Phartycr0c Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 For all you Russian heavy metal fans, take a butchers at This Possible F35 replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 It's a pretty aircraft... It looks like an F-22 had it away with a Mig-29 with an SR-71 in the heritage. It kind of makes the F-22 look a bit clunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigsty Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 It kind of makes the F-22 look a bit clunky There are bricks that do that. It may be very whizzy but it's a real minger, especially on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar2 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I thought it looked rather like the YF-23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spence Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Absolutely beautiful! The F-22 looks like a bar of soap to me - and not a very attractive one at that. The PAK-FA looks like the Russians went with the F-23 (the best looking aircraft ever to fly in my opinion...) and ran with it. I love this aircraft and can't wait to build one in miniature... Oh and BTW - in the August MAW Ken Duffey will show you how to scratchbuild one of these in 1/72 - just thought I'd mention it! Spence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul A H Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 PAK-FA looks better and better every time I see it!

andy wood Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 (edited) A complex of measures to reduce visibility (visual, infrared, radar etc.) of an object.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stealth_technology I think he was being critical of his own typing, Pin. Really interesting video. I am sure some of those manouveres were for the benefit of the modelling community. "Ok folks this is how we painted it underneath....and......here is what it looks like on top!" Anyone else note the new style of national in insignia? With relations with Russia back on track (no thanks to Mr GW Bush), I wonder when we will see this at RIAT and Farnbrough?

Phartycr0c Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Yup indeed I was. On second look It is in fact the YF23, I though initially it was an F22 "cut and shut" onto a Flanker airframe. Still like it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it had been proved, you only need to get the first & last letters right for it to be understood, the ones in the middle are unimportant. I had no trouble knowing exactly what you meant.

pigsty Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Amazing how the technology has come on. Fifty years ago, an aircraft with so little fin area would have killed its pilot through yaw coupling in a matter of seconds. Also amazing that you can just sit and watch this at home. Can you imagine doing that with the prototype Flanker, or Flagon, or Fencer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Jones Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) Quick ! cancel F35, we should buy this instead, can see it now in 899 sqd FAA or 56 sqd RAF markings. Edited May 22, 2010 by Andrew Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffe284 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Funny, I get these flashbacks to Firefox from the early 80's with Clint Eastwood - don't knonw why Anybody notice that from below - during the roll-part about halfway - it looks like a F-14 Tomcat with sweept wings?

I couldn't see the F-14 resemblance but the first thing that came to mind on takeoff was that this was literally only one step away from the MIG-31 in Firefox.

The chines (?) on the lower forward fuselage sides really did hark back to "Firefox". I so thought too. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
