I think the first flight is planned before the end of year, there were delays with subcontractors. Before the plan for the first flight was first half of 2016.
Bu how realistic is this ?
If they haven’t mated wings with the fuselage yet …
Left composite wing.
Thanks … any idea, when the wings will be mated and even more, when roll-out can be expected ?
Z-20 ….
yup. much more creidble than any one else. and his statement was backed years later by another airforce head.
….
That’s indeed the joke of the day … maybe even month ! :highly_amused:
Since when is the T50 said to be operational ? How often did a high-ranking Russian “official” tell us anything ???
I really do not want to say anything against the T50 but the amount of BS we’ve already heard over all the years from several official Russian sources is beyond anything to believe.
Three Y-20s at XAC …
Any news since this last post ???
High speed taxi test …
We know nothing at all about PakFa.
Nothing on empty weight, thrust or lift/drag.With that lack of transpherent insight the PakFa must be pretty horrible.
Surely … maybe even more horrible than the similar “secret” J-20 ! 😀
Oh YES … accepted; me too i have to sit down and read properly ! Sorry, … but otherwise he’s still wrong.
No twin engined plane has DSI. JF-17 and F-35 are single engined planes that have DSI.
Wrong in nearly every way ! … and by the way, DSI is not some sort of hyper-modern feature that makes everything else obsolete !
1. Yes, JF-17 and F-35 are single engined (the third would be the J-10B).
2. But the J-20 and J-31 / FC-31 are twin-engine fighters with DSI !!
3. overall Your posts make me think that even Your basic understands are quite limited …
So – sorry to say so – sit down again and do Your homework at first before posting such a BS.

….The real concept in a Russian vid.
PAK-TA will be in more conventional design… not that flying body stuff.
Could You please re-post (or even upload) that image here again ??? I see only a small black X in a box !
