Sorry for a delayed answer. Ok, since you have posted the schematic from patent itself, I’ve merged it with Su-27 schematic from SK manual. Its as official/valid as it gets:

EDIT: Its also interesting to see T-50’s inlet area is curiously larger than Su-27s.

Are you sure the Pakfa windshield is that large? i believe the aircraft is even smaller.

Every plane is a disaster signature wise in AB, I don’t think anyone is denying that.

You should watch the video, at the frame in which the 22 is displaying that huge IR spot, the aircraft is not using AB.

“Actionjack” should watch the video as well.

You guys should understand that all that “supercruiser stealth” is a big fat myth, if you have a engine that has a 5000kgf output at dry, and other with a 5000kgf at AB, both engines will shine at the same bright in the IR specter at 5000kgf of thrust.

Actually, is probably the one at AB will shine less.

You are aware that the Il-102 is a tonne lighter, empty? Two tonnes higher MTOW. And has two tonnes more thrust.

So… seems the designer did a good job all around. How did you do?

I must say i believed the aircraft had a empty weight of 13Tm, so i’m right?

The t-50 bomb bays are very long relative with the AA-12, and wide enough to hold 3 missiles in each bay if the arragment is similar to the 22’s bay.

Anyway, these bays are meant to deal with larger payloads.

I’m actually somewhat surprised that the PAK FA isn’t replacing the MiG-31. I mean, with Mach 1.5-1.7 supercruise and plenty of gas, I would’ve expected that the T-50 can take over the MiG-31’s role. Unless the VVS is really interested in having a platform faster than the Mach 2.35 PAK FA.

Launching a missile from mach 3 make it a totally different beast than launching at mach 1.5.

I believe this is quite important for the russian territorial defence, the range that a missile can gain from a plataform like the Mig31 outmatch every 5th generation airplane, the height and speed are incomparable.

Would be awsome if russians could fit two very high bybass turbofans in such flying wing in such arragement.

I would love to see that think flying.

I believe the best configuration for a very small 5th gen fighter is the Mirage one, a delta wing, single engine, a V shape tail and a radar blocker, no canards, nothing more that would add more weight, topspeed, i think your configuration will fail in the real world (over weight, structural issues, aerodynamics, etc..)
