PAK-FA video!
Sgt. Nuker 30 Jan 2010
Personally, I don't believe it looks as nice as some of the concept art that was developed for the PAK-FA. The engines are set too far apart, and with the way the fuselage and wings are shaped, the entire plane seems more like an arrowhead, more than an aircraft. The pointed shape is fine on a bomber, like that of the B-2 Spirit, but for a fighter, I'm not so sure.
Beauty is in the eye of the be(er)holder, so from my perspective, the PAK-FA isn't as beautiful as the Berkut.

But I guess you can say form follows function which can explain the similarity between it and the FA-22 and the F35
And Nuker, I'm sure this isn't how th final version will look like. In fact it still needs its new engines.

Although I don't know if there were these videos of the PakFa before, I'm putting them here:
Frontal flight control elements of the wing (closest is probably the LEVCON on the HAL Tejas yet it's not the same thing):
PAK-FA T-50 2nd Test Flight Russian 5th Gen

"It looked sleek, mean, fast and deadly. I wouldn't mess with it." said the PAK FA afterwards.
EDIT: THX, Wizard
