MOSCOW, May 26. / TASS /. Russia has begun construction of the first prototype strategic stealth bomber as part of the Advanced Aviation Complex for Long-Range Aviation (PAK DA, product 80). This was reported by TASS two sources in the military-industrial complex.
"One of the aircraft factories in the structure of the United Aircraft Corporation will be engaged in the manufacture of glider elements of the first machine, the development of detailed design documentation has been completed, and the supply of materials has begun," the source said.
As another TASS source specified, the aircraft cockpit is already being manufactured. "The final assembly of the entire machine should be completed in 2021," he said.
The Tupolev press service did not comment on TASS information about the start of production of the first PAK DA.
In December 2019, Russian Deputy Minister of Defense Alexei Krivoruchko in an interview with the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper said that the outline design of the aircraft was approved, PJSC Tupolev began to develop working design documentation, and the creation of parts and components of prototypes PAK DA was started. In February 2020, Krivoruchko said that the first engine for the PAK DA this year will be transferred to bench tests.
The new "strategist"
PAK YES is designed according to the “flying wing” scheme. In the design of the machine, technologies and materials that reduce visibility will be widely used (stealth technology). The aircraft will be able to carry existing and promising strategic cruise missiles, high-precision bombs, hypersonic weapons, and will be equipped with the latest communications and electronic warfare equipment. The machine will receive subsonic flight speed.
