Russian Su-57 Aircraft Thread (PAK-FA and IAF FGFA)

Three ways to make sense of it, IMO.
1. This is just nonsense someone made up when a reporter asked why the Su-57 didn't have the new, stealthy nozzle. It happens.
2. The Russians may have a 3d TVC version of this. If true, very cool, and I'd love to see it.
3. The Russians have decided stealth is more important than TVC. That seems to run contrary to their aircraft design philosophy, but it's possible. I could see a scenario where the combat testing in Syria showed TVC wasn't really useful.
To know which is true, we will have to wait and see.
I was rather surprised with the article and from the AvNerd POV, I'm hoping it is #2.
…despite su-57 has round exhaust… that TVC is still single axis…

F22 doesn’t need TVC for Yaw that’s what the rudders do. TVC isn’t meant to replace the conventional controls it’s an augmentation to them. On F22 the TVC was added for additional pitch but also to reduce the IR signature.
yeah, but the Russian TVC is just a regular 2D TVC with round exhaust and slightly tilted at 14 (???) degrees, so the a ability of pitch control is close to none...
Well when both of them move, their thrust cancels out each other's "yawing moment" there you have your pitch control.
Well the time to edit has passed so.. i guess i'll make another and maybe let Mod review.
So to pitch the TVC will be pointed out in this manner

And if you have a good flight control system, you can have yaw easily with two engine.
