alice cooper right and if it wasn't for intellectual property we could just play a bit of the song here but instead i'm going to have to sing it and i self so i still. but. all right that's our show please say on i don't burst the band account of our guests and topics and find me on facebook and twitter as always you can email me adam adam vs the man dot com and catch this broadcast live as it airs at r.t. dot com slash usa and on you tube this is out in kill kids from washington d.c. we'll see you at noon on saturday at the jefferson memorial bring your headphones.

culture is that so much of the taxpayers are coming into real trade. as leaders and people be it in france for more a question the usefulness of dissing the club of countries is it just a talking shop. up the.

street. 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 russian shop. 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 design fly sell and supply helicopters in their chords 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 it's a place to exchange ideas business cards and maybe even bank account numbers to nail down the kinds of sales and contracts everyone came looking for 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 guy flying technology was all within reach i took a green check on a ride in the part of sixty one c. chiron counter from but only as opting instead for an x. box connect tour of the latest russian b.i.g. characters. i even got to play pilot 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 new comers have 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 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 size of russian monasteries but the agility has made the m.i.a.'s and its in my seventeen export version the workhorse of helicopter fleets the world over. this

relates of a full scale modernization program is underway for seventeen v five with the latest generation of best sounding 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 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 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 like a straight three months of labor wholly 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 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 new 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 with a maximum takeoff weight in the free to three and a half hours in 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 ninety seven europe because then helicopter factory joined the club of russian designers of them just like any more project there were a string of all particles to overcome their turning the design into reality nonetheless those difficulties were resolved one after the other and in late two thousand and four a new 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 break up of the zombie union in a period where numerous quality concepts in the field were shelled they believe the ansett plowed through prototype and test production at 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 a jackpot. becomes the name on sad comes from a touch of word that describes the design concept it means. convenient news these days it's common to talk about the products price quality ratio 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 the insect 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 into the basic transport model can hold nine passengers or up to a thousand kilos loads and a v.i.p. addition makes jumping comfortable for the select few. twenty first century integrated flight control technology makes the incentive marketable on the international stage it's the first civilian helicopter with more 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 under their belt 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 a flag ship. fresh off the wings of the design 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 project partners the improved second test model of the m.i. during you 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 eight and my seventeen ancestors it can hold up to five thousand kilograms of cargo in the spacious interior cabin and increase in fully a ton over early in my seventeen miles capable of carrying exterior card. go up to seventy thousand kilos they might thirty eight can cover an extended range of to thirteen hundred kilometers if it's a week with extra fuel tanks for mules headquarters just outside the russian capital it was a short flight over to help a crocus center had ready for hell russia participants and also guess what their own traffic beating transportation understandably to me 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 the way that a future 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 and not a geisha system as it also has some advanced features such as automatic dependence or valence broadcast and satellite guidance for both precision and precision final landing approaches. it's a quick 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 and they say it really helps prevent controlled flight into terrain accidents it won't

stand out aspect of this is them is not a drones 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 cleaves t.v. seven one seventeen. 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 the if i see a great advantage in that the new engine has been developed in russia. it also puts out a more palate takeoff while generally consuming less fuel. has a nasty system which allows an exhilarating how units are being still don't board the helicopter which precipitates all field landing and takeoff but the biggest bonus of having to engine time creased 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 then my 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 for use later giving way to steel and aluminum structures as in many other components modern boater blades are for improved performance after a shift to composite materials like fiberglass the blade core is still formed by a lightweight aluminum honeycomb structure that expanded course at fixed to a frame with a special he said to create handles these panels are made 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 blades what's called a spar or launcher on 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 glue. it's the m.i. thirty eight uses are the best the industry has to offer. what's unique in our great production is the degree of automation the main load bearing element that strengthens the blade on depends it's aerodynamics what we call a longer and is produced automatically by means of winding. with 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 that means our blades can work for many years saving the customs money it could 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 the meaningful breakthrough we discovered with these blades used on

a regular m.i.a. telescope that was a full extra ton of lift. so if your typical m.i.a. it 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's. beyond the 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 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 didn't footage may look a bit and 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 in a helicopter. this 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. a single rotor 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 with. the italian 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 with the foundation of an industry and been only. 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 orientation technology. for those used to modern gadgets and 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 pushing the company into lots is at the forefront of the industry that's making this both possible kinda canonical what. we say we took the most interesting technology which is a vibrating gyroscope in media the extreme really inexpensive. were made it's

through. changing the type of material that we used in the shape in a for. all of this material. in levs is far from the only company that seized on the opportunity to produce cheaply what was once almost pretty 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 a lab uses inexpensive metals in place of pricey cords and is perfect it is cylindrical rather than a hemisphere shape. these devices were stance extremely high level of truck. stance 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 electronics to protect one's

quality gyroscopes have been produced a range of potential uses is ever expanding in the lab c.v. g.'s can be used to orient all kinds of the aircraft in space removed lee operated or autonomous lee operating vehicles like drones or robots never get insistence 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 enter great these signals and determine the rotation angle. and i can demonstrate it with heading reference system. as i rotate this device it determines. integrates it and determines the altitude angle. market analysis has shown that maximally accurate compact and energy efficient systems are in the highest among and so

that's the market segment and our labs has ended. up on you know of particularly. they strive for new products in the labs understands how important the slightest changes can be to opening up potentially new applications and with them 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 decision you know of jericho can be used. three systems stabilization it's the direction of the direction the nature of the heading and next generation system which should be coming out in

about one year from now will allow to have gyroscope in your high percentage one hundred sixty degree and at that point it can be used on an indication system release. when you don't have any other means of reference. if it's being lost he's extremely important. especially when you do not see the ground. in moscow and. they already have clients on four continents and if the current trend continues should get bigger as the gyroscopic systems get smaller. our shared space is increasingly crowded with flying machines of all shapes and sizes imo i can fly this many chopper at the exhibition without any problems the bigger need of new and improved tracking systems to keep the skies safe. this is

a top priority task for dispatch. 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 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 radio contact and radar tracking systems we have in place is affected far more often than 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. the u.s. is planning to make such a sr mandatory 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. so what's the technology that will allow us to move away from the familiar radar radio combo satellite navigation and tracking systems like g.p.s. are now offered comprehensive coverage they can provide far more accurate information about aircraft location and 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 data transmission equipment this is not a full fledged system it's effectively just

a replacement for it is a much needed useful. efficient step in the right direction expensive will be replaced with relatively complicated base stations. for system paints a totally different picture has the ability not just to receive information on the ground and it will also simultaneously send aircraft the information on poor it directly 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 you've missed this month perhaps the most ambitious public presentation of designed solution to date craft involved included not just traditional vessels but also unmanned drones an important new contender for space in the crowded class. and the future an air traffic controller will monitor both. their craft in

a fully standardized. controller won't see any difference between the two. the pilots of monday aircraft will see each other's planes he learned any drones on their screens. the same goes for operators of their craft. they'll be carrying out their work just like regular pilots. on that the only difference being they're on the ground. at the choosing 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 prime sauces midsized are to hate east with a small engine developed by russian companies going on shortly thereafter as in normal civil aviation the three man craft each flight in different has made it altitude. 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 alter their course 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 closer to sort of a gift of the bulls they're just beginning to feel so close and before them difficult to walk and. the other shows up at. once the last of the drones to 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 a.s.b. bay station to ground based drone operators fortunately had more than enough information

to effectively avoid any collision. as everything went exactly according to plan see if all of the aircraft were able to track each other if the dispatcher was able to monitor all the aircraft perfectly so they did it just as well as the whole soyuz show their going to the field this confirms that the technology is absolutely functional up totally legitimate by the international civil aviation standards now the task is to not be for his full scale implementation is that he draws us in moscow the process and 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 chopper said hello russia had been flown it 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 up we're already at a time just much join us for more on the next technology update until then enjoy the raw. data. i tell marvin here broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today on the big picture. looks . wealthy british. that's right.
