Sukhoi T-50 Fighter Starting Flight Tests
Hi All,
Does anyone have any other information or pictures on T-50? It would be interesting to see this thing. Here is the article I came across. T-50 Starting Flight Tests. CUBE |

Googled and found the following link: Re: Sukhoi PAK FA T-50 2012 Design Completed 2009 [ PowerRussia ] - AOL Video As your article says, unlikely to have any real pics until it flies. A HNY to all our readers! Pip pip ON |
Now I see where the F-22 program went to!

F22 look alike, these guys are doing a few new planes
|
On one of the You-tube animations it lists some 'facts' about the aircraft and one the 'facts' it lists is the wavelength of the radar which is quoted as 3mm.
Either this is a typo, in which case what others have been misreported or its a new ball park in military aircraft radar. :eek: |
Radar with "3mm" wavelength
Unless my maths is astray, 3mm wavelength ~= 100GHz frequency. :ooh:
That's gotta be a typo. 3cm (Ku-Band) seems rather more likely |
3mm wavelength radar
Millimetre wave radar is a possibility, I worked on a development airborne one in the late eighties, 98GHz if I remember correctly. However, not too sure if it would be any good as an AI radar as atmospheric attenuation can be very high at those frequencies.

I wonder if these guys will have years of test flights money issues and delays like most modern Western aircraft or I am just having a dig at BAE only.

It's already 3 years late - no difference there then!
