Are you seriously going to claim "composites" for every metallic part on the T-50/Pak-Fa?
No I actually claimed the opposite when I spoke about the rear compressor blades and nozzles of the F-22, you are just too foolish to comprehend it.
At PtldM3, you are the first person anywhere to claim a "composite" pod for the T-50/Pak-Fa engines. To everyone, the T-50/Pak-Fa engine pod looks exactly like the metallic engine pods on the Su-30.
I was talking about in side the intake
walls. But knowing you, you cant help but to trip over the simplest of sentences.
Anyway, I want to move on. Are you also going to claim "composite" on the metal-framed T-50/Pak-Fa cockpit canopy? If you do, I will post an earlier picture of the T-50/Pak-Fa that clearly shows the metal rivets.
What do you think rivets are made of plastic or carbon fiber? Even if we assume that the pak-fa does have a metal frame, than so what? As I have proven metal makes little difference since compressors and nozzles of the F-22 are metal. Furthermore, that strip of so called metal is painted, so there is no metal. I can also see that you are clueless to the fact that certain alloys are referred to as composites.
Also, what about the single-crystal engine fan blades for the T-50/Pak-Fa. There is no S-duct to shield the T-50/Pak-Fa engine fan blades. Are you going to claim "composite" material for the single-crystal T-50/Pak-Fa engine fan blades?
Perhaps you did not understand or read what I wrote, so let me repeat it again since you seem to have difficulties. The pak-fas compressor are either coated with a ceramic or are made up of a ceramic. I provided a video with English subtitles with an engineer holding a small ceramic compressor blade, if that is not enough to convince you than you are clearly playing stupid.
You do realize only a single-crystal fan blade can withstand the unbelievable rpms of a modern jet fighter. It is ludicrous to suggest current technology can produce a "composite" engine fan blade. You better provide a reputable citation for support if you want to make this ridiculous claim.
Busted, engines up to recently have not used crystal blade technology, some of which produced incredible trust figures, some up to
55,000lbs of it. And its pretty standard to use a kind of
thermal coating on engine blades. And there is no citations available, the technology is new and engineers arent sharing details. But if you want to believe that one of the chief engineers involved in the pak-fas engine program is blatantly lying on cammera than you are welcomed to believe so, than again you are in no position to demand reputable citations when you use
Indian bloggers as a source. A chief engineer in a video interview is as reputable as it gets.
Anyways let me further, make a fool of you. Ceramic coating on compressors are not a new idea, the technology has been around, the pak-fa is to use the most modern type of ceramic to reduce heat and improve engine life. Do a simple weki search on turbine blades and you will see.
By the way, I demand you provide a reputable citation to back up your claim of a "composite" engine pod for the T-50/Pak-Fa. All of the articles on the T-50/Pak-Fa that I have read mostly talk about composite materials being used for the wings or fuselage, not the engine pod. Time to prove your b.s. claim or retract it.
The inside of the engine tunnels have no rivets, the only ways this is possible is if the intake tunnel is made up of a one piece resin based composite. In fact it is almost impossible for the tunnel to be anything else without rivets. It is not possible for it to be stamped unless they welded two halves and if that were the case you would see weld marks, even more importantly you would see rivets.
Finally, do you think anyone is stupid enough to believe your claim of "composite" for all of the obvious exposed metal parts on the T-50/Pak-Fa? Also, what is stopping you from invoking the same magical word "composite" to instantly transform the non-stealthy Su-30 fighter into a fifth-generation fighter with the mention of the singular word "composite"?
You are, since you overuse the word composite. I only mentioned it for the inside of the intake tunnel walls, although it is no secret that 70% of the pak-fa will eventually be composite based. Its also blatantly obvious that you are not aware of alloy composites.
At PtldM3, I'm trying to get you to answer a simple question.
Do the exposed metal engine pods on the T-50/Pak-Fa reflect radar like the exposed metal engine pods on the Su-30?
Its not as simple as that, firstly the compressors are not metal, either are the inner intake walls. Secondly, we are yet to see what the intakes of the production model are to look like. Thirdly based on the F-22 and its exposed compressors as well as the experience with the YF-23 we can conclude that whatever returns an engine creates is minimal. Otherwise the F-22 would simply got missile lock during DACT training.
How did non-stealthy Su-30 features become magically stealthy on a T-50/Pak-Fa?
How did none stealthy J-10 features or Rafale features magically become stealth on the J-20? Better yet how does the WZ-10 with exposed rivets, numerous protrusions, FLIR, pylons, humps/bumps, fixed landing gear, multiple piece canopy and no sawtoothing classify as stealthy? Remember, you claimed that many of those features are none stealthy so how does the WZ-10 magically become stealthy?
Everyone knows that metal reflects radar. According to you PtldM3, why are you claiming the exposed metal engine pods on the T-50/Pak-Fa don't reflect radar? If it does, the T-50/Pak-Fa is not stealthy. If it doesn't, why are you allowed to rewrite the laws of physics?[/COLOR]
If that was true than the F-22 wouldnt have a 144:0 kill ratio. Remember, its nozzles and engine are made up of metal alloys. So explain to everyone how the aircraft such as F-15 fail to achieve a lock onto the F-22? Remember we are talking metal.
