Oceanboy is back and he switched sides :highly_amused:

Awesome video from the same guy. He has pretty cool video from MAKS 2013.

The weather at that moment makes for some pretty awesome sights.

Is the function of the leading edge L-Band Radar confirmed to be used for tracking or just for IFF.
Also I was wondering about the kind of material used for the LEVCON. Would it be radar transparent (because of the L-Band radar) or is it just like the rest of the wing.

Anybody attending the MAKS please upload here too 🙂

You mean S DUCKS 🙂

Pronounced “soddoogg” . 😉

But I remembered seeing that photo. just the design but not the actual picture… I think it was the design in the patent itself.
But did not saved it nor do I remember how it looked anymore.

Cheshire Cat. Like you said a few years ago. :eagerness:

:D:D

It is quite possible Sukhoi are going to use CNF infused resins in the composites on PAK-FA. Indeed, I would be surprised if at least some components were not made using these resins (+fibres).

I think those honey-comb composites were made of similar materials. Or at least from materials with similar properties.

I am interested in that fancy honeycomb composite. @2:10 . The CC says some carbon plastic composite, not sure what was the exact thing, Its in Russian.

Or do you mean composite wings like in the Airbus A350?

The good thing these days is that a bunch of NVIDIA Tesla K10 on a work station can easily beat the Super computers used during the F22 days. That too on the cheap ca. 5000 USD and less than a kW of Power. :D.
