Sukhoi PAK-FA / FGFA: Updates,News & Discussions

[ARCHON]

Those big spheres under wing reminds us that Chinese engineering capability has hit the limit and are no more capable of producing compact and powerful actuators for their stealth plane and compromising the whole purpose of it's existence.

the plane looks huge... doesnt even need radars... to spot it,,

some guy from mars saying stealthy.. lol..

I didnt understand anything in the last pages too much technical stufff....anyway its just 3rd prototype there is still a long way to go ...

su 27 prototype

final product

WTF ??? Are you sure about that ??? There's huge difference between the above two pictures.

 

[rockstarIN]

yes,,,it is true...there were weight problem with early prototypes.

COMPARISION OF SU 30 MKI AIR INTAKES & PAKFA AIR INTAKE

1) SU 30 MKI AIR INTAKE:

one can clearly see the entire circumferance of Engine compressor face & it has no radar blockers

2) PAKFA AIR INTAKE:

now see the pakfa air intake only 1/3rd of engine compressor face is visible

& one can see radar blockers

SO it's defintely clear that PAK FA air intake would reflect considerably less 1/3 rd of radar waves as reflected by SU 30 mki air
intake .

These pics are fakes and the T50 currently don't use radar blockers.

well not sure about the pics but r u sure that T50 dont use radar blockers

T50 so far uses just a version of the Su 35 engine and the main purpose is testing the aerodynamics, while with any futher step more systems will be added. Radar blockers will only be added with one of the last prototypes, when the fuselage and engines will be changed.

now how can u be so sure that radar blockers would be added to last prototypes or when new engines will be placed

are those camera or something under the wing and i dont think it is the final product of the plane

Its common sense. Why would you need to install the radar blockers when the engines they are designed for aren't even completed? The current prototypes are testing the aerodynamics of the plane. T-50-4 is rumored to have the radar and other sensors installed (maybe EODASki). Go back in this thread and you will see that this has been discussed in depth. Actually go to the PAKFA thread in the keypub forum you can find all the info you want there.

perhaps u r right Same thing applies for ram coating also as why would russia invest money on ram coating on prototype like J20 .But does SU 35 engine doesnt have radar blockers???
ofcourse key pub is more quality forum for all these infos .Thanks

well i cant say exactly it has radar blockers or not ,but is this PSed

PAK FA uses Item 117 IMO.. which is a direct evolution of Al-41.. while Item 117C/S is a derivative based on Al-31FN.
