Lapel pins handed out at the just concluded MAKS-2009 air show at Zhukovsky had this aft cross-section of the Sukhoi T-50, the Indo-Russian fifth generation fighter aircraft (FGFA, by Indian designation). RussiaToday quotes Sukhoi official as saying that the lapel pin is a cheap Chinese fake ("wait till they reverse engineer the PAK-FA, my friend!"), though other Russian officials apparently said this was an authentic depiction of the prototype and wind tunnel model. Since we've constantly been treated only to fantasy impressions and imaginary depictions, here's something that's out from Sukhoi itself.

Here are a few new pics of PAK-FA I got from another forum (militaryphotos.net). In all likelyhood, the aircraft may resemble the designs shown below. Its a possibility. And oh, these pics, originally are from Paralay.

Russia Air Force admits problems in 5th-generation jet engines

ZHUKOVSKY, August 20 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's Air Force chief acknowledged on Thursday faults in engines for a fifth-generation fighter jet currently being developed.

The Advanced Front-Line Aviation Complex (PAK FA) plane is set to replace the Air Force's fourth-generation fighters, namely, the Su-27 Flanker and the MiG-29 Fulcrum.

Speaking at the MAKS air show outside Moscow, Alexander Zelin said: "For the time being the aircraft will use Saturn engines. There are problems, I admit, but research is continuing."

Indian participation in FGFA to be formalized

India will supply composite-material parts of the airframe, avionics and software packages for the Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA).

August 19, 2009, (Sawf News) - India will supply composite-material parts of the airframe, avionics and software packages for the Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA).

Speaking to the press at MAKS 2009 on Wednesday, August 20, 2009, HAL Chairman V. Balakrishnan said a formal pact on the development of FGFA will be signed later this year.

The FGFA is being developed by Sukhoi, which is part of Russia's United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), and India's Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), under an intergovernmental agreement signed in October 2007.

Russia and India will simultaneously develop two versions of the combat aircraft - a two-seat version to meet the requirements of India's air superiority policy, and a single-seat version for the Russian Air Force.

Sukhoi has already started construction of three prototypes at the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Production Association (KNAAPO) in Russia's Far East.

Flight tests of the fighter could begin in the winter of 2009, and the aircraft may go into production in Russian and India by 2015.

The fighter, estimated to be in the 30t category, is expected to feature super maneuverability, super cruise and stealth with an internal weapon bay. It is also expected to feature an advanced variant of the Tikhomirov Instrument Engineering Research Institute developed N035 Irbis-E radar that equips the Su-35BM.

The FGFA will be inducted into IAF by 2017.
