Anything new?
not at all
Well, they also somewhat bite Pogosyan that had promised 50-2 to be in the air till the end of 2010. From the other hand, it made information space free for J-20:) Those who involved in test program will chuckle at least once while reading article.
Is [I]’the J-20 has a very close affinity with MiG’s losing PAK-FA’
logically, E-721 offered by MiG as T-50 rival design, would gain much from 1.42 experience – for example, habit to loose…
hello, what’s a Su-50?
kinda Zvezda thinks that Su-50 = T-50 writing that on Sukhoi licensed model kit
we yet to see
But what about the hexagonal panels on T-50-1’s nose?
they are not what you think
what you think will be in other place
it shouldn’t be THAT big – you can check what the size were planned side-mounted arrays on Raptor – two tiny diamond-shaped units
YF-22, YF-23, X-35 and X-32 was slow in serial production, too!:D
and some will never reach IOC
Shouldn’t that be done long before that?
May be should if it would be USPTO. But it’s Russia:)
I hardly believe that exactly this will go to PAK FA
But as we’ve noted before, those leading edge devices are not radars, so that leaves a possible of three radar sets.
4. Four. Vier.
We’ve been through this three times now in this thread alone, there are no five radars!
I see that you already know how EMD PAK FA avionics suite will look like.
Knowing something that Mr. Davidenko and Mr. Beliy are not finally defined yet makes you Swami of the month.
initial Lockheed JAST concept (something from iterations 121-140) ca.1993-1994
adding second engine would cause some coincidences…
It was the first opportunity
not first one AFAIK
we had knowledge or even probes of RAMs planned for Senior Ice as early as mid 80s. there were some leaks at Pico Rivera
not sure for Senior Trend
Nighthawk is aluminium bird covered with stone age technology heavy weather-sensitive crisp RAM – may be more advanced variant then in her early years but still unrelevant to today standarts. May be RAS was of interest for technical intelligence. It would grab anything if it can reach it easily whatever it should be.
BTW, rumors are that those big scary 2D nozzles tested way back on T-10 flying lab were for somewhat bigger than T-10 family…;)
Speculative renditions based on 2008 patent design
Please note that fact that patent is not classified, means that it probably one of the dismissed iterations. For example, T-50 blocker patent was filed long ago, had successfuly passed expertise…and never appeared in open sources. Some say nozzle is pretty old stuff designed back then for Izd.20 (AL-41F)
