Boeing 787 ZA001 with chief test pilot Mike Carriker at controls will make three-day stop at MAKS en route to Japan, arriving on August, 15 and staying at static exposition on August 16 and 17
 
Both T-50s, T50-1 and T50-2, will participate in flight demo at MAKS 2011
PAVs only will be shown in the air
 
Tactical Missile Corporation (KTRV) will reveal its 200 km RVV-BD long-range AAM intended for the internal carriage on T-50 fighter
 
Things to look for:

-Will they finally let the MiG MFI sit in the static display? Or the Su-47?

-Will they display an R-33S?
 
Do you know if PAK FA's will land/takeoff from Zhukovsky when they will have display, or will it be from a different airfield?
 
have mixed info on that. last official statement - variant #1
 
Buran Article '2.01' (30-50% ready flyable orbiter), transported in June, 2011 to LII from Tushino scrapyard, will be exhibited at MAKS 2011

An-225 will not be displayed afterall btw. And i won't be on this years MAKS, Gregory. Just didn't work out with the School etc. :-\
 
otherwise, I saw it back in 2003...
 
I was fortunate to see the An-225 with the Buran shuttle on top at the 1989 Le Bourget air show. Seeing this behemoth mistel both on the ground and flying over the airport was a unique experience that was never matched. What a sad ending for both the Burans, really... Fortunately the An-225 is still doing mighty fine. Wish they had built more!

Yes, that was the plan, and they planned to display it then. So it is just a nice bonus they have already done some work on one side, and decided to display it. :)
 
Well, what's under that curtain??? ;) http://i073.radikal.ru/1108/1c/ab6ab15b9545.jpg
My guess
1. T-50
2. UCAV
3. Su-30SM - version of the Su-30MKI for thr Russian Airforce
4. 2-seat T-50...
 
kind of

I'm still waiting to see how those little "missile bays" at the wing roots work.
 
collective mind came into conclusion that doors should open down to not interfere with LES
moreover, T50-0 photo seemingly has part of fast bay door internals catched on camera
I did insist that they are opened up, seems that I was mistaken
