topcoat for IR supression

another prototype model apparently shown to Medvedev

this is in-house TsAGI DMS-LK study for long-haul BWB airliner under ‘Airplane-2020’ program.
has nothing to do with PAK DA

mix of old/new projects and internet speculations with real projects that has no connection to PAK DA you put here obviously creates an information white noise that will make my security dept smile like fat cats

Did it look like Moskalyov’s DSB-LK?

No.

it’s official, ca. 92-93
one of many Yak-41 development studies, preceeding Article 201 aka Yak-43. last one is still classified.

Yes, he just flew two years in future- from 2003 to 2005, and saw the movie. Those guys at LMSW are not your ordinary artists, you know.

It’s well known fact that Talon design was inspired by patented NG concept that some call Switchblade, and NG was consulting movie prop team.

That photo looking into the Pak-Fa inlet which had people screaming “No S-Ducts” ?

Darn, no. It was isometric technical drawing.

Jo, you are making too far protruding assumptions from a couple of words in interview and patents. Cold section consists of, say, vanes, too…using MS-21 tech in Izd.30 doesn’t obligatory means PMC blades for its compressor, and some patent issued to Minpromtorg absolutely doesn’t mean practical implication. Talks of 2D nozzle or variable cycle for Stage 2 engine that I see in interviews of Saturn executives may be just wishful thinking at the end.

Those partially exposed crescent shaped inlets when seen from the front. You posted in secretprojects around 2011.

Blockers are just not shown here. Everything that retracts back from blades, is entrapped by blocker backyard and RAM-covered duct walls. Moreover, compressor blades, engine nose cone are covered with RPM too, because they have characteristic greyish color on ‘live’ 117 photos.
