He is way close check at the end of vid on landing

 

When I say close, my thinkin is with testing a brand new fighter you sort of want to limit things that can potentially go wrong.

 

They were closer tham 100m thats for sure

Integrated canards, very interesting!

[SAM77]

RCS reduction ????

 

All they got to do is clean up the engine area and this thing is easily the hottest plane on the planet.

I can not see pictures?

Oh man this thing is gorgeous!

Nice pics!

I'm curious, why do Russian combat aircraft, even the most modern ones like this still rely heavily on drogue chutes upon landing?

 

Do their brakes overheat quickly or something?

 

Just straight answers please, no joking or sarcasms around ;)

Chute means can land on shorter airfield. Austere landing grounds seem to be a big part of former Soviet doctrine, and has carried through to today.

Icy airtrips...use shute or practice break dance with a combat jet loaded of fuel and ordnance. :)

I did not understand your question.

I did not understand your question.

For me, pictures are not visible in your post 1054.

 

UPDATE: I switched to Chrome browser and pictures are now visible.

Now, is it just me or are those exhausts angled a bit to the Left (#1ENG) and Right (#2ENG)????

 

If so, would that be to compensate for dissimitry of trust if one engine fails?

Would be quite smart.

[Fahhh]

It's not exactly a head-on shot. That's why they seem miss-aligned.

[mikoyan]

I read that mig-29 pilots use the parachute to slow down the airplane until 170Km/h -+ (the speed could be less I'm not sure) that way they reduce the load on the brakes and tires.

[GGTharos]

The chute is probably for short and/or slippery runways, otherwise you can just aerobrake to that speed on the ground.
