Unlike the F-22, which uses stealth technology, 85 percent of the surface of Russian T-50 is covered with unique nanotechnological materials that decrease both the visibility of the plane and the air drag. The technical specifications of the missiles for the jet exceed the analogues of the US aircraft. In addition, the T-50 can fire the missiles hidden in internal departments at hypersonic speed. The US fifth-generation aircraft can not do this and has to decelerate for the purpose.

Sukhoi PAK FA T-50 much more powerful than USA's F-22 Raptor - English pravda.ru

What kind of nano-technological materials there could be ?anyone please throw some light on this

Even regular spray-paint is "nano" coating.

Use of carbon nano-particles in paints/ material production is one of the most common "nano-technologies" being used.

We have to wait and see. J-20 might have JSF's swanky engine inlets an the single bubble cockkpit; but the elephantine canards that are just alongside the inlets, undo the stealth effect that its frontal design could have given.

 

[ace009]

Really? The J-20 will rival the JSF? A company with no experience in stealth will rival LM who have created the ONLY stealth fighter in existance? Hmmm - here's what I think of how good the J-20 will be -

have the pair of T-50s resumed flying？

AFAIK - they have ...

The third flight model T-50 is almost ready to take off

MOSCOW, October 27 - RIA Novosti. Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Industrial Association (KnAAPO) completes the preparation for flight tests of the third sample was a fifth generation fighter T-50 (PAK FA), told RIA Novosti on Thursday, a source in the military-industrial complex.

"Preparatory work is completed on the third flight model of the fifth generation fighter. He is almost ready to climb into the sky. It remains to work out of an airplane. He takes off, when designers are fully confident in the product "- a spokesman said.

The source did not specify in what time frame is expected to start flight tests of a prototype aircraft, but added that at the present time the company completes the fourth sample PAK FA.

"Compiling a fourth sample is in the final phase. Now comes the testing of design "- added the official.

Source reminded of an incident at MAKS-2011, when, in August the aircraft for technical reasons, stopped off, throwing the drag chute. As the cause of the incident media called "the failure of the power plant automation."

"The incident at the air show had no effect on the course of test aircraft. It was working, technical issue that could occur during testing of any aircraft. The timing for the airline no gaps, all goes as planned, "- said the source.

The Russian fifth generation fighter T-50 (PAK FA) must be received by the Air Force in 2016. Flight tests took place only two samples of the PAK FA. President of the United Aircraft Corporation, Mikhail Pogosyan reported that plans to raise in the sky are two fifth-generation fighter to the end of the year.

Advanced Tactical Frontline Fighter (PAK FA) aircraft have performed 100 flights

17:23 GMT, November 3, 2011 Moscow | Today, the Advanced Tactical Frontline Fighter (PAK FA) flight testing program has reached an important milestone – completion of 100 flights. At present, two fighters are involved in the flight test trials.

PAK FA performed its maiden flight on January 29, 2010, in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. In the beginning of March, 2011, the second fighter took into the skies. Today, both aircraft participate in ground and flight test trials. The aircraft was presented to the public for the first time on August 17, 2011 at MAKS-2011, International Aviation and Space Salon, in Zhukovsky.

Sukhoi T-50 PAK-FA passes 100th flight milestone

Twenty-one months after first flight at Komsomolsk-on-Amur in Siberia, the Sukhoi T-50 PAK-FA fleet recorded its 100th flight on 3 November.

For perspective, the Lockheed Martin F-35 programme needed 31 months from the first take-off by the AA-1 test aircraft to pass the 100th flight mark.

In that 21-month period, the PAK-FA test fleet has already performed a private air show for Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and made its first official public appearance at the MAKS air show near Moscow. The latter event was marred by an engine blow-out on take-off.

Meanwhile, Russia has been busy on the export front. Rosoboronexport signed a deal with India to develop a new single- and twin-seat variant called FGFA. Sukhoi also offered the PAK-FA to South Korea for the F-XIII contract, but the Russia delegation curiously was absent at the Seoul Air Show last month.

The Russian Air Force has announced plans to receive the first production aircraft in 2013, and to introduce the PAK-FA into operational service two years later.

Testing new flight g-suit for fifth-generation fighter pilots(withstand upto 9g)


http://en.rian.ru/video/20111107/168485947.html video

The Research & Development Production Enterprise Zvezda (Star) is completing tests of a new suit and life-support system for pilots of the fifth-generation PAK FA T-50 Advanced Tactical Fighter outside Moscow.
Development engineers say they have developed a pilot's workstation comprising the suit, a helmet and an ejection seat.
The suit enables the pilot to withstand up to a 9 g force, while executing various maneuvers, to abruptly change course in combat conditions and to retain control of the aircraft.
The upgraded ejection seat includes a miniature computer which can save the pilot even if all other onboard systems fail.
The new helmet is much lighter than previous models and can shield the pilot's head from cockpit-canopy fragments in case of accident. It can also be fitted with specialized equipment.

Stealth fighters: India and Russia form groundbreaking partnership but US rival tries to muscle in

Fighter pilots who train alongside the their peers in the Indian Air Force (IAF) are left in little doubt of their tactical pedigree.
Indian pilots are among the best in the world, with lightning-sharp reactions and the deft hand-eye co-ordination essential to notch up "kills" in aerial exercises.
However, western counterparts say their instincts are still moulded by Soviet-style training manuals based on mass formations to dominate European airspace dating from the cold war, when the two were close, rather than the freer flight of smaller missions over the Himalayas.
The influence of Russia, which is still India's largest arms supplier, is unlikely to wane soon.
Forming the bedrock of India's air strike capabilities are Sukhoi-30MKI and MiG-21 fighter jets. And the country's military planners are now banking on an Indo-Russian stealth fighter joining their ranks within a decade to match the capabilities of China's J-20 fighter.
While two European rivals, the Eurofighter Typhoon and Dassault's Rafale, scrap over supplying fourth-generation combat aircraft to India in a contract that India says could be worth as much as $20bn, Moscow has already secured a partnership with India in military aviation lasting well into the future.
The prize of a visit by Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's president, to New Delhi last year was an agreement to develop jointly a fifth-generation stealth fighter, called by the Russians the T50 or Pak-FA – although India prefers to call it the FGFA, for fifth generation fighter aircraft. The two sides agreed to build up to 300 over 10 years in a deal estimated to be worth $35bn.
The T50, the equivalent of the US F-35, is expected to join the Russian air force in operational trials in five years, and India's four years later.
So far, prototypes of the T50 have completed 100 test flights. The aircraft has a range of 2,000km and a cruising speed of Mach 1.8. It will cost less than $100m – far cheaper than US rivals such as the F-22 Raptor and the F-35, according to its Russian makers Sukhoi and United Aircraft Corporation.
Indian participation puts Asia's third-largest economy at the forefront of military aircraft design and upholds a longstanding Russian promise to share the most advanced technology – something the US has not been ready to do.
Mikhail Pogosyan, president of UAC, says: "We are not simply offering our Indian colleagues the best prototypes of our aviation technology as a finished product, we are dedicated to sharing engineering resources in the development of the most modern aviation facilities with high potential for the global market.
"The joint programmes in the area of combat and transport aviation are a launching pad to develop civil aircraft."
Bangalore-based Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), which already assembles MiG, Sukhoi and BAE Systems Hawk jets, has sought at least a 25 per cent share in the production of a two-seat version of the aircraft. The fighter would also be equipped with BrahMos cruise missiles, which have been developed and tested jointly by the two countries. Ashok Nayak, a former chairman of HAL, describes the project as "more daunting" than any of the initiatives India's aeronautics industry has embarked on in the indigenous development of aircraft such as the Teja, Kiran or Marut.
At a stroke, the agreement has given India the kind of technological partnership – to match its space programme – it craves, and the promise of defence exports.
Potential customers for an Indo-Russian stealth fighter include Algeria, Brazil, Venezuela, Vietnam and Egypt. Indonesia and Iran are also possibilities.
But the US may still fight back on the current tender to supply fourth-generation fighters to India.
The Pentagon recently told the US Congress that it was prepared to provide information to India about the F-35 Lightning II, produced by Lockheed Martin and viewed as a heavy, cheaper version of the F-22.
European defence companies have expressed concern that the US authorities might try to short-circuit the bidding process with a new, more attractive offer outside the terms of the competition.
Ajay Shukla, the defence correspondent for India's Business Standard newspaper, has urged the Ministry of Defence in Delhi to abandon the purchase of "overpriced" fourth-generation fighters and immediately leap to the stealth capabilities offered by the F-35 in a single-vendor contract.
"Lockheed Martin has signalled in multiple ways it would supply the fighter at a fly-away cost of $65m per aircraft with deliveries beginning by 2015," he says.
But other Indian defence analysts say the process to choose the medium multi-role combat aircraft is too far advanced for a U-turn, and current needs are too pressing.
A sudden departure from the process would dent India's credibility, they say, at a time when the conduct of its bureaucracy is under greater scrutiny after a number of corruption scandals.
One defence expert says that the US offer of stealth technology puts the T50 partnership at risk.
The expert, who is close to the negotiations for fourth-generation fighters, asks: "What would India want with two stealth fighters?"
