face to face with the news makers on. a very warm welcome to you this is darcy live from moscow the headlines now a serbian court has ruled that general a mulatto is fit for extradition to the hague on charges of genocide despite his health problems he was arrested in serbia after sixteen years on the run spurring theories he was sacrificed to speed up e.u. membership. russia says it's ready to help push through after his resignation in libya if it brings about a ceasefire other world leaders at a g eight summit in france made
9:31 am
a plea for moscow to mediate an end to the conflict. and the georgian opposition warns of further protests despite the authorities crackdown on peaceful crowds on thursday they also accuse mikhail saakashvili the government of playing down the number of victims and the number of those missing. you would r.t. live from moscow live for a press conference out of the bill france where world leaders are addressing the closing of the g eight summit but for now the cream of russia's aviation for your next technology update it showcases high tech helicopter innovation. hello and welcome to technology update this month marks the fourth annual assembly of the international helicopter industry here in moscow it's
9:32 am
a chance for companies to show off innovative concepts of business minute by their own 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 raising the high standards set in years past the capital cities group of six. hundred sixty companies that manufacture design fly sell and supply helicopters in there parts from sixteen countries. by some of the most popular european american models 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 russia is a playground where the machines we mostly sure overhead comes 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. one seat.

opting instead for an x. box connect of the latest russian v.i.p. can. 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. the wheeling and dealing with 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 helicopter factory is one place where innovative ideas have been taking flight. this new image because on. complex has long been the main production site of the most prolific helicopter in history the m.i. eight we get sometimes along for

a scenic flight during our visit where test pilots showed off not just a picturesque a sodger russian monasteries with the agility is made the m.i.a.'s 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 played an important role in this program. budget and we just. knew him i said in the modifications that had to defeatist flexibility of their predecessors over eleven thousand of which had 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 the m.i.

one after designer me. winning the approval of joseph stalin and with 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 like this made 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 you're pumping out the inevitable. replacements as well as new improved parts to service the hundreds of customers still operating their earlier
9:36 am
models in some eighty countries well that's certainly good business the factory has recently brings down 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 near pad to our 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 were the maximum takeoff weight and the three to three and a half hour 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 seven because then helicopter factory joined the club of russian designers are just like any new project i don't want 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
9:37 am
when you and sat received its transport helicopter certificate. not only was the ansett the first ground of design experience for the design 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 shielding 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 on design bureau had the 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 the jackpot. the comfort of the name and sound comes from a touch of word that describes the design concept it means. convenient this is these days it's common to talk about the products price quality ratio and if by
9:38 am
quality we mean the set of options for our customers and we wanted to make this indicator as close as possible to the ideal for dnssec can be converted into a multitude of modifications intended for the most common shopper usage in tween controlled trainer models for those just learning to fly by medics are offered the life support systems of a flying in. the basic transport model can hold nine passengers or up to a thousand kilos and their v.i.p. addition makes puddle jumping comfortable for the select few. twenty first century integrated flight control technology makes the insan 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 from scratch series ended or the factories spread out over a broader than ever model range and as part of the new russian helicopters group
9:39 am
since two thousand and seven they've been included in the forging of a flagship. fresh off the lines of the design 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 three you made this first flight last december because on factory is 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 tonne over early m i seven phenols capable of carrying exterior card. go up to seven thousand philos and my 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 readied for helo russian participants and also guess with their own traffic getting transportation understandably to meet thirty eight had 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 their way to future class 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 gal's engages 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 precision rescission final landing approaches. it's akin to the enhanced ground proximity warning system which is already been tested on
9:41 am
a range of early m.r.i. models and bureau. 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 true is that it runs a database of all flight hazards in russia that's a unique feature for this class of the quick and. 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. new capacity says the second version of the cream of engine half. the technical features of the two engines are very similar. see 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. system which allows an exhilarating
9:42 am
power units being sold on board the helicopter which facilitates all field landing and takeoff and 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 through blades to give it adequate lift power on early helicopters materials like the laminated good and even fabric or use later giving way to steel and aluminum structures as in many other components modern boater 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 cores 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
9:43 am
a sandwich construction further the panels are arranged along the backbone of the future helicopter blades what's called a spar or laws around at every step in the process new materials are being tested for increase the blades performance providing more lift for equivalent power or extending the working life of the blade in the special blue. 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 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 one. or 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 blades can work for many years saving the customers money it also in producing these blades we've implemented the
9:44 am
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 the 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 conveyer 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 isn't there beyond a hell of russia like those innovations were on display this month when the new factory hosted the first open press quite to show off the new test model to scale production may take until twenty fifteen but then my thirty 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
9:45 am
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 be your new kit with his sunny one e.p.a. helicopter. well it stands out. the first russian helicopter that was able to take off 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 out that you recorded one hundred thirty two thousand six hundred five meters. one more than thirty times higher than the previous mark or with. 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 to 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 a far cry from the primitive machines that made the first big aviation breakthrough we traded in the limited manual systems for gyroscope orientations 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 company into lots is at the forefront of the industry it's making this both possible in economical what. we want to call
9:47 am
the most interesting technology which is a way of breaking gyroscope in made it extremely inexpensive. were made it's through. changing the type of material that are used in the shaping of. all of this material well in a levs is far from the only company did 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.g.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 devices
9:48 am
were stance extremely high level of truck. which stands very high level of vibrations and gamma doesn't afraid of radiation doesn't afraid you know it doesn't care about a lot of different electromagnetic waves as long as a neutron is protected 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 autonomous lee operating vehicles like drones of robots navigation systems on a range of moving objects and even rotating in tennis drilling platforms. in all the systems gyroscope so the key sensors allow for the calculation of a moving objects angular velocity and then we integrate these signals and determine the rotation angle. i can demonstrate it with our last acute and heading reference system. as i rotate this device it determines. integrates
9:49 am
well and determines the attitude angle. analysis has shown that maximally accurate compact and energy efficient attitude systems are in the highest amount and so that's the market segment and our labs has ended. particularly as. they strive for new products in the labs understands how important the slightest changes can be told when 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 breakthrough particularly for the field of aviation coriolis vibrating or vibrating 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. jericho currently can be used. three times stabilisation it's the direction of the direction and the nature of the heading next generation system which should be coming out. from. here hyper station one hundred seventy three and at that point it can be used only to give. you. when you don't have any other means of reference. to see if it's being lost these extremely important. especially when you do not see the ground. offices in moscow and. they already have clients on four continents and if the train continues their market should get bigger as the gyroscopic systems get smaller. space is increasingly crowded with flying machines of
9:51 am
all shapes and sizes. many of the exhibition without any problems the bigger need of new and improved smart tracking systems to keep the skies safe. that's a top priority task for. us this state. institute for evolution systems thankfully communication in view transmission technology is developed as. drugs for interrupting technology operators that we have to live now after the french result of the real work russian president dmitri medvedev is addressing those in attendance at the closing of the g eight summit let's listen. talk to our music would you maybe not all of you enjoy the weather but nobody is going
9:52 am
to fill if and when the weather is like that so i hope everybody's happy. i think it's enough. that it's opening remarks and i'm a careful disposal could gauge your colleagues please don't forget to introduce yourselves named the media you're representing and please raise your hand so that i could see you. argument there and fuck the newspaper. your question. don't forget to make please look some of this nation i like sanda coalition each other because women tend to. have will not stand up because. i've told you for your colleagues are you satisfied with the result is a question of your initiatives in nuclear energy and safety of nuclear energy and changes in the rules will be substantial and sufficient and. you think that those new restrictions would undermine his own certain countries to develop nuclear only cheap yes thank you for the question i'm satisfied with the discussion of
9:53 am
nuclear safety issue recently i mention your once a letter to a number of heads of states to all peachy eight states and during yesterday's session one of the sessions that was dedicated to the security outside explained our position once again it provides. for a better system of rapid notification of incidents and higher responsibility so you call countries that are developing nuclear energy ration in the second term and possibility of the books of touch more serious stress tests and requirements to countries that. become new users of nuclear an agenda hope that chilled me in june this issue will be once again previewed at the relevant to the summit that he hated specifically to the matter now as to whether this would reduce interest rates nuclear energy as you know all my colleagues said. it is very
9:54 am
difficult trial was traumatic for me. very dire scenario that happened in japan but nobody could name and alternative that they would be able to take in the place of nuclear and hydro carbons well i'm sure you've already used extensively to produce energy but nobody is happy because all and gas are expensive green technology is just they're all very good but so far they can only account for. the large one for small share of demand at some states although of course with money use them to the maximum so we're not seeing any tangible alternative and even on those countries that have strong concerns about nuclear energy understand can't believe that we need to be. very. reasonable we need to choose very cautiously state morning especially our plants and create better
9:55 am
protection mechanisms all those nuclear power plants from insurgents and of course all sort of natural disasters in that tsunami earthquake or whatever and in that sense everything will be just fine. we discussed this. topic at length with the japanese prime minister mr khan and bear in mind that our countries use nuclear energy and in light of the. dramatic events in japan or neighbors we decided to establish full fledged cooperation question to writers room to nietzsche. which was what was most of your negotiations which he knows very well because he just and was hurt more than once that russia should act as mediator in libya i think we can now say that pressures agreed to this suggestion why did you take such
9:56 am
decision what opportunities should you receive put pressure how would it be technically arranged does it mean that russian delegation will go to tripoli or will we host allegation from pre-planned the most important question do you believe that gadhafi is stepping down is a precondition for the settlement process. see that is the well you who are always in favor of peaceful settlement of the problem by negotiation the gravest possible consultations that would engage both those parties that are unhappy about the sea change i think for me at least the system works in favor of changing political system probably very beginning beast machines and supporters of gadhafi and the existing political system alike we are in touch with both parties as you know russia did not interrupt implementing relations but a country where in very close touch we hosted representatives of the new
9:57 am
forces that are located in benghazi and of course we cannot take consultations with representatives of political forces and police. because i had to tell the political team. that is really supporting the current leader i believe that in any case it would be useful in there because we're trying to bring your bring closer prochoice probably more so reduce reasons of all ask violence and fortunately the balance still continues and in that sense the sooner. you are able to thirty nine to military action the sooner the milch out ration is the better i believe. hold on the. people in libya for years in the west more interested in things libya is independent with three issues and new york state not just blitzer is all another part. someone will label one verdict one case of both the book of prediction center
9:58 am
national and international your state where the interest of all she said resumes would be a third of all people that live on them and learn the laws moves to discuss two of your. possible involvement in most of the consultation with. partners i suggest if you have just mediate your. and there we read it could be a slogan or seems was already engaged in this national day of answering your last question on the you still expect the gap to gratian you see that little regard for you regime has lost its legitimacy. and i stepped out and this was approved unilaterally next question please is based on your space. which is answers to the reason i say such an account such as a result of the region which president obama just said and you highlighted in modern first previously that you have very good friendly relations with the current us president who manage to approve very difficult but we should start treaty you
9:59 am
got great nicely on that conference chair is much also mentioned that each card will continue but there are big ideas by the a national interest does that mean that so far. we're putting aside each missile defense. and us are not supporting your suggestions or have there been any advancements while i have no secrets are you something you team especially on a simple issue as us know it wasn't so bad i'm not. going to be u.s. response going to my ship just response i'm only very countryside because well trained in tribes of them and we'll go yesterday i was sorry. you were going to be by any of the deadline was a good fit what is trying to say is in the year you went to the world all day she's dealing with the system of this so-called adaptive approach will be its own elyse after they had twenty twenty weddings unless we find it really meant going to world real arms training you seem well.
