a crucial part of the mechanics of helicopter maneuverability and the old lines apart like this great three months of labor to 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 bridgetown in the even bigger endeavors. open your mind of we have reached a point where we realize the need to expand our product range of new add to our

line of helicopters the choice of the new helicopters size was no accident. market analysis showed the demand was most intense and 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 nine hundred ninety seven because then helicopter factory joined the club of russian designers of their own just like any new project i'd there were a string of obstacles to overcome to 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 ansett the first ground of design experience for the design helicopter plane it was also the first start to finish russian aviation project after the

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 factories joined on the project by the legendary design. thirty eight is a multi-purpose medium transport helicopter designed to update its mit and my seventeen 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 cars. go up to seven thousand kilos they might thirty eight can cover an extended range 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 hello russia participants and also guests with their own traffic beating transportation understandably to meet thirty eight at 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 a wave and a future 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 dalziel gauges a board of digital displays present all the vital aviation instrumentation. we've integrated multiple positioning another geishas systems and it also has some advanced features such as automatic dependence or valence broadcast and satellite guidance for both persuasion and persuasion final landing approach is ok it's akin 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 cruise 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 cleamons t.v. seven one seventeen the one new capacities does the second version of the cream of engine have. the technical features of the two engines i'm very similar but even with which i see a great advantage in that the new engine has been developed in russia. and also sat for more power takeoff while generally consuming less fuel. as a national system which allows an exuberant power units being sold on board the helicopter which facilitates 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 adequately power on early helicopters materials like a laminated wood and even fabric for you later giving way to steel and aluminum structures as in many other components modern voter blades all for 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 along the backbone of the future helicopter blade what's called the spar or laws are on it every step of 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 delay. it's the mit thirty eight uses are the best the industry has to offer. what's unique in our blade production is the degree of automation that the main load bearing element that strengthens the blade and underpins its 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 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 am i eight it was 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 m.i.a. to compare 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 with the mule factory posted the first open press quite to show off the new test model for scale production may 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 they dated footage we look at getting 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 new kit with his sound one
1:45 am
a helicopter. well it stands out as. the first russian helicopter that was able to take all successfully. plus it's basically become the prototype for ninety five percent of the helicopters that have been designed in the world ever since. a single rotor model with a 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 you tell you the sheen 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 retreated into limited manual systems for gyroscope orientation technology. for those 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 pushing the company in a lot is at the forefront of the industry it's making this both possible kinda canonical what. we say if we took the most interesting technology which is a vibrating chair or stored in made it extremely inexpensive. we made it's

quality gyroscopes and in produce the range of potential uses is ever expanding in a lab c.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 oil 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 without acid student heading reference system but as i rotate this device it determines. integrates it 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 among
1:49 am
and so that's the market segment and our labs has ended. up on you all of you were pretty curious. they strive for new products in the labs understands how important the slightest changes can be told when you know potentially new applications in 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 or vibrating structure gyroscopes have generally been limited to lower end navigation devices in order to break into the demanding sector of inertial navigation systems for aircraft to attain unprecedented precision jericho currently can be used. three systems stabilization. of the direction. we're heading next generation system which should be coming out.

one hundred somebody agreed and at that point it can be used. when you don't have any of. these extremely important. especially when you see the ground. they already have. and if the train continues. as the gyroscopic systems get smaller. our shared space is increasingly crowded with flying machines and all shapes and sizes and the like and . the exhibition without any problems. tracking systems to keep the skies safe. that's
1:51 am
a top priority task for. this state. institute 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 far more often and not be 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. the u.s.

is planning to make such a system and the twenty twenty. projects implementation in the same. the same time frame has also been proposed for russia this means in the future aircraft 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 braid or radio combo satellite navigation tracking systems like g.p.s. or 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 line since the protocol requires only. one way data transmission equipment this is not a full fledged system it's effectively just a replacement for radars it is
1:53 am
a much needed useful. fission step in the right direction and expensive radars will be replaced with relatively own complicated 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 information on board to record 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 in this. this month perhaps the most ambitious public presentation of its design a.t.'s be solution to date five aircraft involved included not just traditional 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 manned and unmanned aircraft in a fully standardized. controller won't see any difference between the two. pilots

of monday aircraft will see each other's planes you lend 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 on your the only difference being they're on the ground. and to choose an airfield outside of st petersburg the pilots met to carefully study the flight plan for a vehicle to m.i.a. choppers a lightweight motor glider and runs off his mid-sized or to hate east with a smaller drone developed by russian companies going south down shortly thereafter as in normal civil aviation the three man craft each flight it different designated altitude. 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. system should help the drone

to effectively avoid any collision. as everything went exactly according to plan c. of all of the aircraft were able to track each other it is response it was able to monitor all the aircraft perfect as they did just as well as the old soyuz show they're going to the gold this confirms that the technology is absolutely functional not totally legitimate but international civil aviation standards now the task is to lobby for a full scale implementation. that he draws neots 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 chopper 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 sky as. the high tech helicopter industry is just starting to take up we're already at
