3 weeks if not BOHICA
and even more good news for PAK FA on the way…stay tuned
and one surprise (no, not that one yet, sorry)
So 601 is confident to transport that air frame over such a long distance without worrying about compromised structure strength and causing metal fatigue in the transportation, for the purpose of an alleged “STRESS TEST”. And that will explain why they don’t torn it apart and ship it in pieces.
you can safely drop #1 out of the list. literally hundreds of aircrafts were transported disassembled across the countries worldwide for stress tests without any worries. For example, T-50-0 make it’s way to Moscow Sukhoi facility from Far East inside An-124 and then on wheeled platform in several large pieces.
Synopsis:
Added: Feb 08, 2011 2:05 pm
The Air Armament Center, Advanced Programs Division, Advanced Projects Branch, Eglin AFB, FL 32542, intends to award a sole source contract to Boeing Inc. for aircraft/interface data in support of the Triple Target Terminator (T3) demonstration. This effort will provide potential T3 contractors: Boeing Defense, Space and Security Weapons; and Raytheon Missile Systems with aircraft integration expertise and data which will facilitate design, development, test, qualification, and safety certification for a flight test demonstration on the F-15C or F-15E aircraft. Information gathered by T3 contractors will be used to develop and evaluate missile configurations that could provide required system performance and satisfy compatibility with the F-15 C F-15E weapons stations.
This effort will be conducted in three phases. For Phase I, Boeing, Inc. will conduct a feasibility study which examines options, analyzes iterative airframe configurations, performs high level impact assessments and defines and/or estimates tasks for Phase II. Under Phase II, Boeing, Inc. will perform detailed Air System impact assessments, identify risks, recommend mitigations, and develop initial planning and estimates for Phase III. Phase III will require Boeing, Inc to implement full-scale integration and certification of the T3 for launch from the F-15C or F-15E aircraft.
The bays have no trapeze launch racks or anything like that?
they *had* to have UVKU-50/50L to carry missile mockups at least (what we see at photo). and yes – no missile launches were ever made
maybe at the next MAKS?

unlikely…K-77-1 and K-37M are all we’ll see at the nearest future
Mostly female workforce…
because they are the most accurate … at certain areas
it’s thinner at hexagon opening area as there’s no honeycomb insert there
I’d say it’s about an inch thick where honeycomb are
T-50 top fuselage composite panel quality check at ONPO “Tekhnologiya”
so, if J-20 was a ‘black stockings’, this will be a ‘fishnet bodystockings’?
Funny, I heard that from a guy working on Zhukovski LII, you both aviation armchair experts never worked in the industry
oh? did I ever state that I’m working in industry?
, when the job and money is leaving the country you make fun from that
it’s seems to be reaction on Boeing and Embraer work share graphics, yes?
or you think that cancelling SSJ will bring jobs and work to Russian industry?
and also comparing “poor” Sukhoi with Boeing large portfolio(or Embraer for instance, just check you both dumbasses who owns the company :rolleyes: ) doesnt help you much when considering they built more than 10000 commercial airplanes.
once more – do you offer to calm down as Boeing and Embraer sales number are way higher that SSJ’s and import jets from abroad? or what?
‘dumbass’ is a a new way of discussion argument as I see
feel nervous?
