PAK YES program: halfway to success

Since 2009, PJSC Tupolev and other industry enterprises have been working on the “Long-range Aviation Complex aviation"(PAK YES). To date, design work has been completed, and the program is moving on to a new stage. Now the main task of its participants is the construction of an experienced bomber for testing.

Latest events


Not so long ago, at the beginning of last year, the final shape of the future PAK DA was approved. Domestic media then claimed that the documents necessary for the construction of experimental equipment had already appeared. In December, Deputy Defense Minister Alexei Krivoruchko spoke about the readiness of the preliminary design, the beginning of a new phase of work, as well as about the launch of the production of individual units of the experienced PAK DA.



On May 26, the TASS news agency announced the launch of the construction of an experimental aircraft. Information about this was obtained from two unnamed sources in the defense industry. According to one of the sources, by now the development of working design documentation has been completed; it has already been transferred to production.

One of the aircraft factories of the United Aircraft Corporation receives the necessary materials and now has to start manufacturing glider elements. The second source of TASS spoke about the beginning of the assembly of the cabin. He also noted that the prototype of the bomber will be completed in 2021.

The United Aircraft Corporation, Tupolev, or the Ministry of Defense have not officially announced the launch of the PAK DA construction. Perhaps press releases of this kind will appear later.

Expected Dates


To date, the planned deadlines for the implementation of the main stages of the PAK DA program have become known. In January, Izvestia gained access to one of the contracts between the Ministry of Defense and PJSC Tupolev, stipulating the creation of rescue equipment for the new bomber. This document refers to the timing of the various activities.

From the contract it follows that for the flight tests will build three experienced bombers. Preliminary tests of both all systems and aircraft as a whole will begin in 2023 and will last until 2025. At the beginning of 2026, state tests will start. Upon their successful completion, already in 2027 the launch of mass production may take place.

In parallel with the construction of experimental equipment, individual elements will be tested. In particular, work is continuing on a promising engine for PAK DA. This year it is planned to start testing the product at the stand, and then to raise it into the air with the help of a flying laboratory based on the Il-76 aircraft. Accurate information about the development of other on-board systems and assemblies is not yet available.

Estimated appearance


In recent years there have been fragmentary reports of various technical features of the future PAK DA. All this allows us to imagine the appearance of the aircraft, although without special details. The future role of such equipment in the troops is also known.


Another assumption. Graphics Rg.ru

It is reported that PAK DA will be a subsonic subtle bomber-bomber, built according to the "flying wing". This design allows you to get some increase in performance in comparison with existing samples of long-range aviation. For example, the maximum flight duration should exceed 30 hours, and the range without refueling will reach 15 thousand km.

According to various estimates, in terms of design, the PAK DA is fundamentally different from the existing long-range bombers. Modern and perspective materials and manufacturing technologies are used.

Especially for PAK DA, a new turbojet engine is being developed. The development of such a product has been conducted by the United Engine Corporation since 2018. This engine will have to provide a long flight with high subsonic speed. Maximum traction - 23 tf. According to different versions, due to the significant take-off mass, the bomber will receive four of these engines.

The crew of PAK DA includes four people. Probably, it will include two pilots, a navigator-operator and a navigator-navigator, as on the serial Tu-160. According to recent reports, 12 catapult seats were ordered for the construction of three prototype aircraft.

PAK DA must carry promising avionics with open architecture. This will provide the necessary characteristics, as well as simplify further upgrades. The press reports on the unification of PAK DA, Tu-22M3M and Tu-160M2 equipment. It also mentions the possible use of a complex set of viewing systems that provides surveillance of the entire surrounding space.

The available information about the armament of the aircraft is very interesting, but does not give any specifics. Officials mentioned compatibility with existing and promising strategic aviation weapons. In terms of combat load, it will surpass the Tu-160. It is possible to expand the range of ammunition at the expense of self-defense means - air-to-air missiles.


The same model, view from a different angle. Graphics Rg.ru

There are bolder assumptions. In near aviation circles, PAK DA "in the long term" expects electromagnetic, laser and other weapon on new principles. How likely this development is and whether such systems are needed by a long-range bomber is a separate question.

Reserve for the future


Obviously, the PAK DA project is being created with an eye on the next few decades. Serial construction of aircraft of this type will begin only in 2027, and the first squadrons will be able to form only by the beginning of the thirties. Due to the limited pace of production, PAK DA will initially only be an addition to the existing technology of various types.

However, the continuation of mass production will increase their share and gradually modernize the entire fleet of long-range aviation. It is assumed that in the first years of service, the PAK DA will be able to replace the aging Tu-95MS aircraft, similar in flight performance. Also, PAK DA will be able to take on part of the tasks of the Tu-22M3 and Tu-160 bombers. And only in a later period is the restructuring of long-range aviation possible, during which the PAK DA will acquire a leading role.

Given the timing of the start of service, it can be assumed that the PAK DA will remain in service, at least until the turn of the fifties and sixties. By this time, modern designs will go out of service, and new developments will replace them. The media and specialized resources are already discussing issues of further development of strategic missile carriers - so far, however, at the level of the most general considerations.

Half way


From the beginning of research work to the start of construction of the experimental PAK DA, a little more than 10 years have passed - a perfectly normal time for a project of such complexity. The construction started will take less than two years, after which the ground and flight tests will start. Four more years are allotted for verification and refinement. If the project does not encounter unexpected difficulties, mass production will be able to begin in 2027.

Thus, the Tupolev company and the aircraft industry as a whole have already done quite a lot to create a promising aircraft and future renewal of long-range aviation. However, no less needs to be done to make the existing project turn into finished equipment, ready for operation and service.

The project is actually halfway through, and now two issues are of most interest. The first is whether it will be possible to complete all the planned work on time? And the second, more interesting for the public, when will the exact appearance of PAK YES become known not only to a limited circle of people with appropriate tolerances?

        In this case, "halfway" is a few left-hand drawings and a couple of meaningless statements by anonymous stars (or invented by the most honest Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union in the world. The most honest since the name).

        With this halfway, determining the end of the path is easy.

      Perhaps two of them will be enough most of the time, and four of them will be to ensure some kind of shift: 30 hours of continuous flight, few will survive.

          Northrop B-2 Spirit has a crew = 2

          Creation has begun in 1979 year according to the program “Advanced Technologists Bomber”
          B-21 “Raider” will also have 2x

          Some of the main differences between the B-21 and the B-2. (Image Credit: US Air Force Aviationist)
          * The overall shape is similar to the B-2, but the B-21 is smaller in size
          * The B-21 front profile demonstrates a different design concept: in particular, the new aircraft does not seem to have the shape of the edge of its predecessor’s toothpicks; therefore, the peculiar B-2 “hawk-beak” profile is also lacking
          * B-21 has a different inlet configuration and mixed conformal engine nacelles.
          * The B-21 has an MLG with two wheels (Main Chassis)
          * The doors of the MLG and Nose Gear are different: in particular, the doors of the MLG are not trapezoidal, but have serrated edges, while the doors of the nasal gear are serrated and attached not to the leg of the gear, but on the right side of the compartment.

          WHY aircraft of the 21st century "navigator-operator and navigator-navigator"?

          And now the pilot who is engaged in piloting, navigation and power plant is archaism. "The violinist is not needed, he only eats excess fuel." Here's to understand the instruments in a tactical situation, and even if the enemy is not chewing snot - so far without a man in any way. He should only spur the horse, and bark "Take it out, darling." But do not think for the horse, how to move her legs, when to jump over the hillock.
          I think the Americans will remove these two too. They will leave on one "in the rear", and the drums in front will go empty.

          I think this is not the case. Fuel will increase for several minutes of flight, the engines are created with a thrust of 23 tons and there should be four of them. They will have a huge expense, removing two people will give an increase in range but not by much. And in the long flight so reliable and more fun.

            It's not just about increasing range. Minus 2 crew members are:
            - the release of a large amount of space under the compartment of weapons or fuel tanks, or reducing the size of the airframe itself by reducing the size of the cockpit
            - lightening the weight of an empty plane due to the weight of 2 pilots, ejection seats, etc.
            - a twofold reduction in the cost of training pilots, the costs of their maintenance, etc.
            And this is just what immediately comes to mind to a person who is not connected with aviation. But even this is very significant. No wonder the Americans have only 2 crew members on their strategists. And this amount is quite enough at the current level of development of avionics.

              Maybe there will be two, but about four it’s just disa. I think that the people who do this are definitely not stupid, and they can do such a task. Or maybe these crew members will but will not be engaged in what we all think. After all, they want to place explosives for self-defense there. Even somewhere I heard about the possibility of a long-range interception function, maybe one crew member will be engaged in air combat for example. And the second setting is various interference and airspace control.
              This is of course my fantasies. But everything is probably different than what we think and fools among those who are engaged in this business think too.

      Do not pretend to be valid for you. We will bring all programs to mass production. No need to throw on the fan. They got it already.
      May 28, 2020, AEX.RU - Kazan Aircraft Plant implements a large-scale technical re-equipment program and implements the State Defense Order. This was reported by the UAC press service following a working visit on May 27 by Oleg Bocharov, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, and Yury Slyusar, General Director of PJSC UAC, to Kazan Aviation Plant named after S.P. Gorbunova - a branch of PJSC Tupolev (as part of PJSC UAC under the control of the State Corporation Rostec).

      During the meeting, the General Director of PJSC Tupolev Alexander Konyukhov informed the leaders about the execution of production contracts. Oleg Bocharov and Yuri Slyusar got acquainted with the progress of the program for the resumption of the production of deeply upgraded Tu-160M ​​bombers, repair and modernization of Tu-160 combat aircraft, and the test program for the second prototype deeply upgraded Tu-22M3M.

      "The deputy minister and the head of the UAC also visited workshops equipped with new high-tech equipment of domestic production, capital construction facilities, in particular, the unit and final assembly building and the building of the design and engineering center, got acquainted with the reconstruction of the flight test base, within which new fuel is being built -fueling complex ", - said in the UAC.

Whatever the F-35, there are already more than half a thousand of them.

    Unlike the society of pessimists and all-pervading people, I liked the article. It is clear that development is underway, but the result is not clear yet for the developers. In addition, there is such a thing as "mystery". And the pictures are interesting. A nice unusual eroplane looms.

          so maybe it’s worth deciding who our enemy is (namely ENEMY Carl) in the XNUMXst century

          The enemy of the United States and in the long term possibly China. Perhaps, but not a fact. And Syria, Libya is a warm-up, so to speak. Local conflicts.
          but the T-14 is needed if we are going to take Europe again.

          T-14 to fight off Europe and the USA. In WWII, a united Europe, led by Germany, was going to take us, but couldn’t. They started, not us. I had to take Berlin. Forcedly. We didn’t want to take any Europe and do not want to take it. Not then, not now, but we need the potential to be beaten off in any situation. So we need T-14 and not only them.
          the same thing with aviation what you need; shock UAV or Strategist ???

          Both that and another. Now they are working on UAVs Orion, Okhotnik and on the strategists Tu-160M2, PAK DA. But the priority is definitely strategists. Guess why. The strategic bombers are incomparably more important for the country in view of its strategic and quality capabilities. This is a weapon of a different order than drones.
          and something I have a doubt that they will throw a Su-57 or this Super Bomber against spirits .. (even mattresses don’t do that) ..

          They arrived. During the assault on Mosul, the B-52N took a direct part and no drones dreamed of their effectiveness. The F-22 and F-35 were in Syria and Iraq. The F-35 was used to attack militants. Israel is also not embarrassed to use the F-35 for strikes in Syria and Iraq. UAVs have auxiliary functions and do not carry many bombs.
          MAX old men Su-25.

          And when they will be written off. What will they replace? Unmanned aerial vehicles or something? No aviation. New generation. Su-57.
          .and on .. then invest the loot in ..this is only for the sake of the next cut .. alas ..

          You don’t think about dough, but about the army protecting the interests of the country. It pays twice for the purchase. And it’s good when money is invested in the development of the military-industrial complex, in industry. Change the training manual.

    Even in the media, information flashed that the Ministry of Defense wanted to see anti-satellite weapons and air launch vehicles on the PAK DA bore. As well as the possibility of modular loading PSU, i.e. hypothetically, load all the compartments with V-V DB missiles and send them to pair with A-50 or A-100 - organize aerial A2AD.

    It is assumed that in the first years of service, the PAK DA will be able to replace the aging Tu-95MS aircraft, similar in flight performance. Also, PAK DA will be able to take on part of the tasks of the Tu-22M3 and Tu-160 bombers.

    It seems, as always, with the engines is not very.

    According to some versions, it was related to the PAK DA project.

    at source

    In black and white, in Russian it is written:
    commented on the head of the department of aerodynamics of aircraft and missiles TsAGI Anatoly Bolsunovsky.
    Formation Research long-haul passenger Aircraft of the “Flying Wing” scheme at TsAGI have been going on for more than 25 years. Previously, the main attention was paid to aircraft with extra-large passenger capacity - up to 1000 seats. Today, researchers are focused on smaller aircraft (up to 200 seats). Russia will be able to implement this project on its own, without attracting foreign partners.

    The LC scheme attracts specialists with the opportunity to obtain a very high aerodynamic quality of cruising flight (K ~ 23),

      and the "subsonic" version of the NK-32.

      What's wrong with my TZR, but oh well, let them at least do it.
      Aviaonics will probably be stuck there from the Tu-160M2, which is now being worked out in order to save money, therefore the crew is the same.

    With such characteristics (30 hours of flight), a replacement crew is clearly needed. In general, the flight within 25 hours was already on the Tu-160, albeit with refueling. There is indeed a potential for increasing the time (more economical subsonic flight, optimization of engines for a narrower operating mode and the space occupied by the wing rotary mechanism to be given for tanks). I hope they will take into account and 12 ejection seats for 3 test aircraft do not cancel the seats in the cockpit for the replacement crew (which will not be on the test vehicles).
