TaiidanTomcat Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Assume this is before the "feathers" are added. Great detail there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Aww, seemingly it is not Izd.30 afterall. Might be related though, unclear still. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
757flyer Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I never noticed that some of the airframes have different tail stingers (for lack of a better term): https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/8705330 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 T-50-1 has had the long stinger (containing anti-stall parachute) for over 5 years now. Phase 2 frames have longer stinger which contains a radar that is part of the L402 Himalaya ECM system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Berkut Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) Technically i am still right as 6 years is "over 5 years". I seemed to remember it got it as part of the structural modifications it got between August 2011 and September 2012 but yeah, you are right. It got it in summer of 2011, prior to MAKS 2011.

Mfezi Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 It appears they have now fitted one of the prototypes with a prototype Izdelye 30 engine. The Izdelye 30 is on the left, a "standard" AL-41F1 on the right - you can see the differences in the nozzles best in the close-ups around 0:30 into the video: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know NATO code names are not designed to be flattering, but there appears to be something a little childish about that particular one. Just my personal opinion - maybe others like it. Quote First serial Su-57 undergoing final assembly; Video shows it + second serial frame; Good find. Did I hear correctly in the video that the guy said a contract was signed for 72 aircraft? I thought the official order was for 76. Maybe I heard wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

According to preliminary information, the culprit was control system. Pilot ejected and is fine. Tough one - based on my own experience with FCS testing, the positive is that (obviously depending on the exact cause) most FCS issues on FBW aircraft do not require hardware changes. Bad thing is that the software changes can be very time consuming to isolate and often require a lot of unplanned new testing to validate. Hope for their sake that it is an easily traceable and fixable cause. It must be really frustrating that whatever it was only came out on the first production aircraft. Always glad to hear that the pilot got out safely though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
