Title: Russia's new bomber program: PAK-DA
Post by: The Big Gimper on October 19, 2012, 07:13:13 AM

This week's issue of Flight International features the US and Russia's new bomber programs. Russia is hoping to develop the PAK-DA for entry into service in the mid-2020s. My colleague Vladimir Karnozov has written this story detailing the Russian efforts.

Interesting, I wasn't aware that VG wings were still a design feature that anyone was following.

The Russians seem to really like VG. its out of fashion here, but still pretty in vague there.
