PAK FA official site

Hey guys! check this out, and official site for Sukhoi fighters from Su 27 to Su 35, as well as PAK FA

KNAAPO

Great find! By the way, if you go to the aircraft photo pages, the last picture is hilarious. The guy is staring right at that girl's butt.

Nice find. However, other than the small pic of the aft portion, I get a 404 error. They must have posted it in mistake.

And that too, If I am not mistaken, with a priest sitting right next to him. He may have had that cane coming down on his shin very soon!


btw, the 'PAC FA' as the animation piece labels it, gives a 404. So I cannot find the PAK FA page.

I believe this is only an artist's concept as seen in this wikipedia page...

Here is the pic...

Nice though, I cant wait to se the real thing with the phasers and R2D2 type robot riding shotgun. lol But really I cant wait.

The other looks considerably more Russian, imo.

Doesn't mean either is right, of course

The wikipedia article has some errors:
1. 4000 km is 2500 miles
2. Mach 2.5 is 1800+ mph not 1586

PAK FA is developed, built, and tested in secret. So i think, if they ready, they will show us the whole idea! but we have to wait for couple years ahead.


about the wikipedia, i found some strange between the specification and the picture. if you compare between the length and the wingspan, you will get that the wingspan scale is far shorter than the length, which is not likely in the picture. Maybe what they mean is the Indian configuration, and not the Russian one.

Here is the link

It would be really cool if the PAKFA actually did turn out looking like that! That artists impression looks like a Mig 1.44. Hm.

Also, what is knaapo?

Be careful! if this is only wikipedia image, then why the KNAAPO use that!?

think about it, which from they got that picture. the made it them self? of course not

It´s an official image, even if you go the Saturn website (the engine contractor for the PAK FA), you will get similar image of the plane!

What i know the one who made it was Jozef Gatial. And i think he is reliable enough!

...

O yeah! btw, i read in the newspaper that the PAK FA price will be cheaper than F-35, i just wonder... will it be under $30 million bucks???

I did not say that Wiki made the image, I just said that it was an artists impression(I may be wrong) of what the plane looks like. The link to the wiki page was just so that people could see the entire plane since its not on the KNAAPO website.

What i just curious about is the MiG Skat project, i wanna see if it will be truly better than the any US UCAV.

I think the ´fist day stealth´ will be the right place (moment) for the UCAV; low cost, effective, higher durable, easy to operate!

Their claim to fame is that they occasionally build Sukhoi fighters for whoever the Russian government will allow them to sell to. On a day to day basis they do however do more mundane thing like producing passenger aircraft...

They have built thousands of aircraft from all the big names, Sukhoi, MiG, Tupolev, Ilyushin and Yakovlev.

Unlike in the west the design companies never built their own aircraft, whenever a design was selected for service they were handed over to the state aircraft factories for mass production, Knaapo was one of these factories.

Well if you say so who am i to argue! I think i got it partly right in stating that that they pretty much do what their allowed to do by the central government? Oh well...

Stellar, I wasn't contradicting your reply, I was 'enhancing' it

Just adding a bit more background info, thats all.

Alright! How about this!
