berkut @ keypublishing posted this. Something about IR signature reduction via flat nozzles and spraying aerosols? Can anyone summerize the article.

Thanks a million in advance,

Korrect Komrade Hyperwarp! They've already captured my idea of longer kooler nozzles for my upgrade Raptor, with air injection to kool the exhaust, and "One UPed" me with a kool aerosol spray injector!

Now I'm going to have to incorporate an alcohol base refrigerant injection into my new nozzles to reduce IR signatures on my new Veloci-Raptor!

Not a bad video until they had to resort to lying about LockMart, as the F-15 and F-18 continue to be built by Boeing. Its not unusual for the Russians to lie sadly, but the F-22 is far superior to anything they will design and build in the present or foreseeable future, and the F-35 is going to revolutionize air combat. Oh well?? what can be said, some things never change? I guess it wouldn't be good ad copy if they admitted they were rehashing old aircraft, because they are well behind the curve on the fifth gen scene??

Further "anecdotal evidence" that the T-50 continues to be behind the power curve, I believe 6-2 should have already rolled out and first flighted. Certainly not proof positive?? but it does lead one to wonder what the holdup is, supposed entering service in 2017???
Obviously its not far enough along to "start with the first string"?
