F-22 Raptor85 viewsAn F-22 Raptor receives fuel from a 909th Air Refueling Squadron KC-135 Stratotanker over Iwo Jima Feb. 18 while en route to Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan. This was the first-ever overseas deployment of the F-22. F-22s from the 27th Fighter Squadron at Langley Air Force Base, Va., are deployed to Kadena AB as part of an Air Expeditionary Force rotation.

Sukhoi PAK-FA T-5034 viewsThe PAK-FA has several features of particular interest here. In the nose there is likely to be active electronically scanned array radar (AESA) as per F-22. This may actually have additional mechanical steering, although that would add weight. What’s virtually unique to the PAK-FA however is rear-facing radar in the tail. This too may be AESA and could simply be an additional array for the nose-mounted radar, or possibly a completely separate set.Jun 21, 2010

Sukhoi PAK-FA T-5023 viewsThe PAK-FA is also reportedly a multi-role design. The internal weapons bays are larger than on F-22, but with less depth and may not be capable of carrying many of the weapons speculated. Various Kh-31 (AS-17 Krypton) family supersonic missiles seem plausible albeit on the large side, as do satellite guided bombs and KAB-500 series bombs. The weapons bays are about 5m long.Jun 21, 2010

Sukhoi PAK-FA T-5028 viewsThe F-22 can carry 6 AMRAAM missiles in the main bay. Reports indicate that the PAK-FA can carry 8 equivalent AA-12 (RVV-SD) missiles, giving it a 2 missile advantage. The side bays (orange) are of similar capacity with both aircraft carrying just one short-range missile per bay. For the PAK-FA the two smaller weapons bays are probably for the RVV-MD version of the AA-11 Archer short range missile. The RVV-MD is capable of rear-firing, a unique feature where the missile flips immediately after launch.Jun 21, 2010

Sukhoi PAK-FA T-5029 viewsNote on Air-Air Weapons: Russia has unveiled the RVV-SD missile, an updated version of the AA-12 Adder missile with folding fins, as the main missile of the aircraft. Although the PAK-FA’s weapons bays can likely carry larger missiles, they are probably not large enough for the massive KS-172 (RVV-L) weapon which has an expected range of about 400km.Jun 21, 2010

Sukhoi PAK-FA T-5013 viewsThe Su-41 has a generally conventional layout with tail planes, but additionally moving LERX above the engine intakes. The tail fins are unusually small and all-moving. The engines are mounted far apart, optimizing the impact of the 3D thrust vectoring control, and allowing for two large weapons bays mounted in tandem between them.Jun 21, 2010

Sukhoi PAK-FA T-5029 viewsEarly analysis of PAK-FA airframe aerodynamic features revealed a design superior to all Western equivalents, providing supersonic cruise capability, VLO and ‘extreme agility’. The latter was accomplished by the combined use of 3D thrust vector control of the engine nozzles, all moving tail surfaces, and refined aerodynamic design with relaxed directional static stability and careful mass distribution to control inertial effects. The initial production aircraft boasted similar low observables performance tJun 21, 2010
