Interesting .... Looks like the tail design got modification .
T-50 engines (mass?) production starts in Ufa, Bashkiria
New G-suit gives PAK-FA higher operational ceiling than the Raptor?
Russian Sukhoi T-50 PAK-FA pilots will be equipped with a new g-suit that will allow them to eject from the aircraft at altitudes of 75,000ft (23,000m). If the PAK-FA is able to fly at those altitudes operationally, that would mean that it has a significantly higher operational ceiling than the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor
...Golden skies
The PAK-FA pilot is going to be surrounded by gold at all times as NPP Technologia enterprise in Russia’s Obninsk has developed a gold coating for the cockpit which reduces radar’s ability to detect the equipment by 250 times. The coating also protects pilot from high-energy radar pulses and solar radiation.
The coating consists not only of gold, but a combination of various metals, including stanum and indium, applied on the cockpit with a specially developed magnetron installation...
Not only that it is going to have even faster speed also
& indirectly
having higher operational ceiling & faster speed would help in increasing the kinematic range of BVRAAM fired by Pakfa
PAKFA can do Mach 1.5 supercruise , f22 does mach 1.82. PAKFA ceiling operational 20000m F22 19812m, Max ceiling Pakfa according to report 22400m f22 22700m
PakFA is a prototype with an underpowered engine...
I DON'T TRUST RUSSIAN NONSENSE. OH WE'LL MAKE NUCLEAR POWERED DESTROYERS BY 2015.... Not even hull is ready. They are just refirbuishing 30 yr old Kirovs. USA had this in SR 71 which flies at 80000ft. F-22 can perform tactical maneuvers at 60000 - 70000ft doing a reverse immelmann turn.
The museum's single-seat F15A, nicknamed "Streak Eagle," broke eight time-to-climb world records between Jan. 16 and Feb. 1, 1975. In setting the last of the eight records, it reached an altitude of 98,425 feet just 3 minutes, 27.8 seconds from brake release at takeoff and "coasted" to nearly 103,000 feet before descending. It was flown in its natural metal finish to reduce weight for the record-setting flights. To protect it from corrosion, McDonnell Douglas Corp. has since painted it in the gray color scheme of most operational F-15s.
