this is Paralay’s own PS. while conformal weapon bay design looks close to proposed one (overdue with its size of course here – there’s just no enough place between nacelles to put anything in pairs there), pilots would not quite like such ‘nice looking’ intake design – especially on intensive slideslope maneuvers:)

Ken – I’ve talked to Ildar and currently chances are _low_.
Vol.2 is way bigger than Vol.1, and needs enormous efforts and money to be translated. More than subtle success with sales of English version of Vol.1 put this project on hold.

I love that angle. A high res background would be sweet.

if you want, you can send something like Canon EF 600mm f/4.0 L IS USM to Yura – I have address:D

has 50-1 resumed test flights?(AFAIK it isnt flying)

still not yet

is this T-50 or Su-30 topic?

PS 50-2 is in the air right now

inlets ramps more sophesticated for better airflows control at high M numbers and maybes low speeds AoA.

without going into details, I’d say that T-50 movable ramp inlet is even more advanced design than those on F-14 and F-15
aerodynamics wasn’t standing at one place for last 20-30 years

so what do you think is in that unclassisfied diagram then? shock cone?

DSI won’t have use of ‘BLC doors’ labelled on drawing above, you know
so perforated shock cone, yes

Hmm, it has been known for a fact for quite some time to be honest.

kinda for 2+ years, yep)

Report in Russian Defence Policy web site said Pak-Fa-4 was targeted to fly in summer 2012. Delay in radar and electronics.
