hello and welcome to technology up day this month marks the fourth annual assembly of the international helicopter industry here in moscow it's a chance for companies to show off innovative concepts big business minute by their old bird and for us to find out what's changing in the world of russia and china. this year's show was the biggest bash yet raising the high standards set in years past the capital cities group has exposed over one hundred sixty companies that manufacture and design fly sell in supply helicopters in there parts from sixteen countries not to be outdone by some of the most popular european american models flown out for the show virtually every russian company involved in chopper construction was on hand for industry insiders as a place to exchange ideas business cards and maybe even bank account numbers to

nail down the kinds of sales in contracts everyone came looking for the russia is a playground where the machines we mostly sure overhead come down to earth from teetering with twenty models to trying out flight simulators to investigating new avionics outputs to high flying technology was all within reach. on a ride in the one seat chiron counter from but only as opting instead for an x. box connect tour of the latest russian v.i.p. can. i even got to play pilot for a few new friends only to find out the actual keys to the sleek swiss business class air taxi are just a bit out of my price range no amount of wheeling and dealing would get my editors to shell out the rubles to fly home in a new technology of the chopper. hello rush is full of new models new joint ventures and newcomers to both domestic and international markets they could even be said for the massive conglomerate russian

helicopters on the scene for less than half a decade but among its many daughter companies because on a helicopter factory is one place where innovative ideas have long been taking flight. this new image design. complex has long been the main production site of the most prolific helicopter in history the m.i. eight gets in time to long for a scenic flight during our visit where test pilots showed off not just that picturesque a sodger of russian monasteries with the agility is made to m.i.a. and it's in my seventeen export version the workhorse of helicopter fleets no world over. it's a full scale modernization program is underway for the seventeen v five the latest generation of best selling helicopters. it will see the addition of a number of functions upgraded flight deck equipment improved technical specs and performance we've played an important role in this program. but you don't know we

just. knew in my seventeen modifications and defeatist flexibility of their predecessors over eleven thousand of which have been produced over close to half a century and even before this family took flight because on plan helped launch the first ever serial production of soviet helicopters the first flock of flying machines was dubbed m i born after designer mikhail meal winning the approval of joseph stalin with a great fanfare at the nine hundred fifty one to sion air show the much heralded helicopters were assigned because on the production like the helicopters themselves the assembly lines are undergoing a modern make over increase quality and efficiency a swashplate frame is a crucial part of the mechanics of helicopter maneuverability and the old lines apart i just read three months of flavor new equipment that's now in place fresh frames take roughly a week the entire swashplate assembly totals over a dozen parts screws disks ball bearings and linkages the quality of which cannot

be compromised without damaging overall aerodynamics that same rule applies to each of the hundreds of moving parts that make up the modern helicopter so overhauling equipment is more than cosmetic not every component is for a new aircraft they're pumping out the inevitable. replacements as well as new and improved parts to service the hundreds of customers still operating their earlier models in some eighty countries well that's certainly good business the factory has recently branched out in the even bigger endeavors. when you're more new we reached a point where we realized the need to expand our product range of new line of helicopters the choice of the new helicopters size was no accident. market analysis showed the demand was most intense in the medium class helicopter segment those with a maximum takeoff weight in the three to three and a half thousand kina range. there was an element of risk involved since the cousin

helicopter plant had practically no prior experience of designing its own helicopters at that time. but in one thousand nine hundred ninety seven you because then helicopter factory joined the club of russian designers of europe just like any new project there were a string of opticals to overcome turning the design into reality nonetheless those difficulties were resolved one after the other and in late two thousand and four when you and sat received its transport helicopter certificate. not only was the inset the first ground of design experience for the khazan helicopter plant it was also the first start to finish russian aviation project after the breakup of the soviet union in a period where numerous quality concepts in the field were shelled and delayed the and sat down through prototype and test production in an impressive pace the basic layout of the new bird is exactly its genius because i'm design bureau had a history of russian helicopters they can be adapted for a broad spectrum of potential uses at their back they simply pushed

a new young charted waters and a highly desirable lighter load meet in hit a jackpot. becomes the name on such comes from a touch of wood that describes the design concept means. convenient these days it's common to talk about the products price quality ratio. we mean the set of options for our customers and we wanted to make this indicator as close as possible to the ideal dnssec can be converted into a multitude of modifications intended for the most common shopper usage between controlled trainer models for those just learning to fly medics are offered a life support systems of a flying. the basic transport model can hold nine passengers or up to a thousand kilos loads and if v.i.p. addition makes jumping comfortable for the select few. twenty first century integrated flight control technology makes the insaf marketable on the international stage it's the first civilian helicopter with the digital channels to

control pitch roll heading in attitude backed up by quadruple redundant sensors and actuators to ensure ideal maneuverability under virtually all conditions. with their first series ended at the factory is spread out over a broader than ever model range and as part of the new russian helicopters group since two thousand and seven they've been included in the forging of a flagship. helicopter factory is a collaborative project with the top players in russian and international avionics it's a new and improved family of choppers that's just starting to take flight the m i thirty eight despite years of uncertainty and controversy involving the project partners the improved second test model of the mit thirty eight made this first flight last december because on factory is joined on the project by the legendary nine. hundred thirty eight is a multi-purpose medium transport helicopter designed to update its mit and i

seventy ancestors it can hold up to five thousand kilograms of cargo in the spacious interior cabin an increase of fully a ton over early in my seventeen models capable of carrying exterior. go up to seven thousand philos and my thirty eight can cover an extended range of to thirteen hundred kilometers if it's weak with extra fuel tanks for mules headquarters just outside the russian capital it was a short flight over to the helo pad crocus center had ready for hello russia participants and also gas with their own traffic beating transportation understandably to meet thirty a place of honor and all the media attention it entails with the manufacturers of the helicopters components all gathered here at the exhibition it's a great chance to climb inside and find out what makes me thirty that way but if you watch glass cockpit is the somewhat deceptive term used to describe the modern make over increasingly applied to the pilot's control panel in new aircraft in place of the old in a lot of calcium gauges abortive digital displays present all the vital aviation

instrumentation. we've integrated multiple positioning a number geishas systems and it also has some advanced features such as ultimately dependence or valence broadcast and satellite guidance for both precision rescission final landing approach is ok it's a clue to the enhanced around proximity warning system which is already been tested on a range of early m.r.i. models and bureau. the feedback from the crew has been very positive and they say it really helps prevent controlled flight into terrain accidents it won't stand out aspect of this is them is that it runs a database of all flight hazards in russia that's a unique feature for this class of equipment. the emory thirty eight will also stand apart for being available with two different engines the first two prototypes have pratt and whitney canada p.w. one hundred motors while others will feature clear most t.v. seven one seventeen the one new capacities does the second version of the queen of

engine have. the technical features of the two engines are very similar but even with bush i see a great advantage in that the new engine has been developed in russia. and also good sat for more power takeoff while generally consuming less fuel. has a nasty system which allows an exuberant power units being stalled on board the helicopter which precipitates all field landing and takeoff but the biggest bonus of having two engine times is the increased ability to meet the needs of the customer. which no aircraft is going anywhere without lift and a helicopter that's all about the rotor blades the emily thirty eight can tip the scales with takeoff weight over fifteen thousand kilograms so it's equipped with six rotor blades to give it adequate lift power on early helicopters materials like the laminated wood in even fabric were used later giving way to steel and aluminum

structures as in many other components modern voter blades offer and who performance after a shift to composite materials like fiberglass the blade core is still formed by a lightweight aluminum honeycomb structure that expanded course affixed to a frame with a special he said to create panels these panels are covered with an outer layer of the composite materials in the sandwich construction further the panels are ranged along the backbone of the future helicopter blade what's called the spar or laws around at every step in the process new materials are being tested to increase the blades performance providing more lift for equivalent power or extending the working life of the blade this special day. it's the m.i. thirty eight uses are the best the industry has to offer. what's unique in our blade production is the degree of automation with the main load bearing element that strengthens the blade and under pens it's aerodynamics what we call a longer and is produced automatically by means of winding like. we're the only

ones with this technology nobody else in the world produces composite constructions by means of this technology and it's well known that composite material is not vulnerable to rotting or corroding but that means our blades can work for many years saving the customer's money it be also in producing these blades we've implemented the latest achievements of aviation science in the field of aerodynamics. prior to putting these new blades on the m i thirty eight we tested them on r.m.i. eight it was a meaningful breakthrough we discovered with these blades used on a regular m i eight helicopter was a full extra ton of lift. so if your typical m.i.a. eight can bear a load of three thousand kilos then you install these plates and without any change in engine power you can add on an additional one thousand kilos and still take off it's a great example of how innovations are having a qualitative practical impact on performance. that is beyond

a hell of russia like those innovations were on display this month when the mule factory hosted the first open press quite to show off the new test model full scale production may take until twenty fifty's but there might be eight has come a long way and the first attempts at launching a rotary wing aircraft started in earnest in the first half of the last century the dayton footage may look at bit goofy in hindsight but there was a decades long debate among designers before the ideal layout was settled on among the very first to get it right was alex it should your new kid with his son eat one and eat a helicopter. well that stands out as. the first russian helicopter that was able to take gold successfully. plus it's basically become the prototype for ninety five percent of the helicopters that have been designed in the world ever since. i think the rotor model with the tail rotor. and also

it shattered the world altitude record in one hundred thirty two reaching six hundred five meters. one more than thirty times higher than the previous mark or. if the italian machine before it could barely reach the roof of a five story building she'll move his helicopter flew as high as today's tallest skyscrapers but with the secrecy that surrounded his work at the central aero hydrodynamic institute sunday the soviet record went long unrecognized despite increasing agreement on the rotor and fuselage design not all the test flights were soaring success the meteoric rise of airplanes and the interruption of world war two delayed the wider application of pioneering ideas but the foundation of an industry and didn't like. it is modern aircraft are under careful control of far cry from the primitive machines that made the first big aviation breakthrough we traded in the limited manual systems for gyroscope orientation technology to. produce used to modern gadgets it may be hard to imagine

a world with gyroscopes they found their way into everything from space ships to smartphones and they're also behind the balance and control systems of these toy helicopters russian company in a lot is at the forefront of the industry and it's making this both possible kinda canonical what. we say we took the most interesting technology which is a vibration gyroscope in made it extremely inexpensive. were made it's through. changing the type of material that we used in the shape and. matured role in levs is far from the only company that seized on the opportunity to produce cheaply what was once almost pretty hip beautifully expensive technology they're making breakthroughs in simplifying the structure of their coriolis vibrating gyros. c.d.'s require just

a fraction of the components needed for mechanical gyroscopes of equivalent precision. in the labs uses inexpensive metals in place of pricey cords and is perfect it is cylindrical rather than a hemisphere shape. these device which stands extremely high level of truck. which stands very high level of vibrations and gamma doesn't afraid of radiation and doesn't afraid you know it doesn't care about a lot of different electromagnetic waves as long as the detroit exported ones quality gyroscopes are dim produced the range of potential uses is ever expanding in a lab c.v. g.'s can be used to orient all kinds of the aircraft in space remotely operated or autonomously operating vehicles like drones or robots navigation systems on a range of moving objects and even rotating in tennis drilling platforms. in

all the systems gyroscope so the king senses allow for the calculation of a moving objects angular velocity and then we integrate these signals and determine the rotation angle. i can demonstrated with our assets you can heading reference system. as i rotate this device it determines. integrates well and determines the attitude angle for your home market analysis is shown that maximally accurate compact and energy efficient systems are in the highest amount and so that's the market segment and our labs has ended. up owning all of us particularly as. they strive for new products in the labs understands how important this latest changes can be toben enough potentially new applications in with him new markets that's why so much energy and resources are expended on careful analysis of each new test system the constituent parts microelectronics ceramics

sensors and resonators are all tiny and sensitive in alliances looking for a break from particularly for the field of aviation coriolis vibrating more vibrating the structure gyroscopes have generally been limited to lower end navigation devices so in order to break into the demanding sector of inertial navigation systems for aircraft to attain unprecedented precision. can be used. three systems stabilization. of the direction. and the heading next generation system which should be coming out and about. to have gyroscope. one hundred somebody agree and that point it can be used on an edition system in place. when you don't have any other means of reference. if it's being lost in these extremely

important. especially when you do not see the ground. in moscow and. they already have clients. and if the current trend continues. as the gyroscopic systems get smaller. our shared air space is increasingly crowded with flying machines of all shapes and sizes and. the exhibition without any problems. to keep the skies safe. that's a top priority task for. us this state. institute for aviation systems thankfully communication and data transmission technology is developed as the demands on air space have intensified and the go c s t has an advanced set up for testing out ways to apply these explaining capabilities to the growing problem today's standard practices of air traffic control rely on technology long available

in virtually every corner of the globe mostly ground to air radio contact and radar tracking systems and what we have in place is affected far more often and not the occasional accident or a close call in the skies or on the runways points out the ever present potential for human error new systems hope to further reduce the danger. we're talking about is called automatic dependent surveillance broadcast. this is quite a promising developing field supported by the international civil aviation organization. that the u.s. is planning to make such as is the mandatory twenty twenty. europe projects implementation in the same. the same time frame has also been proposed for russia this means in the future their craft with the system will simply not be granted like permission. so what's the technology that will allow us to move away from the

familiar radar radio combo satellite navigation tracking systems like g.p.s. or glow not now offer comprehensive coverage they can provide far more accurate information about aircraft location motion and trajectory the biggest players in civil aircraft production boeing and airbus are already building their technology into new models but like many airlines resisting the call to upgrade planes they may be undercutting the future systems effectiveness by watching their bottom lines since the american protocol requires only. one way gate of transmission equipment this is not a full fledged a.d.'s based system it's effectively just a replacement for radars it is a much needed useful. efficient step in the right direction and expensive radars will be replaced with relatively complicated base stations our video for system paints a totally different picture this has the ability not just to receive information on the ground and also simultaneously send aircraft information on board as

a rectally without input from air traffic control systems this technology has already been developed the hardware exists in the r.c. malone has completed dozens hundreds of flights using this equipment and it's proven very effective to have this. this month perhaps the most ambitious public presentation of because he has designed a solution to date a five year craft involved included not just traditional man vessels but also unmanned drones an important new contender for space in the crowded clouds. in the future an air traffic controller will monitor both nuns and aircraft in a fully standardized. it won't see any difference between the two. the pilots of manned aircraft will see each other's planes you lead any drones on their screens. the same goes for operators of on monday aircraft. they'll be carrying out their work just like regular pilots unable to work on that the only difference being they're on the ground. and to choose an airfield outside of st petersburg the

pilots meant to carefully study the flight plan for a vehicle to m.i.a. choppers a lightweight motor glider and found his mid-sized. to haiti east with a smaller drone developed by russian companies going south around shortly thereafter as in normal civil aviation the three man craft each fly in a different designated altitude disorder in the southbound solid however on the same plane the plane calls for a point of intersection on the southern side of a rectangular space with a drone flying eastwards head on it the other four aircraft. systems should help the drone operators alter their course while also avoiding a catastrophic collision with the main. aircraft occupying higher altitude layers with their missions laid out in plain russian the pilots were left to suit up and strategize additional intrigue was added to the mix by an uninvited guest a stiff wind blowing north to south. of the bulls who continue to show pollution if

the mystical welcome. the other shows up. once the last of the germans had overcome the minor media illogical obstacle we had five birds not just in the sky but on everybody's flight monitors the test pilots quickly flew out of visual contact but their movement and relative positioning was all constantly communicated to the airfields a.s.b. day station new ground based drone operators fortunately had more than enough information to effectively avoid any collision. as everything went exactly according to plan c. a goal of the aircraft were able to track each other is a sponsor was able to monitor all the aircraft perfect ruthlessness so that it is just as well as the old soyuz rather they're going to the gold this confirms that the technology is absolutely functional not totally legitimate by the international

civil aviation standards now the task is to not be for its full scale implementation is that he goes to the us in moscow the process of perfecting a system for all possible flying objects pushes on the capital is perhaps the clearest example of how a heavy load on current air traffic control systems can be most of the choppers it hello russia had been flown in so we'd seen how hard it is to get the green light for a chopper mission over europe's biggest city the good news we're already embracing ideas to conquer the traffic jam in the sky as. the high tech helicopter industry is just starting to take off we're already at a time just much join us for more on the next technology update until then enjoy the raw. data.
