wish the PAK-FA would have a frameless canopy Just like the J-XX prototype & the F-22...

I don't know if that would be done but rear front RCS of the PAK-FA would not be low with the current design... I think it needs changes...

could you please point out the interesting factors in the photos kunal???
The second pic of the tail end fuselage sems to be designed in a stealthy manner and the only odd thing there is the rectangular exhaust. If you se even the frame is built in a way to house a rectangular exhaust engine and the frame connecting the airframe to the elevons and the fuselage are also in a rhomboidal shape so as to reduce the signature. So all these were done keeping rectangular exhausts in mind i suppose. The same goes for the small trapezoidal tail fins i guess. Or else they could have gone with the conventional tail like the JSF or the J 20.

Apology for late reply :)

1st Pic:




Sukhoi is calling it a Movable Leading Edge Canards create additional radar-reflecting area. A MLE, providing many of the benefits of canards (additional lift, additional maneuverability) are less observable in the radio spectrum.

The additional benefit of this particular MLE design is that it may be able to serve as an additional intake ramp, to slow down the air hitting the engine compressor face from supersonic to subsonic speeds. Aircraft with more than one intake ramp generally slow down air more efficiently, which means that they are faster than other aicraft.

2nd Image:




Tail end fuselage of PAK-FA hold a additional X band radar..



These features are very unique and very innovative..
And the deign is ahead of what J-20 present and even F-22/35..





PS. I completed my 2000th post here..

I had also noticed that... that's why i asked in an earlier post whether the engine exhausts will be redesigned or not....

This was supposed to be implemented on the MKI during MLU as well. Don't know how far that may be true?

Guys I have been trying to figure out where the heck would he 8 internal storage bay according to Mikhail Pogosyan, be located as the Engine's location takes up significant space. Any ideas?

6 missled inbetween the engines in the fuselage and 2 in covered bays near the Leading edge of the wing.
