the first flight will be with the engine 117, but according to other data – with the engine 117С. We shall see.
From the latest news: there is a number of engines of 117 family: 117А; 117С; 117. 117А presumably is export updating. 117С it is established on Su-35. 117 – most powerful of family will stand on PAK FА before occurrence of the fifth generation engine.
I recently found this leaked image (the real thing I swear) on the paralay boards
What? Where? 😮
Häää ??? Why …
Because it is Rafale simulator. Really.
***Has gone to be hung up.***
It is very pity. It is very shame to me 🙁
What the chief of the Air Forces of Russia does in a cabin of Rafale? Turn on your brain.
I am not sure whether it is PAK FA or not but Rafale’s canopy does not open like that!
