Fighter T-50 stealth ahead of American F-22s.





Russian fifth generation fighter T-50 (PAK FA) will be less visible to enemy radar. Through design solution T-50 ahead of this characteristic of all aircraft of the Russian army and the American F-22s.

Aircraft "dry" failed repeatedly to reduce the radar cross section of the PAK FA - basic characteristic visibility of the aircraft radars. Now the average value of this indicator at the fighter from 0, 1 to 1 square meter. Thus, he became 15 times "more discreet" Su-27.

To achieve this invisibility to radar, designers, it was decided to move all airborne weapons inside the fuselage, and change the shape of the air intake duct. Further, the walls of the channel inlet were further coated with materials that absorb radio waves.

To exclude additional scattering of electromagnetic waves, the gaps at the joints of the various structural elements fighter filled conductive sealants. Transparent cockpit canopy covered with glazed metalized to reflect the incident radio waves.

Changes have also occurred onboard equipment. For example, the reverse side of the optical sensors, it was decided to perform plane of radar absorbing coatings. When the sensors are inactive, they are facing the back of the incident radar radiation.

Thanks to the new design solution, T-50 is not only ahead of all the samples of the Russian Army, but also modern foreign models. For example, the "visibility" of the US fifth generation fighter F-22 is 0, 3-0, 4 square meters.

It is known that T-50 is superior to the American plane, not only in this parameter. Russian aircraft speed over 500 km / h, the weight of the structure is smaller and the duration of flight is much higher. In addition, the T-50 more maneuverable than the US fighter.

T-50 - it's a plane that can carry out any task designed for fighter and attack aircraft and bombers. Fifth-generation fighter invisible to enemy radar, has a top speed over 2500 km / h and has an artificial intelligence. The aircraft is able to perform complex operations that were previously not feasible without the intervention of the pilot.

Now five samples of the T-50 undergoing flight tests, state tests of the aircraft are scheduled for 2014. Ministry of Defence has ordered 60 aircraft, and the first fighting vehicles, is expected to go into force in 2016.

The main elements of the design of T-50 manufactured by enterprises Rostec. Avionics and avionics, satisfying the requirements of the fifth generation aircraft, create the concern "Radio-electronic technology." The canopy and trim specialists make RT-holding Himkompozit. T-50 is the first Russian combat aircraft with a high proportion of composite materials. Their share in the total weight of the empty aircraft is 25%, and the surface of the plane - 70%.

The power plant is being developed by designers of the United Engine Corporation. Work on the engine of the fifth generation are concentrated in the established on the basis of the DCS division "engines for combat aircraft." Who is the prototype T-50 engines are installed the first phase of the AL-41F1. This Aircraft Bypass Turbofan engine with afterburner and thrust vector control. With this engine aircraft capable of supersonic speed without afterburner develop.

Another holding "Rostec" - "Aircraft Equipment" - has developed a unique Aviasistemy and units for the T-50. Especially for the fighter in the holding company was set up a new system of direct current power supply, which is two times more powerful than all the existing Russian analogs.
