According Paralay T-50 can carry only 4 missiles in belly bays, that's the penalty for having so flat fuselage.
Who made that?
New Recruit
FGFA and PakFa is just one and the same with some additional indian, israeli and french components. I mean earlier we thought FGFA will be twin seat now i doubt it because majority of 5th gen that IAF is inducting are single seater. May be we are mostly inducting PakFa and a couple squadron of FGFA. There's alot that is unclear here.hey guys idk its already posted or not but i recently found out that the russians are putting plasma stealth technology in su-47 and may be they put it in FGFA too.
T-50 did it in 21 months while it took 31 months for F-35.........looks like someone was keeping tabs on these figuresToday T-50 conducted it's 100th test flight.
Twenty-one months after first flight at Komsomolsk-on-Amur in Siberia, the Sukhoi T-50 PAK-FA fleet recorded its 100th flight on 3 November.
For perspective, the Lockheed Martin F-35 programme needed 31 months from the first take-off by the AA-1 test aircraft to pass the 100th flight mark.
In that 21-month period, the PAK-FA test fleet has already performed a private air show for Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and made its first official public appearance at the MAKS air show near Moscow. The latter event was marred by an engine blow-out on take-off.
Meanwhile, Russia has been busy on the export front. Rosoboronexport signed a deal with India to develop a new single- and twin-seat variant called FGFA. Sukhoi also offered the PAK-FA to South Korea for the F-XIII contract, but the Russia delegation curiously was absent at the Seoul Air Show last month.
The Russian Air Force has announced plans to receive the first production aircraft in 2013, and to introduce the PAK-FA into operational service two years later.
