quote: The Novosibirsk Chkalov Aviation Production Association (NAPO) has begun construction of the fifth generation multirole fighter. This work is being performed at Komsomol’sk-on-Amur together with the aircraft plant at Komsomol’sk-on-Amur, the enterprise’s general director, Fedor Zhdanov, reported today during a visit to NAPO by Novosibirsk Oblast’ governor Viktor Tolokonskiy.

“Final assembly will take place at Komsomol’sk-on-Amur, and we will be carrying out assembly of the fore body of this airplane,” Zhdanov specified. The fifth generation fighter which will replace the MiG-29 and Su-27 airplanes of the previous generation, was developed by the Sukhoy design bureau.



Found this on Wikipedia. I didn't find a direct siting for the information, but it seems to coincide with the type of things Sukhoi would be using to complete the aircraft. The assembly has begun, always a good sign for an aircraft

"Manufacturing" implies it is already in mass production stage... so my question is, when did they do the test flight??

Also, wiki isn't a very reliable source due to the fact people can simply edit it themself. We will have to wait and see until this got verified and hit the defensetalk.com news section.

The final consolidation of the UABC hasn't even begun much less have the final plans been developed for the protoype. They're still trying to perfect their plasma cloaking device... :rolleyes:

let's not enough mention this, when is the much talked about su-35bm coming into play? I'm not going to be putting much hope in PAK-FA until it has a couple of flying prototypes.
