The plane was connected to ground generator only to take this pictures, that’s why we have all this fail messages 😡

do not understand, old ground generator/electric cart, sensitive avionics needs more demanding ground equipment?

“Windows Failure”, LOL

sweet…:)
could be “canopy jettison” by the detonation cord.

ahh, you are reinventing the wheel again, I said a few days ago they are rushing towards dead lines, it is an iceberg of issues when assembling an aircraft under working time pressure. They forgot to move the stabilizer when in the paintshop. When no hydraulic pressure, you can move it by hand and paint the surface under it. Did it my self on the Mig-29 stabilizer for example. There is still visible yellow zinc-chromate primer. Anyway, nice Su-35 camo….:D:D

I don’t see why not – all the other connectors were.

Fuel, electrical, LOX etc… so that when the Soviets swept west and overran NATO, they could use the infrastructure and systems.

I have a photo I took at RIAT Fairford showing a RusAF Tu-95MS being ‘re-fueled’ from a USAF LOX cart.

Is not that easy, there are still different standards. The LOX cart might have been USAF, but there had to be a correct adapter to fit into russian filling socket. There have to be people taking care about that when a russian a/c is landing in the UK. Not sure whether Russian IFR system is compatible with NATO standards, I doubt that.

Ahh, I have just noticed the throttle in the back cockpit. 🙂
But where is the rear stick grip? You mean that Ferrari-like ball? 🙂

check the video time 16:00. it seem they are using the WSO control stick a lot, check paint on the grip, peeled off already, funny since this Mig has been overhauled and modernized lately..typical russian 🙂 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRQKtfihI6w&feature=channel&list=UL

From informations revealed and photos available it is clear to see the so called “new” wing of the 476 has an all Al alloy structure, skin and Al alloy honeycomb lifting surfaces. The difference there is that the wing structure has been modified, better optimalized to fit new technologies acquired by the manufacturing plant like long wing panels processing techniques, machining of large piece structural components and automatic riveting and assembling machines.
The “new” wing/skin is not anymore divided in three section spanwise, but it is a single piece Aluminium sheet up to 25m long with stringers riveted using automatic riveting machines (section were previously chemically milled ). Less wing section attachment points as well as Titanium instead of steel 30XGSA structure components, using above mentioned technologies helped to save weight although with the same structural elements, wing box with spars and ribs without using any CFRP materials in the structure. After all, the yellow strontium/zinc-chromate primer justify that the base material is a metal not a CFRP one.

Крыло разработано вновь с использованием с длинномерных панелей кессона. Ранее на Ил-76 на авиазаводе в г.Ташкент панели крыла изготавливались из 3 частей по длине и 4 частей по ширине. Для Ил-476 панели крыла изготавливаются цельными (по 25 метров) в длину и по 3-4 сегмента в ширину. Существенно изменилась и конструкция панелей крыла – ранее стрингеры обрабатывались заодно с панелью (из плиты), а сейчас они будут изготавливаться отдельно и клепаться с панелями. Теоретический контур крыла не менялся…. Первоначально изготовление крыла планировалось вести на ВАСО, но осенью 2009 г. принято решение вести производство крыльев на авиазаводе “Авиастар”. На первоначальном этапе это вызвало ряд проблем из-за отсутствия на заводе оборудования для автоматической клепки панелей стержневыми заклепками – поэтому на первом самолете 01-02 старжневые заклепки заменены универсальными (ист. – Авиационный форум).

Anyone noticed changes on the GTDE turbine starters doors on the T-50 first two prototypes? Seems, they are having some problems with that installation.
