MOSCOW, November 24. / TASS /. The first flight of the Russian fifth generation fighter PAK FA with the engine of the second stage will take place in 2018 rather than in 2017 as previously estimated. This was announced on Tuesday, Deputy General Designer of United Engine Corporation (UEC) Victor Belousov.
"Preparations for the flight - in 2017, the first flight - in 2018" - said Belousov.

Earlier it was expected that the PAK FA with the engine of the second stage - the so-called "article 30" - will rise into the air in 2017. Now the fighter prototypes are equipped with engines of the first stage - "Article 117".

"This year will be ready one sample demonstrator engine of the second stage", - said the representative of the corporation. Earlier it was planned that in 2015, JDC will make two such demonstrator

- Tell us, please, what the opportunity to acquire the aircraft of the fifth generation PAK FA with the latest electronic systems KRET?

- KRET already talked about the features of complex EW "Himalaya" and strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) installed on the PAK FA. Now we want to draw attention to a new radar, which is designed for the PAK FA. This radar has several ranges of work and will work not only in the forward hemisphere - it will also be a number of opportunities for the circular scan, so that the pilot has complete information about a radar environment to without taking action on the maneuvering could see what was happening on the left, right, back in the automatic mode with the projection on the helmet and interactive glass cockpit.

According to their purpose PAK FA aircraft does not just apply to the aircraft of the fifth generation - it embodied a fundamentally new ideas. That is, it is one hundred percent digital aircraft that not only provides information to the pilot on request, but also provides full information support for the pilot - for this aircraft is equipped with a "smart skin". By "smart skin" we understand that many of the surface of the aircraft are versatile antenna systems that provide the application of the integrated use of all resources of the aircraft. First of all we are talking about the fact that a complex radar system can function, and means of passive intelligence and means of active radar and electronic warfare specialist.

For example, a complex electronic warfare "Himalayas" at certain points in space to protect the use of radar energy resource. All this is done to ensure that the aircraft had an opportunity to review the circular space in passive and active modes, was able to provide absolute protection and round to communication and control systems, electronic warfare aircraft covered all radii. That's how it complexed possibilities of different electronic systems, making the aircraft the most secure and invulnerable. Communication systems can also be used in protected mode - to form the transmission of information is not round, but only in the direction of the points to which he has to lose one or the other flight information, get a job or other information values. This is done by including features to maximize the use of weapons by aircraft, to maximize opportunities of electronic security. We can say that the PAK FA everything works in the general contour of the digital control system of the aircraft and to provide maximum comfort and a maximum degree of control for the pilots.

- Whether to begin deliveries to the Armed Forces of the first batch of special containers through which the Su-34 aircraft converted into electronic warfare?


- The first batch will be delivered in November this year. On the wingtips of the Su-34 basic kit is installed EW multifunctional complex "Khibiny-10B". This year, the Defense Ministry will receive the first batch of installed under the fuselage of the so-called container incremental staff, to turn the standard Su-34 dedicated aircraft electronic warfare, which will be able to protect not only themselves, but also to provide an effective electronic countermeasures radar systems and anti-aircraft missile systems, long-range aircraft radar surveillance, and so on, that is the protection of aircraft and other groups.

Thus, the Su-34 will be able not only combat aircraft but also a special plane of electronic warfare.

I don't see S-duct anywhere. If you take off that brown paper you can take a look directly at the engine so It's like the X-32.

You can see that older flankers having very similar intake shape. That guy in above pic is clearly sitting in that "upper front lip".

F-22 for comparison.

INDEED you are correct sir, very fine work Broccoli, too many "super fans" around here to get an accurate picture, but you have done us a service and given a very fine illustration, well done!

I would add that the F-22 duct is in fact "carbon fibre" , the duct work on the T-50 is clearly NOT! So much for all the claims that the T-50 has more carbon fibre, I rather believe that it does not??? Its always nice to have those pretty pictures to bring us all to the truth, thou some will continue to resist? LOL

Here is Mr. Paralay's drawing about T-50 intake and as you can see there is some curvature but it's mainly to make room for the landing gear. Sukhoi people have also noted that T-50 is going to use radar blockers (like Super Hornet, X-32, etc) instead of s-duct.

Here is actual Sukhoi patent for the intake design.
