The latest issue of Air & Cosmos publishes an article by Piotr Butowski and Antony Angrand entitled Du PAK FA au Su-57, which provides interesting information on the Russian program for the creation of a fifth-generation fighter on the PAK FA theme. Our blog translates this material.

PAK FA will soon receive a new name, now the fifth generation fighter will be called Su-57. However, the production of this twin-engine fighter was revised downward. For two years, the prototype fighter aircraft have undergone the procedure of strengthening the airframe, as well as a number of improvements.

During the first day of the MAKS-2017 International Aviation and Space Salon, Russian President Vladimir Putin was to visit the hangar in which the [eighth] prototype of the fifth generation fighter PAK FA, a copy of T-50-9, was located. At the same time it was supposed to complete the procedure of signing the document on the end of the first stage of tests and the recommendation to start serial production of a batch of aircraft. However, Vladimir Putin decided to change his route and did not go to the hangar. The new designation PAK FA was not announced and the fighter is waiting for another chance so that its official name was named.

India plans on acquiring modified PAK FA as a part of its Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) program. It originally planned on buying 166 single-seat and 44 two-seat variants, but this has been reduced to 130-145 single-seat aircraft and the requirement for 45-50 twin-seat fighters has been dropped by 2014.

About time. Are we finally clear about the internal weapon bay?
Click to expand...
Normaly yes and we can noted disadvantage of weapons bays in tandem for AAMs number only 4 max 1 in 1/2 weapons bays, F-22 have 6.

For A2G weapons right now 1000 lbs bombs seems the max internaly but 4 noted F-35A/C with a shallower weapons bay can host 2000 lbs weapons but 2.


If we can have max size for weapons it is really interesting the blogger say max 4.2 m x 40 cm*, F-35A/C 4,2 x 0.64 m, the B 3.85 x 0.64 max 1000 lbs bombs.
F-22 weapons bay long 3.9 m diam max for weapons 35 cm for 1000 lbs.

*
Todo esto es en plan teórico sobre todo en lo relacionado con las bodegas de armamento. En las nuevas municiones hay unas dimensiones -más o menos- que se respetan que es una longitud de 4,2 m y una anchura de 0,4 m por lo que en base a eso y a las dimensiones de las bodegas se puede aventurar la cantidad de municiones que pueden alojarse dentro

In this case can't host Kh-59 on the graphic do 5.7 m !!!

Difficult matters but interesting.

Here and others pages many nice graphics for weapons load
