More pics of 51 this time added here (scroll down) …i guess now it’s possible to scrutinize every inch of 51 and 52 for differences.:)

Btw it seems 51 has those stabilator strakes aswell.

On a more technical note , regarding the RVV-BD …specs on ktrv website show a weight of 510 kg, range ~200km, max g being 8 ( which i would say it’s pretty impressive for such a big missile).

Now from what i can find on the web ( quite scarce btw) the R-37 is heavier ( 600kg) and longer ranged ( max range ~300km?) , so can it be assumed that RVV-BD was “squeezed” to fit the PAK-FA bays ?

NVM, someone replied before me, and much more knowledgeable too. 😛

One question- is the radome shape defined by the boundary of the white line or is it that just the way that the radome has been painted ? The radiation symbol is drawn behind the white radome, so does that indicate that the radome is in front of that?

If so, any reason why its shape is different from regular radomes?

It’s just the way it’s painted, we don’t know the shape of the dielectric radome yet, if it’s going to be canted or jagged etc. ( probably it will appear on T-50-3). The two prototypes only have a metal radome.

Bort 52 😎

Thanks alot QuadroFX, goodies started to come out already .:eek:

Quick question. That RVV-SD( behind the big boy ), are they all suposed to have folding “potato mashers” or is that a specific version for T-50 (well most likely i guess) ?

Second , don’t supose it’s clear yet how many RVV-BD and RVV-SD the T-50 can carry internally, is it?

Oh and it seems both T-50s have airshow numbers ( 051 and 052).:rolleyes:

Now THESE are some well done pics, nice and clear, reasonable resolution … 🙂
