Thanks for that information QuantumFX.

I was undecided whether to post this in this thread.
This was posted in the secretprojects website, and is a windtunnel model from the official TSAGI website.
Although there is nothing linking it to the Su-57 programme, it does share basic aerodynamic features.
Is that a single engine?
Thoughts?

Hard to tell wilhelm, with the twin air intakes it looks like a twin engined design, in keeping with the Su-57 itself.

Article says that they launched a project as late as 2014 to produce a composite “smart skin” with embedded fiber-optic circuits and so on, and that Sukhoi started prototyping a new wing in 2018. That says a lot, in my opinion. This aircraft is still far from finished.

I find it strange that Sukhoi have started prototyping a new wing this year, what was wrong with the old wing? :confused:

It beggars belief that these aircraft were not moved beforehand. Someone should bear responsibility for this.

My thoughts too St John, who ever was responsible for this should get either demoted or the sack when they find out the damage to the F-22’s.

In that case there is still time for Lockheed to protest. Watch this space.

Glad the prettyest won

You are not wrong there Sintra, I was supporting the Boeing design right from the first time I saw images of it in this forum.

The T-X contract could be announced as early as COB this Friday…

That is great news bring_it_on, I for one cannot wait for the result to be announced. :cool::eagerness:

Heads up at the Zhuhai International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition 2018, planned for 6-11 Nov’18. The new version of the Z-10 attack helicopter will be showed!

Will this new version carry the Milimetric Wave radar? Or is that for another future variant of the Z-10? :confused:
