Very nice airplane and no doubt very agile, Su-35, F-22 territory, which is very good indeed!
But again including the missile-launch-CG !
Anyway the latest info I received in regard to 055 is that with the parts of the canibalised T50-6-1 (aka 056) it is close to "medium well or well done" .... and as such it be come some sort of 055.5 !!

Well even getting the little "Frankenbird" back in the air will be progress, and is just as those of us old heads stated it would be. Next up is to roll this project up to high speed for India, and get them in on the update, and hopefully sell the Indians 75 to 130. In the end, with Russia's money issues, not getting those two Mistrals and getting a wad of cash back from the French?? well lets just say somebody is prolly smiling behind that big frown?? oh and the little bird will be 055, and she will look good, prolly be the new airshow star???
I like to see that they are adding and testing the pylons and pylon mounted weapons.
All of the "stealth" fighters should also have the utility to do this.

Every time I see this aircraft I feel like playing that one hit wonder by Right said Fred “I’m too sexy for my shirt”

Here in the US we had a prototype aircraft like that. It evoked a lot of the same feelings...a full 25 years ago!
Man I wish we had built 300 of these!

it is obvious Sukhoi based the T-50 upon the YF-23, they are different aircraft but definitively they based the PAKFA more on YF-23 than F-22
