Russia's PAK-FA fighter shows promise

Russia's Sukhoi PAK-FA stealthy fifth-generation fighter is showing promise in its test-flight programme and will probably fly at Moscow's MAKS air show in August, says United Aircraft chief Mikhail Pogosyan.

"There is no aircraft in the world that doesn't undergo certain modifications based on the test [programme] results. The most successful only require minor modifications to support systems.

Our experience so far gives us confidence that we will avoid significant problems. The past year gives us sound grounds to say we are moving in the right direction.

"We're quite happy and pleased with the course of testing."

Two prototypes are now flying at the Gromov flight test centre at Zhukovsky, a suburb southeast of Moscow.

Russia has a requirement for 150 or more of the aircraft, which carries the internal Sukhoi designation of T-50, to enter service from 2015-16.

India plans to buy between 200 and 250 of a modified design under the designation Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft.

Pogosyan denies that New Delhi is simply providing funding for Russian designers to produce a modified aircraft for the Indian air force's requirements.

He says India is bringing its own engineering input to the joint variant, although he declines to detail New Delhi's contribution beyond saying it covers aspects of airframe design, software development and other systems.

Pogosyan points to previous co-operation between the two countries in which Indian engineers helped to develop the capabilities of the Sukhoi Su-30MKI in Indian service as evidence of India's engineering expertise.

So India is contributing much more than initially thought.

 

[OrionHunter]

This contract is the biggest defence programme in the country’s history — a $30-billion (Rs 1,35,000-crore) project involving the joint production of 200-250 fifth generation fighter aircraft (FGFA). The aircraft, being called the perspective multi-role fighter (PMF), will exploit the basic design of the Russian Sukhoi T-50 PAK-FA prototype, with modifications thrown in to meet the Indian Air Force’s “more stringent specifications”.

The modifications are:

> Two-seater version, leading in turn to fuselage modifications.

> Preferably Israeli/French avionics.

> A naval version with reinforced undercarriage.

> NATO-style data link etc.

Exaggerated comment, I don think India is contributing Anything at all, other than learning from Russian experience... Indian engineers have not yet have enough experience to match russians...

Its diplomatic comment, Indian Engineers are just gathering knowledge and giving input to russian designer like what hey want in FGFA...

This picture looks better for sure.

awesome news

 

[IND151]

i read on broadsword that pak fa will be integrated into satellite navigation system.

Russia has agreed to provide glonass signals to India. these will be used for fgfa.

Yep! In continuation of my last post...

- Indians want their two-seater version. Alas, fuselage modifications cost money. Indians pay for it, Russians do the fuselage adjustments.

- Indians want Israeli/French/whatever components integrated. Avionics integration costs money. Indians pay for it, Russians do the avionics modifications.

- Indians want a naval version. Reinforced undercarriage and hook cost money. Indians pay for it, Russians do the carrier-suitable modifications.

- Indians want to be able to work in a NATO-style datalink (for Red Flag, or whatever). Again, that costs money, Indians pay for and get their Link 16.



Cheers!

go india go ! its very good to see we will also have 5th gen aircraft one day !

 

[Mo12]

How can India use these 5th Gen Jet to its advantage as we will have it 4-5 years before Pakistan get its.

there deal is final or what ?when they will receive the air-crafts ?

Corporation "Tactical Missiles" is developing for future aviation complex tactical aircraft (PAK FA fighter of the fifth generation), the newest weapon system, "Interfax-AVN," CEO Boris Obnosov.

"Today, all the complexes, which are set out in the tactical-technical task for the PAK FA, are in various stages of refinement. For a gun entered the state tests, somewhere we even completed the state tests and are currently working on perfecting and preparing the first production batches," - said B. Obnosov Air Show at Le Bourget.

He noted that the program to create weapons consistent with the work by myself fighter. "Just as work on the PAK FA, create weapons for him is divided into two phases - first phase to 2014 and the second - from 2015," - said the CEO.

He explained that each stage involves the further development of weapons systems. For example, to launch "air-air" is - gradual increase in range, improved accuracy, the improvement of all those characteristics that determine the effectiveness of weapons.

"All areas will be improved, as it is written in the complex target program of aircraft weapons," - said the CEO.

B. Obnosov reported that regularly hosts meetings where the developer of a fighter - the company "Dry" and the developers of weapon systems and compare their current long-term policy. "The problem is: when the PAK FA will go into a series for him to be ready weapon," - said the CEO.

According to him, these processes are synchronized. We can not allow a fighter was not ready weapons for development which requires 2-3 years.

The first flight of the PAK FA was held on 29 January 2010 in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Compared with previous generations of fighter PAK-FA has several unique features, combining the functions of an attack aircraft and fighter. Fifth-generation aircraft is equipped with brand new avionics, which integrates the function of "e-pilot" and promising radar with a phased antenna array. This greatly reduces the load on the pilot and allows you to concentrate on the implementation of tactical tasks.

On-board equipment of the new aircraft can exchange data in real time as a land-based control systems, and within the aviation group. The use of composite materials and innovative technology, aerodynamic design aircraft, measures to reduce the visibility of the engine provides unprecedented low level of radar, optical and infrared signature. This can significantly increase the combat effectiveness in both air and ground targets at any time of day, and adverse weather conditions.

In the inner compartment can be located as a fighter missiles air-to-air and air-to-surface. In a class "air - air" is a big rocket and short-range and medium-range missile development Design Bureau "Vympel".

In air-to-surface in the inner compartment can be placed anti-ship missiles, rockets modular general-purpose bombs and guided the caliber of 250 kg. In addition, the aircraft can carry guided missiles and bombs of various caliber destination up to 1,500 kg on external sling.

All managed air attack, planned to equip the aircraft, developed by the corporation "Tactical Missiles."
