AnthonyWan Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 It looks like it has full moving vertical tail surfaces ... Or are my eyes playing tricks on me ? Gregg I think it does...I seem to see the same thing. Certainly a monumental day, putting a whole lot of speculation to rest. Congrats to Sukhoi for a great first flight - can't wait to see more of this aircraft. I guess it's good I took a few minutes to wander through ARC this evening...now, back to Calculus homework :P Thanks for keeping us all updated Zmey and Ray. :) -Awan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Skull Leader Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 If anything, I would call this validation of the YF-23 design. the Widow fans should be happy that something similar is seeing the light of day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zmey Smirnoff Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) YF-23 fanboys will have to get in line. But it would be nice to keep the flamewars to a minimum... at least for couple of days. This is a great day for all aviation enthusiasts. Lets rejoice together.

Rapier01 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 That's a sharp looking plane... how much do you all want to bet that it flies more test sorties this year than the F-35? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pin Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) Well hello, Raptor-ski. I have been wondering, why these "-ski" endings sound Russian to the westerners? They sound Polish to me :) Edited January 29, 2010 by pin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
