Do you know who made this pic ? I am just wondering about the location of air intake nozzle. Since the aircraft has a swept forward wing, the best place to locate the inlet would be right under the wing (the wings divert airflow towards the aircraft).
Unless there are problems with vortices, I can't think of a reason why the air intake would be ahead of the wing root (as in the picture). It is a pretty long aircraft - I don't think the turbine-exhaust length is the reason the air intake got moved forwards.
i think its a fan boy image done on photoshop.

here comes a fresh news .................
Putin "saved" yet another plant: the creators of secret Russian fighter promised not to dismiss
At KnAAPO where secrecy created a Russian fifth generation fighter PAK FA, began reducing the workforce. Already released 80 people, it is possible that further optimization of the number - previously referred to the reduction of more than a thousand people.However, the negative glow of the factory management and workers able to pay visit to KnAAPO Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. The factory told about the agreement between Putin and the head of AKH "Sukhoi" Mikhail Pogosyanom, however, the document still has not been seen.In these circumstances, continuing the creation of a super secret PAK-FA, the first flight by the Prime Ivanov promises already this year.
The "Komsomolsk-on-Amur aviation production merge them. Gagarin (KnAAPO included in AKH" Dry "), the reduction started on 3 June, laid off about 80 people - told the factory trade union representative Paul Arslanova.But according to him, formally, by the time some people went to the factory yourself: "Knowing that the reductions can not be avoided, some employees chose to do so in advance by writing a statement on the resignations." In this promise, that skilled workers, including those who collect PAK FA, reduction did not affect - mostly retirees KnAAPO fired.Would have dismissed, is not yet known.
However, at the plant believe that large-scale reductions KnAAPO rescued May visit Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who showed the most secret development of Russia in recent years - the fifth generation multipurpose fighter PAK FA - to create it in the shops KnAAPO. It can be assumed that seen but not yet the finished product impressed the Premier, and he promised the company new orders.
"After the visit of Vladimir Putin, we were told that he and Mikhail Pogosyan (Chapter aviaholdinga" Dry ", approx.) signed some agreement guaranteeing boot KnAAPO new products. However, this document has still not been seen. But there is a shift to increased rates tariff level, for which we fought all the time. Zavodskaya administration has decided to meet the team and from September will be made to recalculate it, "- said Paul Arslanov.
But as the case with construction of the PAC FA - are still unknown. At KnAAPO flatly refused to discuss this topic - it had a subscription to withhold information containing state secrets. As the correspondent of "New Region" secret PAK FA is indeed strictly protected - for several years in the media do not trickled no one photo of this development, and its layout has never publicly demonstrated. Now the special variety of countries and simple avialyubiteli burned with curiosity, and the last cheat the interpretation of the look of the car. Judging by the majority of images, almost all artists compare with the Russian aircraft F-22 Raptor - features "American" guessed almost all the outline.
Meanwhile, based on statements by government officials who promise to fly PAK FA in 2009, it can be assumed that the center's secret airplane is almost ready. This gives hope that the statement by Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov term sailplane PAK FA will be able to really try. However, whether there are working engines and avionics - the big question. At the same time aware that the draft budget-2009 funding for the development of the PAC FA were going to cut to 938.1 million rubles.
