![]() ![]() As for the nozzles, they have a vector thrust in the vertical plane. ![]() Their dry thrust is unknown but it would be of 14,7 tons unit in PC. The aircraft is for the moment propelled by 2 AL-41F1 derived from the AL-31F. ![]() Another sensor named 101KS-O is placed on the top of the fuselage, behind the cockpit. An optronic ball 101KS-V placed in front of the cockpit will be used for the identification of the targets: it is one of the 6 sensors of the optronic suite 101KS Atoll OEIS, which allow a spherical coverage on 360°. It is said to be capable of tracking 30 targets and engaging 8 simultaneously. It has nearly 1,500 modules and is even said to have “artificial intelligence”. It is equipped with five AESA antennas: one front and two side X-band antennas as well as two L-band antennas located in the leading edges of the wings, a frequency designed to detect stealth aircraft. The T-50 will be equipped with the Tikhomirov Sh121 radar presented at MAKS 2009. It also seems to integrate the HOTAS system as well as a new ejection seat model. According to the flight simulator presented, the cockpit should have two multifunctional screens and a HUD with a very wide field. The equivalent surface radar (SER) would be of 0,5m².įrom a technical point of view, the visible post on the canopy of the T-50-1 will be absent from the production aircraft. One finds without surprise the cone of tail dear to Sukhoi, placed between 2 spaced engines which contain 2 parachutes of braking. The airframe itself is made up of 70% of composite materials. Its apexes include a mobile vortex-generating element. Compared to the Su-27, it is smaller and more compact. It has a diamond-shaped wing, leading edge alignment (with a 53° sweep) and trailing edges, S-shaped air intake veins and one-piece tail fins inclined at 25°. Indeed, the project has remained confidential for a long time to the point that the design gave rise to numerous speculations.įrom the front, the T-50 is reminiscent of the YF-23, while from other angles it looks more like the F-22. This allows for the occasion to unveil through photos and videos posted on the Internet the appearance of the T-50. On January 29, 2010, the test pilot Sergey Bogdan made a first flight of 47 minutes at Komsomolsk-on-Amur. The taxiing tests of the T-50KNS intended for the structural integration tests started on December 22, 2009. In fact, the construction of the first three prototypes began only in December 2007 at the KnAAPO factory (Komsomolsk-on-Amur), while the Su-35BM and the Berkut were used as test benches for some of its equipment. The remainder is financed by Sukhoi, the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Industry. Finally, India, interested in the project, declared itself ready to finance half of it, and officially became a partner in the program on December 22, 2008. Brazil, the first country approached, did not follow. The year 2007 was devoted to the search for financial partners. The programme is valued at 360 to 420 billion roubles, or 8 to 10 billion dollars. At the same time, Vympel is already developing the missiles that will equip the future Russian fighter. Whereas the first flight was planned in 2006, only a model is at this period available. However the credits miss, the project takes delay and stumbles on the engines, the flight controls and the avionics. The program is then supervised by Alexander Davydenko. In October 2004, Sukhoï transmits its initial project which is accepted only 2 months later. On 26 April 2002, Sukhoi was declared the winner, and NPO Saturn was selected for the engine. Sukhoi, with its T-50, MiG with its MiG E-721, and Yakovlev responded to the tender. The goal remains the same: to provide a replacement for the MiG-29 and Su-27 capable of opposing the American F-22. 44 and S-37 prototypes, which were too expensive, the Russians launched the Perspektivnyi Aviatsionnyi Kompleks Frontovoi Aviatsy (PAK-FA) program in 1999, and finalized the specifications in April 2001: the aircraft must be stealthy, capable of supercruise, have ADAC capabilities, have a range of 1,200 km, be highly maneuverable, multirole, have avionics, a data fusion capability and a modern engine, all at an affordable price.
