Sukhoi PAK-FA / FGFA: Updates,News & Discussions

[ptldM3]

It has been know for a little while but for those that are not aware, there will be two T-50-6 airframes.

T-50-6-1
T-50-6-2

One airframe is for static tests so likely some changes either internally or externally will be seen on the T-50-6. My personal guess and opinion is that most of it will be internal I also think that the aft nacelles will see some changes since the rear landing gear bays have no serrations while the rest of the aircraft bays have full serrations. To me this means that the rear landing gear bays which are blended into the nacelles have been temporary so far.

thats strange ..... Why not T-50-7 ???

Any ways can you summerise the changes per test vehicle ??? That would be great for people like me who arent regular PDF visiters.

may be not posted before eager to get some recent developments after tomorrow antony jnt meeting :
Indo-Russian military aviation projects on schedule: HAL executive

http://indrus.in/economics/2013/08/29/indo-russian_military_aviation_projects_on_schedule_hal_executive_28907.html

“The FGFA (fifth generation fighter aircraft) is on the right track and on schedule,” R. P. Chakraborty, Deputy General Manager (IMM) at HAL said on Wednesday.

When asked about the delays in the project, Chakraborty said they were on account of the design documentation in the contract, an issue that has already been resolved. The contract to develop a sketch and technical project of the fighter was completed in April 2013.

“A team of Indians is already in Russia and a Russian team is already in the design centre to go ahead with the work on the design,” Chakraborty said.

While emphasising that schedules are being met for the Multirole Transport Aircraft (MTA), a medium-lift military transport aircraft, Chakraborty said there is a greater urgency to develop the FGFA. “Both Russia and India need the FGFA…but in the case of MTA, it’s not the Russian government that requires it. We need it,” he said

sth abt su30mki also::

The Sukhoi Su-30 MKI, a heavy, all-weather, long-range fighter is being assembled under license by HAL. “140 of these aircrafts are being upgraded now,” Chakraborty said, adding the planes would have stronger radars, greater avionic sub-systems and an upgraded weapons system with an improvement in missile firing integration and firing.

There will be a T-50-7 and T-50-8. There hasn't been many changes externally other then the LERX being slightly redesigned and using different materials. Other then that the aircraft has had the internals strengthened/reinforced. Apart from that different sensors have been added or removed depending on which airframe.

There is no advantage of 5th generation, 6th or 7th generation fighter........ There is no chance of war, but even if war happens,,, These are just like garbage in nuclear war scenerio...
This is not 1971, 1965 or 1984....

But it would be a great platform for the third strike capability to carry nukes..wouldn't it?

So you need 5th,6th gen fighters for nuclear strike... Man, Are you joking? Yar Even ballistic missile is good for this job.
Plus You know,Even 3rd, 4th gen are capable for nuclear strike... They also have 3rd strike capablity........

A 5th Gen plane would do a much better job delivering nukes than a 4th Gen - don't you agree?

We will not allow you to create war with any country even 15,000 miles away...So still they are useless.
