Sukhoi T-50?

[fltworthy]

The image below is reportedly an artist's concept (released by Russian engine manufacturer Saturn) for the T-50 fighter now under development.

First flight is reportedly slated for 2009 . . . we'll just have to see.

This picture is hilarious. How do they expect this aircraft to fly with full-flying tailplanes, horizontal and vertical, with steps on either side of the pivot? The amount of turbulence this will cause whenever you apply rudder or elevator is crazy, especially the vertical tailplane.

Great paint scheme but and the low-vis ‘red’ stars are a nice touch. Comrade Mikoyan would appreciate it.

[jjsvipers]

it looks like an f-22 to me.

 

[Ares]

Its the russian response to the F-22 and JSF.

 

[windscorpion]

is this a real project or just the Russian equivalent of those old "F-19" designs?

 

[Ares]

Its a real project building on the experience gained with the su-47 berkut and the mig MFI (1.44).

for the internet challenged, replace h**p with http. Its a copywrite issue so I'm protecting Webs backside. :nono

The project itself is real, but the picture is most likely completely false.

 

[IMPEREC]

There is many assumptions what our plane of the fifth generation, but nobody knows what it will be.

Well, looks pretty sleek to me. Kindof resembles the f-22, only the engines don't look the same.

 

[Ares]

I believe there was a picture on the internet avialable of the actual prototype or test bed under construction or fully constucted

 

[Wale14]

thats gonna be a really interesting aircraft. i cant wait to see what the russians do to top the capabilites and skills of the f-22

 

[Ares]

this aircraft is also probably gonna be in response to the JSF as well (RIA Novosti).

 

[Raptor.22]

here are some pics i found of the possible design for the T-50. its like a combination of the f-22 (the intakes), f-15 (the dual thrusts), and the wings are kinda like the f-22's also.
