I wonder what plane that could be Acatomic? You have got me interested and excited. 😎

It’s Okhotnik-B.

I’m inclined to believe that the reason for Izd.30 long development lies in the high requirements made for Okhotnik-B.

Let me add something from that article (using GT):

“Compared with the fourth generation of engines in the fifth added the ability to cruise supersonic motion – for that engine must have a variable bypass ratio. This requirement added another parameter specific – specific fuel consumption at cruising supersonic speed. Also, the engine should be significantly less visible in the infrared and radio wave range. This is achieved by a special design of the nozzle and the inlet. A major aspect of the new engine is also a reduction in the cost of the machine life cycle – lower maintenance costs, longer TBO “, – said the new power plants Marchukov

Flat nozzle IS being developed but it’s not for Su-57 – it’s developed for another airplane 😉

The maximum take-off weight is 20 tons, the engine is probably from the Su-35S without the afterburner. Weapons ~5000 kg

Thanks paralay.

There are several reports of a supersonic UAV being developed and I wonder are they talking about Okhotnik-B or some other UAV?

Would the aerodynamic layout and engine power even allow for supersonic speed of Okhotnik-B?

We already know in part how it will look, posted in this very thread. That is not complete phase 2 however, it seems. (as apparently sidebays will change too)

By how much?

A small correction:1500+km

My understanding of that “+” is that 1500km distance is at max. speed and that it can increase if you fly at slower supersonic speed (of course at optimal altitude).

Bla bla bla, yawn. 🙂

Here is a new video about T-50 with footage from Akhtubinsk (!!!);

My understanding of Russian is poor but @10:10 did he say that Su-35S can take off from 100m of runway?

It is extremely likely that test stand was there even before T-50-1 flew for first time. Secondly, from outside it is just a mock up. Considering the real windshield looks more refined and the probable age of this test stand; imho the cad one is an earlier version. And it resembles the early “leaked” versions:

I agree with you. I just put it as a interesting tidbit.

On a similar note, at Aero India 2015, there was a PMF model (Indian Pak-Fa) with a slightly redesigned OLS housing:

Some stuff from Korotchenko:

Again it might mean something or it might mean nothing 🙂

@ Berkut

I don’t know, if you look at CAD there’s a bend in the lower part of the frame of the canopy. Since this is CAD image it could just be a initial version of the canopy which later got discarded.

Also, is there anything else in that link that didn’t get mentioned?

Thanks nice find.

x2 :applause:

I giggled at the S-37 and S-duct mention.

Aerosol system to lower IR emmision? Do you think that might actually find service?

Maybe they use fuel as a aerosol? It would be great if that’s the case, because they could use the system as retrofit on “older” airplanes like Su-35S and Mig-35.
