Still no official ‘hint’ about what the PAK-FA would like?
To RSM55:
Any guess when we might see an official artist impression? Do we have to wait until sometime after the 1st flight or might the Russians give a hint before the thing flies?
Any guesses when the general public might get small hint?
Thanx in advance

Of course it is a great achievement, don’t get me wrong.
What I was referring to is quotes to earhtquakes or Olympics. Nothing to do here, and THAT is clearly propaganda…
As for the “civilian” part, I doubt much in China is actually “civilian”… but that’s another issue, and I won’t get into that.
hehe…
….frank why didn’t you just say so in that post…..:p
anyway…. apologeez from me…

Disappointing! No nice new sexy shots of the F-22 for along time…. In the past there were some absolutely stunning stuff.

A new 3-D TVN is still under development by ITP, it remains yet to be seen if any of the customers, maybe export customers will have a requirement for TVC. The new nozzle will be based on the current nozzle. New actuators are developed and the nozzle is not supposed to be entirely new. The goal weight and cost savings. The might be a good alternative in comparison to the more expensive and heavier old TVN, but it might also be less flexible. The old one couldn’t just be vectored it was also possible to adjust the diameter! Impressive were the slew rates with 110°/sec almost twice as fast as the much newer KLIVT nozzle.
If the MMRCA goes in favour of the EF we might just see EF with TVC (But tat a big IF^2). EF with upgraded EJ and along with TVC is one of those really cool and really scary ‘what-ifs’
What about the Saudi’s? They are buying 72 IIRC
