HAL Reveals Model Of Indian FGFA

[1nd1a]

In the latest from the Indo-Russian fifth generation fighter aircraft (FGFA) programme, HAL has revealed this 1:15.5 scale model of a modified single-seater, based on the Sukhoi T-50 PAK FA that's currently in flight test. HAL's Aircraft Research & Development Centre (ARDC) has created the flow-through model with 80 components "including the dedicated pieces for simulating the deflections of the 12 flight control surfaces of the aircraft", according to recent HAL literature.

The platform is designated 'Perspective Multirole Fighter (PMF)' in India. After the 2010 contract for design of the modified joint aircraft, the government had said, "PMF draws upon the basic structural and system design of the Russian FGFA Technology Demonstrator with modifications to meet IAF specifications which are much more stringent. The broad scope of bilateral cooperation during the joint project covers the design & development of the PMF, its productionization and joint marketing to the third countries. Programme options include the design & development of a twin seater variant and the integration of an advanced engine with higher thrust at a later stage."

More information on the PMF/FGFA cooperation in this Sukhoi release from 2011.

All their production goes to paint the J20 canards ...........

It's fun to see their hope vanishes after all the excitements and delusions about their "manned moon mission".

We'll see how this one goes

may be it'll look like this..

@chinese trollers..

Russia already tested T-50 several times.our version will be customized of that aircraft.you guys should better worry about your J-20 about which,only few pics are available in internet.no info,but highly speculative description.

 

[Mirza Jatt]

Need the pics...

 

[帅的一匹]

may be it'll look like this..

Looks like a copy ofj31

 

[Viper0011.]

Of course!!! As expected, it's a copy of T-50, which stems from SU-30 itself. The tech, airframe will be bought from Russia + some Israeli avionics and American engines (If Kaveri isn't ready by then). All these will be put together in India with some Indian made parts by the DRDO (Develop, Redevelop and Dream Organization)

 

[GR!FF!N]

Looks like a copy ofj31

j-31??? you just saw a 2-d pic and found a match???you must be a supercomputer or something..by the way,your J-31 itself looks like a mixed breed of F-22 and F-35..
