hello and welcome to technology update 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 expo center over one hundred sixty companies that manufacture and design fly sell and supply helicopters again their parts from sixteen countries not to be outdone by some of the most popular european american models flown out of the show virtually every russian company involved in chopper construction was on hand for industry insiders it's 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 tearing with twenty models to trying out flight simulators to investigating new

avionics outputs to high flying technology was all within reach i took a rain check on a ride in the pharmacy one seat chiron counter from but only as opting instead for an x. box connect tour of the latest russian v.i.p. chemical. 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 has on. complex has long been the main production site of

the most prolific helicopter in history the m.i. eight we get to tag along for a scenic flight during our visit where test pilots showed up not just that picturesque a sodger russian monasteries with the agility has made the m.i.a.'s and its in my seventeen export version the workhorse of helicopter fleets known world over. the way 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. budget and we just. knew in my seventeen modifications and to phase 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 clay and helped launch

the first ever serial production of soviet helicopters the first flock of flying machines was dubbed the mit one after designer me frail me winning the approval of joseph stalin and with a great fanfare at the one nine hundred fifty one touche an air show that 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 line support i just read three months of labor code 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. look when you're more you know we reached a point where we realized the need to expand our product range of near pad to our line of helicopters the choice of the new helicopters size was no accident. market analysis showed that demand was most intense in the medium class helicopter segment those with a maximum takeoff weight in the free to three and a half ounce and kilo range. there was an element of risk involved since the khazan helicopter plant had practically no prior experience of designing its own helicopters at that time. but in one thousand nine hundred seven because then helicopter factory joined the club of russian designers of their own spirit just like any new project i'd there were

a string of opticals to overcome turning the design into reality none the less 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 ansett the first ground of design experience for the cars on helicopter plane 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 end sat down through prototype and test production in an impressive pace the basic layout of the new bird is exactly its genius because on design bureau had the history of russian helicopters it 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 the jackpot. become for the name on such comes from a touch of word that describes the design concept it means. convenient these days

it's common to talk about. the set of options. we wanted to make this indicate to us closest to the. d.n.c. can be converted into a multitude of modifications intended for the most common or usage in tween controlled trainer models for those just learning to fly medics are offered a life support systems of a flying in. their basic transport can hold nine passengers or. loads and the v.i.p.'s makes puddle jumping for the select few. twenty first century integrated flight control technology makes the incept 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 the factories 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 the flagship. helicopter factories 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 made this first flight last december because on factory is joined on the project by the legendary. thirty eight is a multi-purpose medium transport helicopter designed to update its mit and my 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 seventeen miles capable of carrying exterior. so up to seven

thousand philos am i thirty eight can cover an extended range of up 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 helo russia participants and also gas with their own traffic beating transportation understandably to meet thirty eight place of honor and all the media attention that 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 analog gauges abortive digital displays present all the vital aviation instrumentation. we've integrated multiple positioning another geishas systems used it also has some advanced features such as ultimately dependence or valence broadcast and satellite guidance for both precision and precision final

landing approaches. it's akin to the enhanced ground proximity warning system which is already been tested on a range of early m.r.i. models and the euro cup to. the feedback from the cruise has been very positive they say it really helps prevent controlled flight into terrain accidents it won't stand out aspect of this is them is not a drone is 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. one new capacities does the second version of a queen of engine have. the technical features of a two engines i'm very similar but even with bush i see a great advantage in that the new engine has been developed in russia. it also puts

out more power to a cold while generally consuming less fuel. has a nasty system which allows an exhilarating power units be installed on board the helicopter which riseth saves all field landing and takeoff but the biggest bonus of having to engine time creased ability to meet the needs of a customer. which no aircraft is going anywhere without lift and the helicopter that's all about the rotor blades 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 a laminated wood and 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 light 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 being covered with an outer layer of the composite materials in the sandwich construction further pain 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 and the special blue. it's been in my thirty eight uses are the best the industry has to offer. looks unique in our blade production is the degree of automation that the main load bearing element strengthens the blade and on the pens it's aerodynamics what we call a longer and is produced automatically by means of winding. or the only ones with this technology nobody else in the world produces composition 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 our m i ate a meaningful breakthrough we discovered with these blades used on a regular am i eight helicopter was a full extra ton of lift. so if your typical am i 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 you know what. 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 to scale production make take until twenty fifteen but then my thirty eight has come

a long way. the first attempts at launching a rotary wing aircraft started in earnest in the first half of the last century the dated footage me look a 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 be your kid with his son he'd want to be a helicopter. it 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 rover model with a tail rotor. and also has 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 town machine before it could barely reach the roof of

a five story building. 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 really. today's 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. for those used to modern gadgets maybe 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 and economical what. we say is we took the most interesting technology which is a vibrating gyroscope in made it extremely inexpensive. were made it's through. changing the type of material that we used in the shaping of. but your role in the labs is far from the only company that seized on the opportunity to produce cheaply what was once almost pretty good 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 in a cylindrical rather than 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 doesn't free you know it doesn't care about. a lot of different electromagnetic waves as long as they try to support it once quality gyroscopes again produced a range of potential uses is it 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 sensors allow for the calculation of a moving objects angular velocity and then we integrate the signals and determine the rotation angle. i can demonstrate it with our attitude and heading reference

system. as i rotate this device it determines. integrates well and determines the altitude angle for your home market analysis as shown the 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. particularly as. they strive for new products in the labs understands how important the slightest changes can be opening up 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 the labs is looking for a break from particularly for the field of aviation coriolis vibrating or 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. can be used. three systems stabilization it's the correction of the direction the nature of the heading next generation system which should be coming out in about one year. will allow to have gyroscope. one hundred sixty degree point it can be used on any given system or use. when you don't have any. reference. if it's being lost these extremely important. especially when you do not see the ground. they already have clients on four continents and if the train continues. the

gyroscopic systems get smaller. our shared space is increasingly crowded with flying machines and all shapes and sizes. many of the exhibition without any problems the bigger need of new and improved systems to keep the skies safe. that's a top priority task for. this state. in-situ for aviation systems thankfully communication and data transmission technology is developed as the demands on air space have intensified and the team has an advanced set up for testing out ways to apply these expanding 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 effective form. 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. euro projects implementation in the same. the same time frame has also been proposed for russia. in the future aircraft with the system will simply not be granted 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. are now offered comprehensive coverage they can provide far more accurate information about aircraft locations motion and trajectory the biggest players in

civil aircraft production boeing and airbus are already building their technology into new models like many airlines resisting the call to upgrade planes they may be undercutting the future systems effectiveness by watching their bottom line since the protocol requires only. one way data transmission equipment resident this is not a full fledged system it's effectively just a replacement for it is a much needed useful. step in the right direction and expensive will be replaced with relatively uncomplicated base stations our video for system paints a totally different picture has the ability not just to receive information on the ground and also simultaneously send aircraft the information on board regularly without input from air traffic control systems this technology has already been developed the hardware exists our team alone has completed dozens hundreds of flights using this equipment and it's proven very effective in this. this month

perhaps the most in vicious public presentation of the designed e.s.p. solution to date the five aircraft involved included not just traditional man vessels but also unmanned drones an important new contender for space in the crowded class. in the future an air traffic controller will monitor both. 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 he learned any drones on their screens . the same goes for operators of craft. they'll be carrying out their work just like regular pilots and the only difference being there on the ground. at the choosing airfield outside of st petersburg the pilots to carefully study the flight plan for a vehicle to m.i.a. choppers a lightweight motor glider and found sauces midsized are to haiti east with

a smaller russian companies going south down shortly thereafter as in normal civil aviation aircraft each flight a different designated altitude he's. found solid however on the same plane the plane calls for a point of intersection on the southern side of space with a drone flying eastwards head on it the other. system should help the drone operators. also avoiding a catastrophic collision with the main. aircraft occupying higher altitude layers with their missions laid out in plain russian and 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 ball because you're going to feel so close and if the mystical think what. the other shows up at. once the last of the germans had overcome the minor

meteorological 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 e.s.p. base station the ground based drone operators fortunately had more than enough information to effectively avoid any collision. and everything went exactly according to plan c. a goal of the aircraft were able to track each other is the dispatcher was able to monitor all the aircraft perfectly as they did just as well as the old soyuz going to the gold this confirms that the technology is absolutely functional not totally legitimate plenty international civil aviation standards now the task is to lobby for a full scale implementation. that he draws near us in moscow the process of perfecting the system for all possible flying objects pushes on the capital is perhaps the

clearest example of how heavy the load on current air traffic control systems can be most of the choppers said 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 skies. the high tech helicopter industry is just starting to take off we're already at a time just what threw us for more on the next technology update until then enjoy the raw. data.
