You can see this in any airshow by F-22 or F-35, they are no different to Su-57 in how much smoke they produce, only they are Western products and therefore beyond any doubt or any questioning  clown

    yes I know the transition always results in smoke, but it still seems to me that Russian planes have a larger smoke window then Western planes although this has improved quite a bit since the earl Mig-29. AL-31s never were smoky.

    Physics says that this "issue" is pure inanity.   The size of objects matters to EM wave interaction with them.   Even a high frequency signal
    is going to have a low scattering cross section for small objects.   You simply cannot dial up the return signal by changing the frequency
    arbitrarily.   There is a gain from using shorter wavelengths, but it saturates quickly.   And higher frequency EM is attenuated more by
    atmospheric moisture and aerosols so it ain't no panacea.  

    The rivet fags are ignorant twits who never got a proper education.   They are internet fanbois fantasizing that they are engineer designers.
    That is why these Dunning-Kruger prats are always lecturing Sukhoi and all of Russia.   These fanbois are cringeworthy losers.

    The radar blockers in the inlet ducts is another fanboi retard topic.    Those Su-57 inlets are clearly stealth designs having the characteristic
    parallelogram shape with the added twist of inward curved lips that prevent direct line of sight inside the inlets for most angles of attack.  
    So many losers over the last 10 years have been stroking their ignorant dicks over this subject.  They always use some line of sight above
    the plane of the jet.  Are NATzO radar systems deployed kilometers above the ground?  



    I'm just wondering, how would these people determine the degree of impact on the RCS for this aircraft?

    There is something seriously wrong with the coating on that jet. It is like rust under paint one gets from shoddy preparation
    of the surface. This is not a car exposed to winter road salt. This is a high tech device that never gets exposed to salt
    at all. I also doubt it ever saw any deicing fluid during its life.

    It looks like moisture is able to enter at some of these seams and the freeze-thaw cycle is peeling off the coating similar to
    what rust does to paint. But of course these issues are not important for fanbois since fanbois do not care about objective
    analysis and only care about dick stroking self-affirmation through vicarious "achievement".

You can see what a smart phone camera can do with such a small aperture. But couple that same system to a larger aperture and the result would be proportionally superior. So there is really no replacement for a good old large lens or reflector either in a satellite or smartphone.
    As for geostationary satellites, unless someone figures out how to launch a 25 meter (just a guess) aperture telescope there, we can safely forget getting any useful details from an image taken from there.

    If that was possible, we would never know until they tell us. They are developing a lot of missiles for the Su-57, so we just don't know. But seeing similarly sized missiles with similar clearances in other planes proves the possibility is real.

    But that is impossible, Lockheed said they had the doormats at their factory made with that RAM material and it was like new after many months of use... clown (actually they said that)

    I have not noticed any relevant difference between Su-57 and F-22/35 in that regard.

    My thinking revolves around the potential to use a small focusing apparatus coupled with a high resolution CCD to get real time
    detection of small objects from an LEO vantage point. Detecting 10+ meter objects from LEO is not impossible with small satellites:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPOT_(satellite)

    https://earth.esa.int/web/eoportal/satellite-missions/s/spot-6-7

    So Musk's Pentagon funded Starlink can serve this purpose even if the size of each satellite is smaller than SPOT. A bus sized
    satellite is not needed. And we are not talking about micro satellites.

    The smoke nonsense requires context. Depending on relative humidity, you will have rapid formation of cloud droplets from
    the aerosol formation induced by the jet engine emissions. People think this is actual coarse mode aerosol emitted by the
    engine when it is nothing of the sort.

    I've been looking forever for this, but thanks to Cyberspec it's been found again finally! Ever wonder why the Su-57 didn't get flat nozzles? Well the USSR developed them and used them on a testbed Su-27, and found that it reduced thrust by a ridiculous 15%, and they actually developed a better solution to reduce thermal signature for the engine nozzles...
    Heat / IR sig reduction system for Su-57. According to the chart, it reduces the IR sig from the engine exhaust by 3 - 3.5 times. Details are classified but it's assumed an aerosol substance is injected into the exhaust

    From what I can see it seems to take bypass air to cool the afterburner nozzles and create a "sleeve" of cooler air around the exhaust. The beauty of this is when you cut the burners none of the exterior metal bits will be very hot and the flares will be more effective in decoying IR missiles. Its possible there is also water or alcohol the pilot can use to further cool the exhaust in an emergency.

    No you can't.  Both are white due to Mie scattering. Their intrinsic colour does not dominate.

    So what is exactly the point you are making? That Russian jet engines are garbage compared to western wonders? Because
    Russians lack the engineering and science base to understand combustion?

    Maybe you should go to a NATzO fanboi forum.

    Point I am making is it is normal for engines to smoke when power settings are varied rapidly. geez

    In some cases that may be true, but in the case of the pic its clearly not water vapor.

    Great find. I think it is not only about IR signature reduction. When I lookd at those Sukhois in MAKS flying and than when making bell figure, they stand still for a long period of time with full afterburner. I was wondering, how they manage to cool the structure. Usually jets with afterburner fly fast and flow of air cooling down the structure, but in this case there is no flow of air as it stand still. So this system of reducing IR signature also is cooling engine structure, so it could fly very slow or stand still with full afterburners.
