Descriptions:
First test flight of new Russian 5th generation stealth fighter Sukhoi PAK FA T-50 took place on January 29, 2010, on the test airfield of Sukhoi/KNAAPO in Komsomolsk-na-Amure, 300km away from Russian/Chinese border. Flight time: 47 min. Tested: take-off/landing, controls, gears, jets. Test pilot: Sergey Bogdan – “Everything went very good, just according the plan”. Sukhoi General Director: Mikhail Pogosyan – “This is a great success of the project and the beginning of a new stage in development of Russian military aviation”. What experts are saying: Sukhoi T-50 is a result of purely Russian R&D. It will be accepted by Russian Air Force in 2013 and will gradually substitute Su-27s and other 4G aircrafts. In 2015 serial production will start. India Air Force will become a first international customer with approximate order of 250 units.
