medal64A nice interview about engines of the NPO Saturn, especially second stage of PAK-FA engines and Sam146.
Translate needed!
medal64As a hardware maybe, but the A2G software for the strike-variant is in need of some extra years to reach the related capabilities.
See the extra years in need for the Su-34/32FN about that. That could be much faster produced, but it does not make much sense to do so without the final software at hand. All the few present examples of that were used for that purpose at first f.e..

In 2016 hope for the first flight! Not an operational aircraft;)
medal64When all goes well, we will see from 2015 the first series examples of the T-50 with a Russian air-force regiment (wing) at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipetsk_Air_Base
to work it up to frontline-use similar the Su-34 right now.
And also if everything goes ok, maybe we can see the double seater version one year later 😀
medal64India will get both versions of the fifth-generation fighter
Russia and India agreed in general terms, the contribution of each of the parties to draft a fifth-generation fighter, said in an interview with RIA Novosti chairman of state concern Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Ashok Nayak.
“Today, in general, determined the division of work: composite materials, avionics, and so may be targeted by HAL”, – he said.
India and Russia have agreed on joint development and construction of fifth generation fighter aircraft, which first flew in January of this year. It is assumed there would be two versions of this fighting machine – single and double.
“Now, agreed that joint work will be carried over the two versions of the aircraft,” – said Nayak, who led the corporation in April 2009.
According to him, the first stage the parties will engage in only one-seat version of the aircraft, and work on a double to start later.
“For the Indian Air Force will be released both versions,” – said Nayak.
The head of state corporation said that the Indian Air Force has already formulated the technical requirements for its one-seat version and sent the relevant documentation to Russia’s colleagues.
“Indian Air Force to date, identified the technical requirements for one-seat version of the aircraft. They were handed over to Russian and taken to the Indian version,” – explained Nayak.
According to him, Russia and Indian engineers will work on the fighter project in both countries, and will be put in a full exchange of information.
Nayak did not mention the cost of the project, specifying only that the costs are distributed more equally.
As reported earlier, Russia and India can jointly create a fifth-generation fighter for the years 2015-2016 (T-50 Russia’s version of the aircraft). It is assumed that the new generation fighter will begin to come into Russia’s troops from 2015 (single version), and by 2020 will appear in the Indian Air Force.
T-50 – fifth-generation fighter heavy class with a takeoff weight of more than 30 tons, the medium-scale (roughly corresponding to the Su-27), which is a monoplane with widely spaced engines and two ridges, strongly deflected outward from the longitudinal axis. Appearance airframe designed using technologies geometric invisibility stealth “.
Fifth generation fighter aircraft equipped with a fundamentally new avionics, which integrates the function of “e-pilot”, and promising radar with a phased antenna array.This significantly reduces the load on the pilot and allows you to concentrate on the implementation of tactical tasks.
T-50 can take off and land using land runway length of 300-400 meters. The plane will reach speeds of up to 2,1 thousand kilometers per hour and to fly a distance of up to 5,5 thousand kilometers. Fighter is also equipped with a set of in-flight refueling.
The aircraft has a large internal weapons bay.It can accommodate up to eight missiles R-77 air combat or two large controlled bomb weighing 1,500 kilograms. Fighter is capable of external sling to carry two extra high-range missile design bureau “Innovator”. These T-50 missiles capable of destroying aircraft, for example, type AWACS, at a distance of 400 kilometers.

medal64A set of Engines for the second prototype of PAK FA has already delivered
Rybinsk (Yaroslavl region), March 11. (ITAR-TASS).For the 2 nd prototype flight model of long-term aviation system frontline aircraft (PAK FA), produced by Sukhoi, the United engine-Corporation (JDC) has already delivered a set of Engines, told reporters in Rybinsk CEO of RBC Andrei Reus.
“The program is implemented to the day. The same would be the case and the subsequent machines”, – assured Reus. According to him, “engine was very successful, and solves the problem, but it still applies to motors so-called first stage. At the present time, said the head of the JDC, “the work on the second stage,” but it depends on when the Defense Ministry has announced a tender, or from making other decisions in this regard.
“Either way, the engine of the second phase for the PAK FA will be conducted in cooperation Saturn and the Moscow machine-building production association” Salute “- Reus said. At the same time the share of” Saturn “now account for 83 per cent. Aeroengine on Salyut – 17 percent., added Andrei Reus.

medal64The first package of agreements between Russia and India to work together on fighter 5-th generation will be signed in coming days
MOSCOW, March 9. (ITAR-TASS).The first package of agreements between Moscow and New Delhi to build a fighter of 5-th generation of Indian Armed Forces on the basis of Russia’s model of long-term aviation system Frontal Aviation T-50 (PAK FA) may be signed in the coming days, the company said Sukhoi – Developer fighter.
“Now we come to an agreement on the sketchy technical project aircraft – the company said. – We expect to sign a document at the beginning of the second half of March.It is, he said, about “the full parity collaboration on design and development of combat aircraft for the Indian Air Force.” “In essence, creates a new plane based on the model T-50.
This document is “only the first stage – said the company” Sukhoi “. There is still a lot of work.” “To be to settle a large number of technical details,” – noted in the company, explaining that the Indian side, in particular, wants to create a two-seater, while Russia’s version of T-50 is the management of one pilot. By some estimates, the cost of the joint development of fighter 5 th generation will be 8.10 billion. Funding for the program will be implemented on a parity basis. Catalog price of the aircraft, said the company “Sukhoi”, will be 85-100 million dollars. It is assumed that it would take six or seven years before the company will take to the mass production of the fighter.
In India, the new fighter assigned abbreviation FGFA (Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft). The Indian side it will create a corporation Hindustan Aeronavtiks Limited.
As reported previously the head of the company “Sukhoi” Mikhail Pogosyan, ” except India, Russia there won’t be strategic partners on this project.At the same time, he did not rule out that the aircraft will also be other foreign buyers. “The presence of fighter 5 th generation increases the effectiveness of groups in general”, – said Pogosyan.
First flight of PAK FA was held on 29 January this year in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. The aircraft spent 47 minutes in the air and landed on the runway factory airfield KnAAPO. The flight was successful, in full accordance with the flight plan. “During the flight we had a primary assessment of controllability of the aircraft, engine and major systems, the aircraft made a full-time cleaning and landing gear. He showed himself well in all phases of our intended flight program. They are easy and comfortable to operate,” – noted Honored Test Pilot Sergei Bogdan, piloted the plane.
Compared with previous generations of fighter PAK-FA has several unique features, combining the functions of attack aircraft and fighter. Airplane 5-th generation has a fundamentally new avionics, which integrates the function of “e-pilot”, and promising radar with active phased array. This significantly reduces the load on the pilot and allows you to concentrate on the implementation of tactical tasks.On-board equipment of a new aircraft enables the exchange of data in real time as a land-management systems, and within the aviation group.
The use of composite materials and innovative technology, aerodynamic design aircraft, measures to reduce the visibility of the engine provides unprecedented low level of radar, optical and infrared visibility.This allows you to significantly improve the combat effectiveness in the work, both by air and ground targets, at any time of day, in simple and adverse weather conditions.Until now, warplanes 5-th generation are armed with only the U.S. Air Force.
The end of 2010 – the beginning of 2011 the company “Sukhoi” going to produce three prototype 5-th generation. In the near same time the first sample arrives to undergo flight tests in the near Moscow LII im.Gromova.A source in the “sukhoi” asserts that “the plane will arrive in Zhukovsky test in April.”
medal64Good cockpit picture and more, company’s T-50 chief designer Alexander Davidenko says, almost %70 of the outer surface- %25 of the aircraft’s empty weight consists of composites.

medal64Lockheed Martin will deliver 20 F-16 fighters to Egypt
Moscow. March 4. Aviaport.ru, U.S. company Lockheed Martin on Wednesday received from the U.S. government’s initial contract worth $ 213 million to supply 20 new F-16 Advanced Block 52 in Egypt, the company says.
Until 2013, Egypt expects to receive 16 single-seater F-16C and four double F-16D. These aircraft will join the existing fleet of F-16 Air Force of this country.
Egypt became the first Arab country has received F-16 fighters in accordance with the program of foreign military supplies, which has been called the Peace Vector.First 42 planes F-16A and F-16B came to this country in 1980 Total in Egypt as it was delivered to 240 fighter planes of this model.Today in the Egyptian Air Force has 209 F-16 variants A, B, C and D, with 46 of them – Turkish production.
I wonder the price of one F-16 Block-52 ~10 millions dollars???
medal64Following Success of PAK FA, Russia To Develop New Strategic bomber, PAK DA
Following the successful development and tests of the fifth-generation aircraft, Sukhoi’s PAK FA, Russia plans to start working on the Perspective Aviation Complex of Distant Aviation – PAK DA, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said at the meeting devoted to the development of the nation’s defense complex, Itar-Tass reports.
We do not limit ourselves to the development of only one model. The fifth-generation fighter jet triggers the development of the perspective aviation complex of distant aviation – our new strategic bomber,” Putin said.
Putin said that the Russian defense complex had every opportunity to execute all the plans.
“The recent successful tests of the firth-generation fighter jet prove that. The new aircraft will be put into service during the next several years,” the prime minister said.
“PAK FA has already performed three flights. About 2,000 flights will be necessary to launch the serial production of the aircraft,” he added.
Speaking about the national missile defense system, Putin said that Russia would have to build a joint system which would unite both anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense.
“We have conducted profound changes in the industry for this purpose. Large holdings have been established – the United Aircraft-Building Corporation, Oboronprom Concern, Almaz-Antei and Tactical Missile Arms.”
“The industry received 93 billion rubles of support from the state during the crisis period,” Putin said.
Russia ’s state program in the defense industry stipulates the delivery of over 1,500 new aircraft and helicopters, as well as nearly 200 anti-aircraft complexes. The share of state-of-the-art hardware in the nation’s air force is to make up 80 percent (the share of anti-aircraft systems – 75 percent), which will considerably increase the defensive potential of the national armed forces.
In the meantime, Russia’s legendary aircraft maker, Sukhoi, plans to launch test flights of three more fifth-generation aircraft, the head of the design bureau Mikhail Pogosyan said Tuesday (March 2). The flights, the official said, would begin at the end of 2010 or in the beginning of 2011.
Mr. Pogosyan also said that Sukhoi was not going to present Russia’s new aircraft at the international air show in Farnborough in the summer of this year.
PAK FA’s basic test flights will begin in April of 2010. The tests will last for several years.

medal64Probably, but the control stick is there
Wonder what this does mean
2. Radar at 1 and 2 is naturally not planned “We do not need it”
Thank you medal, btw
I understand it such like this “At first and second prototype radar will not be onboard and not necessary” 🙂
medal64During the Putin’s Sukhoi “tour” – there was the Chief Designer Davidenko. Based on all this came some representatives of the media, by virtue of their abilities and understanding of the issues presented about PAK-FA, PAK-DA, which will sukhoi supposedly make about 350 until 2020.
What is actually shown (before the arrival of GDP):
1. Stand CRS-50 (attended Bogdan, said for April)
2. Stand avionics with real cockpit (specify – cabin, the “real” as the 50-1, well, unless the exception of some ACA, etc.)
3. Halls design (gl.konstr. Davidenko answered questions, mainly silly, on the screen – including design-power scheme of the wing, etc.)
4. Simulator (a screen “digital” test-wing glider in general, the memory of one-third of getting foreign objects, refueling – to avoid getting fuel from the hose in a / s, etc., etc.) Hall, where stands 50-0, drove only GDP and a pair of cameras + staff fotik Sukhov (but its pictures, which fell 50-0, has not yet given, such as “Nizzam, although still pictures RTR and NTV all have seen) .
Next “basically” (so incidentally Sukhovskii corporate magazine called ), Very briefly, on those issues on which there broke a lot of copies.
1. 50-2 forward towards the end of the year. 3 and 4 – in 2011.
2. Radar at 1 and 2 is naturally not planned “We do not need it”
3. Engine of the second phase are not waiting until 2020-th. “Engine of the first phase satisfied, including at supersonic cruising” and go into serial 2015-2016. Again, very angry, who believes the first stage engine “old” (because as a completely new FADEC, the new turbine, the thrust, extra 2,500 kgs, weight, and less consumption, etc., etc.).
4. As follows: the 4-th generation ( “type aircraft Su-27”) – about 12 meters, the F-22 – about 0,3 … 0,4. And will be “no worse than the F-22 or so”???
5. In Zhukovsky “in the next few months (April – to see there), there will be a presentation, but” one must still keep an intrigue ”
Translation is not good but I think understandable.

medal64Integrator of the engine 2 nd stage for the fighter 5 th generation will be “Joint engine manufacturing corporation”
Integrator of the engine 2 nd stage for the fighter 5-th generation (PAK FA) will be “Joint engine manufacturing corporation,” said the head of the corporation “Sukhoi” Mikhail Pogosyan.
According to him, most likely, an integrator of the engine 2 nd stage for a promising set of front-line aircraft engine manufacturing will be a Joint Corporation, which merged with the Salyut. “Already defined the contours of the engine 2 nd stage, but we must realize that its cycle of creation 10-12 years, “- said Pogosyan. He ruled out the possibility of engine 2-th stage in the coming years.” Similarly, do not appear by 2015 “, – stressed the head of the corporation.
Pogosyan said that for the PAK FA “Try not critical to the start of the tests with the engine 1-th stage. “The plane took off with a new engine, which was designed specifically for this aircraft,” – he said, stressing that “this modern design, which allows to operate the aircraft for a long time.” According to him, the exploitation of PAK-FA “in the Armed Forces of our country with the engine 1-th stage.
As for the next engine, said Pogosyan, “the time of its implementation should be clarified.””We need to clarify the scope of work and sources of funding – he stated. – The challenge this is. Determine during 2010 – maximum 2011.
