Berkut Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Dial "M" for MiG? No, as someone suggested on a another forum, M for Mikhail Pogosyan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richter111 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I wonder if stabilizer problems will rear their heads down the road? AKA F-100 It seems pretty small, not an engineer, but during extreme angles, I wonder if they will have full control authority. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GreyGhost Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I wonder if stabilizer problems will rear their heads down the road? AKA F-100It seems pretty small, not an engineer, but during extreme angles, I wonder if they will have full control authority. Well, the PAK-FA does also have the Full 3D TVN ... So,I imagine that can also help greatly in the extreme ends of the flight envelope ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 It seems pretty small, not an engineer, but during extreme angles, I wonder if they will have full control authority. I am quite sure that is you calculate the size of the stabs, they will be bigger (much bigger) that the actually turning area on Su-27, F-16 or any other fighter. (speaking of just tail sections) The stabs are as small as they are because of stealth. Compare Su-27 and F-22 in the sideview with PAK-FA. However, i wonder how the stabs interact with the rest of the controllable surfaces. YF-23 (yes, i use it as example *again*. Sorry) for instance had a cool scheme. I am not thinking especially about Pelikan tail, but in general how the surfaces interacted with each other. To add to the complexity, PAK-FA has full 3D TVC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) Second flight from LII was yesterday. http://russianplanes.net/ID20263 PS: Notice there is something odd below the canopy, not sure what it is. Edited May 14, 2010 by Berkut Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flankerman Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I noticed that too......It looks like a RWR antenna. Ken Doh !! :o We've just realised (on another forum) - that it is the cannon muzzle. It just looks more prominent on the painted airframe than it did on the primer-coated one. Panic over..... ;) Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Yeah, realized it as well. :D Although it is maybe some cover, since to me the muzzle seems same style as on MiG-29, Su-27, F-16 etc. Basically a hole through the frame, and the muzzle itself is hidden. So that is maybe a cover for the cannon muzzle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parche Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 What a beautiful plane. I love her lines and can't wait to get a chance to build one. Can't say I am a fan of the camo scheme, but I really dug the look of the primer on the first flight. Cheers, Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Amazing video! Checkout the lerx canards. So awesome. Also, when Bogdan (the test pilot) walked around the aircraft touching it reminded me of an interview with him back in 2007. He said that he liked to walk around the aircraft and do last check, and touch the aircraft without gloves. The ritual is shown in this vid as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Berkut Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) WARNING: Heavy pictures! My favorite so far, although not very sharp: Some general info: PAK-FA will have a new seat, based on K-36. Testing of that seat will happen on MiG-31. A news agency reported that PAK-FA carry the new seat already, but apparently it hasn't been tested yet, so that sounds unlikely to me. Probably some misunderstanding. Edited May 24, 2010 by Berkut Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mario krijan Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Great picture, PAK FA looks very good engineered piece of equipment! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Aircraft was presented to Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin at Zhukovsky; looks like PAK-FA gave its first demo display. Not much details can be seen in this display, but acceleration looks amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not much details can be seen in this display, but acceleration looks amazing. I can't see if it uses afterburner or not, but doesn't seems so. In conversation Pogo says to Putin that the prototype is limited in terms of G force strain, which makes sense. There is 14 test flights in total so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
