Sepheronx, it is a derivative of this:
It’s not. T-50 and other LO-pimped a/c here are using a family of ITAE-developed RAM.
You said much the same regarding my postulations on CNT/fullerene RAM for the T-50 – until it was officially confirmed years later.*

Lol, and where is confirmation here that CNT/fullerene RAM is used for T-50?
If you care not for the video above, then perhaps this link (page 2) will strongly hint at their chosen aluminium [composite] blade strengthening method. Obviously, the radar absorption ‘by-product’ is a highly desirable property in the case of the Type-30.
If you don’t know, for many years here Rosnano is a synonym for loud declarations, fancy powerpoints and, mainly, blowing the money.
Once more, you are making too far fetching conclusions from the wishful thinking of some and publications that have little connection to the actual subject.
Oh dear, so you link the NPO Saturn ppt that I myself introduced everyone to, but yet fail to realise how coy they are over materials. Can you read what they say about the materials in stages 1 & 2? Well here’s what the real materials in those stages are:
You link says that PAK FA engine HPC blades are made of TiAl – not mentioning that they are actually just of first two HPC stages as we know.
Jo, I’m just trying to tell you (as I did 3 years ago) that let’s say not all of the Northrop Grumman patents issued in last 5 years have direct relationship to B-21. As well not all of the patents and papers issued by VIAM, CIAM, ODK, Saturn, UMPO have ties to PI.
Not all that fancy videos produced by scabs from Rostech or Rosnano have impact on real life. Etc.
The Type-30’s 1st stage fan (of 3-stage LP compressor) is entirely constructed of an aluminium superalloy (a World first for a fighter engine), and BLISKed by linear friction welding (LFW):
For me at least, there are absolutely no doubts now that the ‘Type 30’s’ shroud and (at least) the 1st stage fan are made of (MWNT modified) PMCs, and dispel any ambiguities from Schmotin’s and Fyedorov’s statements to the press regarding PMCs ‘for the cold section’ (для холодной части). ALL HAIL THE STEALTH COMPRESSOR!!! (Bye-bye S-Duck, blocker,…yadaah yadaah).

Probably this?
Nope. This is one of mid-cycle iterations.

NASA classify 5th gen fighters as moderate low observable (MLO)
What NASA has to do with this? This is McDonnell Douglas study.
Lol. Northrop has asked GE to create F118 for reason. It’s not a coincidence that B-2 and U-2S share almost the same type. Engine choice was driven by compressor diameter, too.
Either the wording “Indian variant” is basically a discrete way of saying ‘Stage 2 prototypes’…or the differences between the Russian and Indian types is more fundamental than just ‘source code’.
“…as well as when developing the possibility of expanding the scope of PMC composites in existing products“
Looks more like fanboi art
Nothing more
Tech gremlins. He was advised to switch off windshield heating after report on cracks.
Bogdan surely would mention birdstrike to tower, which he did not, so let’s dismiss that theory at early stage.
Bird strike at 4500 m?:D It should be something big then, like duck, that wouldn’t cause such minor damage to windshield.
if it has sense on, say, F-16 – why it has not on J-20?
