Abstract

The article reports on Sukhoi's T-50, a stealthy fifth-generation Russian fighter to rival the U.S. F-22. The fighter's first flight was conducted on January 29, 2010 from the KnAAPO facility in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. The fighter shows resemblances to the F-22 Raptor, but retains its Su-27 features. Despite the stealth-related features of the fighter, Western analysts question whether Sukhoi can develop and deliver the aircraft by 2015 as promised.
