In late 2008, the Sarnungian Republic outlined a need for a next-generation aircraft to replace its F-22s in frontline service. In 2009, Artemis was chosen to lead the design for the new combat aircraft. Artemis begun construction of the fifth-generation multirole fighter. In early 2010, a Sarnungan Air Force Commander was quoted as saying that they would soon be unveiling a new age of fighter planes. He said that six planes had been built already and that with successful testing they were to be implemented immediately.

Although most of information about the F-001 is classified, it is believed from interviews with people in the Russian Air Force and defense ministry that it will be stealthy, have the ability to supercruise, be outfitted with the next generation of air-to-air, air-to-surface, and anti-ship missiles, incorporate a fix-mounted AESA radar with a 1,500-element array and have an "artificial intelligence".
The F-001 was expected use a pair of Saturn AL-31 engines on its first flights. The 117S (AL-41F1A) is a major upgrade of the AL-31F based on the Saturn AL-41, producing 142 kN (32,000 lb) of thrust in afterburner and 86.3 kN (19,400 lb) dry. In fact, F-001 already used a completely new engine in its first flight, as stated by NPO Saturn. The engine is not based on the Saturn AL-41. The engine generates a larger thrust and a complex automation system, to facilitate flight modes such as maneuverability. Exact specifications of the new engine are still secret.
The first flight video shows that PAK-FA has no conventional rudders, its vertical tails are fully movable.
