Tupolev is preparing to start creating prototypes of PAK DA "Messenger"

Today news agency Interfax citing a source, reports that in the near future Tupolev’s specialists will begin to create the first prototypes of the future long-range aircraft aviation. We are talking about the implementation of the PAK DA project.

It is noted that the creation of prototypes of the promising airline begins at the beginning of 2019. For this, the transfer of the necessary design documentation to the Kazan Aviation Plant is in full swing.

From the material:

Construction will begin in the coming months.

The task that Tupolev specialists must solve is the final creation of a long-range aviation complex, which will allow replacing such aircraft as the Tu-95, Tu-160 and Tu-22М3.

It is known that the designers stopped at the version of the PAK DA version in the “flying wing” configuration. In other words, the aircraft will have no tail. In the internal compartments, the ADP DA should eventually carry a greater load of armaments than the current means of long-range aviation of the Russian Federation Air Force. One of the types of weapons that will carry the PAK YES - hypersonic missile systems. Earlier it was reported that we can talk about the modification of the "Dagger". In this case, the aircraft itself will be subsonic.

Last year, the government of the Russian Federation announced plans for the promising missile carrier to carry out the first flight in the 2026 year, and to go into the series in the 2029.

The original name of the project, which was first talked about in relation to the development of long-range aircraft, was “Messenger”.

PAK YES "Messenger"

Always liked the names of our projects.

which will replace such aircraft as the Tu-95, Tu-160 and Tu-22M3.

Well, the first two are still clear, but the last two are not very good. Did this plane have its SPECIAL tasks, to combat the same AUG, will the "Messenger" take it upon itself?

[aszzz888]

... indeed, the name with subtext ...

[Egorovich]

A "messenger" can bring both pacification and an end to other people's dreams of aggression. The name impressed, with meaning !!!

[Machito]

The messenger. Cool. Such a plane can appoint the US ambassador and send directly to ..... you know where.

[Vlad.by]

You can also call a diplomat.
It will definitely have serious arguments for the non-negotiable ...

[Akuzenka]

Messenger .... hmm. And in Greek - an angel! A title with a lot of subtexts.

But in reality it will bring support to Middle Eastern dictators in the fight against their people and help in the capture of neighboring weaker countries.

Infantry Shovel "Excitement",
handcuffs "Tenderness",
light and noise grenade "Ecstasy".

[KOCMOC]

From the Internet, old but relevant ...
See for yourself ... It seems that our developers of military equipment and weapons are a little scoffing at their foreign colleagues. In the sense of assigning the names of the military equipment they create.
Here Germany has a Leopard tank. Israel - "Merkava" (War chariot). America has the Abrams tank, France the Leclerc tank, both in honor of the famous generals. What about us? We have a T-72B “Slingshot”. In honor of the slingshot. It is not clear why, but it is clear that KVN could only be born with us.

Or, for example, the Americans take and call their self-propelled howitzer "Paladin." And the British call their "Archer" (Archer). All the way. Here our people come up and say: look here. These are self-propelled howitzers 2C1 Gvozdika, 2C3 Akatsiya, self-propelled mortar 2C4 Tulip and long-range self-propelled guns 2C5 Hyacinth and 2C7 Peony, capable of firing nuclear shells. Please smell the bouquet.

Here the Americans take and call their anti-tank guided missile "Dragon." And the other is called "Shillaila" (Club). Everything is logical. Here ours are drawn again and say: take a look. Here are the 9M14M Malyutka anti-tank missiles, the 9M123 Chrysanthemum anti-tank missiles, and the Metis anti-tank missiles with the Mulat night sight. And so that it would become completely incomprehensible and scary to you, we still had a rocket called "Edge".

And to give you even more thought, we called the heavy tank support vehicle "Frame"
And so that your head is spinning, we called the latest coastal defense missile system “Ball”.
And so that you have an idiotic smile on your turnip, our most powerful 30-barrel self-propelled flamethrower in the world is called TOS-1 "Pinocchio".
And so that you can be taken away right now to the madhouse, our GP-30 grenade launcher has the name “Shoe”.
From the last, even I, a habitual person, get fucked up ...
And if something, that is, another 82 mm automatic mortar 2B9 "Cornflower", company mortar 2B14 "Tray", mortar 2C12 "Sani", active wire guard system "Cactus" (5 volts on the wire), intercontinental ballistic missile "Courier "With a nuclear charge, intercontinental ballistic missile RT-000 UTTH" Molodets "with ten nuclear charges ... Also, a nuclear submarine of project 23" Lira ", artillery fire control system" Kapustnik ", artillery radar target detection system" Zoo ", container control system Phantasmagoria rockets, the Condenser self-propelled gun and a grenade for the 705P7 “Foundling” grenade launcher.

Maybe our menacing names seem odious and "stilted"? So they "dilute" the general row with such kind and unexpected names. "White swans", by the way, also have a very gentle initial image ... However, they can "dirty" the target area!

And maybe later, judging by the pace of implementation of the "product 80" project (R&D "Messenger")

A competition for the creation of this aircraft was announced in 2007, in which the winner was Tupolev Design Bureau in August 2009. The Design Bureau signed a three-year contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense for the “Messenger” R&D. As part of the research, Tupolev Design Bureau prepared a draft design for “product 80”, approved in the spring of 2013. On December 23, 2013, the UAC signed a contract for the development of a technical design for PAK DA; the technical design was approved in 2016.
However, in 2015, the idea of ​​resuming Tu-160M2 production was accelerated and the PAK DA program was postponed to a later date. Deputy Minister of Defense Yuri Borisov said that because of the Tu-160M2 program, the PAK DA project “will be somewhat delayed”

According to the stated requirements, the main and duplicating electronic engine systems will have to provide a bomber flight lasting up to 30 hours.

Fuel supply and hydromechanical control systems should operate at near-zero and negative overloads up to 2,7 g and at temperatures from minus 60 to plus 50 degrees Celsius.
The minimum service life of the product should be 12 years with the possibility of extending the life of up to 21 years.

In addition, it was separately noted that the engine must be resistant to the effects of the damaging factors of nuclear weapons.

[Hypersound]

The development will be easily taken out - in the Russian Federation it is 30-60 times cheaper than the American one. But to reproduce - to build many copies - this is already much more difficult for us than for the USA. Most likely, they will make 10-15 pieces at most

[RL]

From the "if only, if only" area.
If in Russia there were such salaries as in the USA, then the price of the plane would be tens of percent higher than in the USA. Because in the USA there is MUCH less stealing and cutting than in Russia. And for such cases, the punishments are very sensitive, not looking at the ranks and acquaintances.
And the military are not masters there. A small example. The US Congress considered and decided that the operation of the SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft is too expensive and that's it, the aircraft no longer flies. The military made a little noise, they say, the flights of this aircraft are vital for the security of the United States, but they made noise in vain. Congress to them - "you are not the boss here!" but we'll see if we need so many generals.

I noticed another thing:

It is known that the designers settled on the PAK DA version in the “flying wing” configuration. In other words, the aircraft will have no tail.

Vertical plumage will be completely absent ?! What is it like?

In this case, the aircraft itself will be subsonic.

But this is a step back, compared with the Tu-160.

Not. TU-160 created supersonic to break through enemy air defense. Now the supersonic function for the strategist is redundant, as the missiles are developed, the same X-101 / 102, and in the long run a long-range missile, which allows the strategist not to enter the enemy’s air defense zone at all.
PAK YES is conceived as a cheaper version of the strategic bomber. Another question is what the actual output will be.

The fact that he will take more load is promising, but the fact that he is subsonic is not a prospect.

Well, there’s an approach like this - the subsonic fuel consumption is lower, so the flight range is longer. And under the condition of flying at the same distance due to less fuel, the subsonic takes more bomb load than supersonic. Yes, and they wrote already above - far-reaching supersonic in the current conditions is not really needed ... Just use such an aircraft as a front-line bomber (as a replacement for the Tu-22) in my opinion is somehow not comme il faut ... Not for such tasks primarily intended.

No one denies, just stealth - this is just a nice trick and nothing more. Reduces the detection distance by 30 percent. Nice, but not a panacea. And it was originally amerikosy claimed that it was a panacea and it’s almost impossible to bring down stealth, that’s why they laughed (and still laugh)

A little off topic but also for the future:

[clidon]

Well, now they will begin to make the layout, then redo it, then blow it through. Then, in the year 27-28, the first flight, just when the Su-57 will go into series. Then the project will be canceled, saying that the Tu-160M2 which just in time for the year 2025 will go into production, it’s just abundant for a long time.

[Hypersound]

Joker. The first flight will be in 2 years, a maximum of 3. And the Su-57 has already gone into production, the first aircraft will be delivered to units in a few months

[clidon]

Even officially, he is in the year 20225m. The new Tu-160M ​​promised to take off in the 2016m. He is still not there. Su-57 did not go into series - these are two (!) Pre-production vehicles with old engines that will undergo military tests. But the real cars that will go to the troops, and not to the training ground, will not be soon.

[Vadim237]

No one will cancel it, since in the first place, he must replace the already obsolete Tu 95.

[clidon]

Tu-95 will fly for a long time.

[Vadim237]

Until the 2040s, and even units, how many do not upgrade them, and the airframe has a strength limit, according to alternating loads.

But the American B-52 has such a limit why not?

For this makes it possible to increase the flight range of the Dagger. What's the point in a subsonic carrier? Then the TU-95 can also be used as a carrier ...

Quote: Tochilka

but the regime still must be observed! a matter of national importance.

Is the title of the topic already a state secret? It is the "stupidity" in the names that misleads our sworn friends. Who could have guessed that a PGRK with a missile, in which a MIRV instead of a monoblock would bear the non-explanatory name "Yars"? Or, for example, the name, try to use them to determine what products are in question: "Belladonna", "Tusks", "Waste", "Draining", "Slavianover". We have developed a somewhat vicious practice, when not secret names suddenly became secret in the eyes of the relevant structures, and vice versa. For example, the technological (design) index of the 15Аххх or 8Кхх rocket has always been not secret, but in a conversation with the military, when it was usually a question of equipment samples, when asked how differently the missiles were called, for example R-9, I heard "Shh, you should talk about it out loud. " And then the index 8K75 followed. Although exactly the opposite. It was the R-9 that was considered secret, and the 8K75 was not secret.
A violation of the regime will occur when at this stage all the performance characteristics will be voiced (range, speed, engine type, fuel consumption, etc.)

[Hypersound]

Another plus - I’m sure that the development of our iron will be much cheaper than the $ 70 billion spent by the United States on the first B-2 (and the B-21 will be even more expensive). And each copy will not cost $ 1 billion, but much less

[Zomanus]

Well, if paired with the Tu-160 will be released, then the rules.
Still, you cannot refuse a supersonic strategist.
Although it is not yet known what weapons will be by then ...

[Sars]

Flying wing-deadlock in aviation, the most unstable in flight. All this is strange, or - disa.
It is possible that under the tales of stealth will be developed VKS.

[ODERVIT]

And where does such knowledge come from?

[Vadim237]

But from the point of view of aerodynamics - it is effective during take-off and carrying capacity, and instability in flight is compensated by computer control systems, a flap - a slat and other things.

[Sars]

Soviet magazines MK and TM widely covered this topic in 70-80.

[Sars]

Less than just the Americans could teach to fly wings more, thanks to powerful computers.

[Sars]

Any malfunction of electronics and all people cannot keep this device in flight.

[clidon]

Well, for example, just like the Su-27

[ODERVIT]

In numerous co-operation even draft designs are not fully prepared, not to mention RCD. Hazy somehow.

[askort154]

I read the comments and, in general, agree with everyone. Though opinions are "split".
We are here, lying on the couch, deciding the strategy for the development of aviation. Half of the world flies on our aircraft. And it would seem, why do we need all sorts of PAK YES when there is the world's largest supersonic strategic Tu-160. The Chinese still fly our Tu-16. But, in my opinion, this is what modern technological progress is about. In the 19-20 centuries, aviation was the leader of world technical progress, and it also opened the way to space. After the transition to mass rocketry and the "throw into space", aviation, scientifically and financially, "hung up". Is it worth investing finances in mass production of 5 generations, when science has already "started talking" about "robot-intelligence"? Therefore, now we have a century of "raskoryachki" - whether to invest in large series of Su-57, PAK DA, etc., roofing felts, while modernizing what is. It is already obvious that the technical capabilities are far behind the rapid development of IT technologies. For the same reason, we are in no hurry to "rivet" thousands of "Armats", and everything else. Western countries are also in no hurry .. Everyone is waiting for real projects from science. The world is on the border of technology creation, based on new physical principles.
The main thing for us is not to be left behind. Looks like we're even leading!

That is, it is B2. Doing the same, but so late? Since we are doing B2, should we sadly believe that his concept is the best to overcome, including our air defense, and there’s nothing better to come up with? Then the Americans are geniuses, they have come up with this and lied for a long time. I foresee the minuses, but my question is essentially not to belittle ours.

[Adimius38]

Yes, most likely the matter is simply the development of hundreds of billions. Why do we need a second B2, IF WE ourselves taunt that these invisibles are visible even with old air defense systems.

[loki565]

The design has been worked out since the 80s, + new materials, + engines that are already put on the modernized Tu-160 and Tu-22M3.
The main difficulty in the 80s was the stability in flight of the "tailless", since then programs for on-board computers have been developed (more precisely, the methods for creating such), all current Sushki and MIGs are stabilized by electronics.

Of course, "similar technical problems give rise to similar solutions." But for some reason, this does not satisfy everyone.
