Vault Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 It's post by Acheron from AIRLINERS.NET military forums. Sounds like the T-50 mock up in this picture, either way I'm very sceptical of that post. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Shaman Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 You may might be right. I haven't even thought of this concept, but I know this art. However if you look at this concept, it might be close to what Sukhoi really worked on. It is not something OUT-OF-THE-BLUE or S-F like. Pretty much incorporates many known aerodynamic and stealth solutions. I wouldn't be surprised when PAK-FA happens to be close in its looks to this fictional concept art. 1 51PVO Founding member (DEC2007-) 100KIAP Founding member (DEC2018-) :: Shaman aka [100☭] Shamansky tail# 44 or 444 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 100KIAP Regiment Early Warning & Control officer

Agreed, I wouldn't be surprised at the thought of the PAK-FA being a delta, deltas have alot of benefits, good handling at high mach, ability to supercruise as well as a low wing loading.

Nate--IRL-- Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Dammit I WANT PICS! Who do Sukhoi think they are? Apple?! :) Nate 3 Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading
topol-m Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 If it's that one, I think Topol-M just got a new one for his collection :D No way man. It`s not going to be in the "Ugly as hell..." thread, at least I`m not going to put it there. :) This one is going to be beauuutiful :P [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

SuperKungFu Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 It seems to me...the general image of the T-50 PAK-FA might look very similar to this design. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Wilde Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 And another day of waiting... What's the reason? I heard there was snow in KnA today? How is that possible at some -20ºC?!
MBot Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 What I find interesting is that in those concept arts the nozzles are unshielded. Is there any particular reason why this doesn't seem to be a priority?

sniffer Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Yea and tommorow probably will be similar scenario. Weather is ruthless this year... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Alfa Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Yea and tommorow probably will be similar scenario. Weather is ruthless this year... Yeah it is and of course they are waiting for proper weather conditions for its first flight - but until that happens they could pull it out of the hanger and at least let the press take some photos. I don't know - I just think the secrecy(hype) is getting a little silly :) . JJ
Boberro Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I am sure US spy satellites and intelligence have PAK-FA photos already ;] Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
