I think that would mean more conventional (and less Stealthy) shape.
Frankly, I would be surprised if Russia has the capability of designing something as stealthy as a Raptor even decades behind. I expect the PAKFA to be much inferior in stealth shapewise, as well as IR (considering how the F-22 cools its exhaust)…
…somewhere between and EF and a Raptor but less than the later.
You mean like a MiG 1.44………please :rolleyes:
g_o_v, have you heard of something called ‘Moore’s Law’?
It may not match or better the F-22’s RCS figures, but it will those of the F-35- I have no doubts.

On the 21st Jan. @ Zhukovskii, the first flight of the flying lab Su-27M (b/n 710- see QuadroFX’s pics above re:’117′) with engines developed by NPO Saturn for the 5th Gen. fighter, took place. The flight lasted 45 minutes and went without any glitches.

Note they ‘forgot’ to mention it’s an interim solution. It has “a brand new automatic control system” apparently.
