Sexy plane for sure, but it may as well be a Mack truck. Where are the weapon bays? I don't see them, and certainly no plane of stealth would use pylons...

Now, why would they redesign the Su-47? It wouldn't make sense, it is true that the FSW configuration isn't good for Supersonic speeds, but it is amazingly manueverable at low speeds, has a lower drag, and a lower stall than conventional aircraft. All of that at subsonic speeds, it's pretty good, so I'd say that the Advantages out weigh the disadvantages on that one.
Why would the Russian's waste so much money on an aircraft that in the end, they'd end up making conventional like this? The Russian's just don't have the money to be making choices like this, if you ask me, the best course of action, will be to build a switchable FSW configuration.……
