    Has anyone seen these pictures? They are from August 09 showing the ski jump built on land.

    Can anyone tell the aircraft type?

    Yes … actually this is the J-11B prototype no. 524, which was reportedly used for these tests in preparation of the J-15 !

    I think he means “much better” in the sense of “much more realistic” !

    And if one takes the experiences with F-22 and now the F-35 + the latest record in holding a schedule for Russian fighters … 2013 or even 2015 is completely unrealistic for reaching operational status.

    Just found this in a tread about IAPR at ARC:

    http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=202855

    see post 8 by “STORM” …

    I spoke directly with a rep at AirTime publishing a few weeks ago. Their distributor went bankrupt in early 2009 and they were trying to get back money/property. This left them unable to deliver to Barnes & Noble, Borders, etc. Additionally they had to hold back on releasing IAPR #26 (which was late), and again with #27 (yet to be released). They hope to resume shortly is what he told me.

    🙁 Deino 🙁

    swerve, as per this article, MTOW of Tejas is 13 tons. Lesser MTOW and greater engine thrust give Tejas Mk.1 a higher T/W ratio than Gripen C/D.

    HAve You seen the date of that article (17 July 2008 … even if a very interesting one !) …. I don’t know if it is still valid.

    I just tried – after a bit in several other forums + my own thoughts – a first summary of details (some are already mentioned here):

    1. The cockpit-canopy reminds my very much (like the T-50 at all) of the YF-23 -but there seems to be a strange middle frame..

    2. IMO for a Russian bird a very large wide-hangle (holo) HUD.

    3. What are these strange strakes or fairings on the wing’s roots ?

    4. The front part of the LERX seems moovable ??!!

    5. The overall fuselage – esp. the inner section between the engines – is very wide and IMO we can see to weapons bays.

    6. Again in typical Sukhoi or Flanker fashion there’s one gun on the right side of the T-50 (some say it is now officially the Su-50) ??

    7. … and it has an all-moving vertical tail

    What do You think ???

    nice sideview!!!!

    YES … a beatiful bird and very much more similar to the YF-23 than the Raptor !

    You can also clearly see the all-moving tails.
