T50's conventional cone shaped exhaust is not stealthy, hope china doesn't follow

Basically, think of a radar blocker as a filter, like for an air conditioner. It catches some incoming radar waves like a filter catching dust, but it also reduces engine performance because it disrupts the incoming air as well.

Hi guys and girls, my first post here so please be gentle. This thread attracted my attention for a couple of reasons. You guys do know that the engines currently fitted to the T-50 are not the planned production engines, certainly in terms of nozzles right? Also the T-50, being a prototype designation, is not by a long shot the end model. I am sure that our friends in Russia will ensure that the rivets will have disappeared and the many other "flaws" will have been addressed.
The F-35 has flaws, as has been mentioned such as the "old style" front end and as has been mentioned on several sites the RCS of the F-35's rear end is quite large. Just like the production F-35, I'm sure the production PAK-FA will be a very different bird
