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 concept big business men to buy their own birds and for us to find out what's changing in the world of russian chop. this year's show was the biggest bash yet raising the high standards set in years past the capital cities crocus expo center in over one hundred sixty companies that manufacture and design fly sell in supply helicopters in their parts from sixteen countries not to be outdone by some of the most popular european american models flown out to 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 comes down to earth from tutoring 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 car seat one seat chyron counter from but only as opting instead for an x. box connect tour of the latest russian v.i.p. camera. 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 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 new comers for both domestic and international markets they can 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 sergeant rushing monasteries with the agility has 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 profile scale modernization program is underway for the seventeen v five the latest generation of best sounding helicopters. it will see the addition of a number of functions upgraded flight deck equipment improved technical specs on the performance we've played an important role in this program. which is to. do in my seventeen modifications and to famous 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 one come flying machines was dubbed it and my morning after designer mikhail meal winning the approval of joseph stalin and with a great fanfare at the nine hundred fifty one to sion air show the much heralded helicopters were assigned you can sign up for production like the helicopters themselves the assembly lines are undergoing a modern make over increase quality efficiency a swashplate frame is a crucial part of the mechanics of helicopter universe realty and the old lines of code like this make 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 and screws disks ball bearings and linkages the quality of which cannot be compromised without damaging overall aerodynamics that seam 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 to 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. 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 were the maximum takeoff weight in the three to three and a half hours in keno range. there was an element of risk involved since the design helicopter plant 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 security just like any new project there were a string of obstacles to overcome turning the design into reality nonetheless those difficulties were resolved one after the other and in late two thousand and four and un sat received its transport helicopter certificate. not only was the inset 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 end sat plowed 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 a history of russian helicopters that 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 the chart comes from a touch of word that describes the design concept it means. convenient these days and. we wanted to make this indicate. dnssec can be converted into a multitude of modifications tended for the most common chopper usage between controlled trainer models for those just learning to fly medics are offered the life support systems of a flying in. the basic transport model can hold nine passengers or. loads and it makes a puddle jumping for the select few. twenty first century integrated flight control technology makes the inset marketable on the international stage it's the first civilian helicopter with 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. the factories spread out over a broader range and as part of the new russian helicopters group since two thousand and seven they've been included in the 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 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 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 age and my seventeen ancestors. five thousand kilograms of cargo and

a spacious interior cabin and increase in fully a ton over early in my seventeen models capable of carrying exterior. go up to seven thousand he wos 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 and crocus center had ready for hello russia participants and also gas with their own traffic speeding 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 the way that a future class cockpit is the somewhat deceptive term used to describe the modern make over increasingly applied a pilot's control panel in new aircraft in place of the old in a lot of bells and gauges a board of digital displays present all the vital aviation instrumentation. we've integrated multiple positioning

a number systems and it also has some advanced features such as automatic dependence or valence broadcast and satellite guidance for both precision and rescission final landing approaches. to the enhanced ground proximity warning system which is already been tested on a range of early m.r.i. models and the eurocopter. feedback from the cruise has been very positive and they say it really helps prevent controlled flight into train accidents one standout 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 the. 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 which i see a great advantage in them when you 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 exuberant power units to be installed on board the helicopter which precipitates all fuel 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 a lift and a helicopter that's all about the rotor blades and my thirty eight can tip the scales with takeoff weights over fifteen thousand kilograms so it's equipped with six rotor blades to give it adequately power on early helicopters materials like laminated wood and even fabric or used later giving way to steel and aluminum structures as in many other components modern voter blades offer him to perform and sapphira 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 being covered with an outer layer of the composite materials in the sandwich construction further the panel surveyance to long the backbone of the future helicopter blades what's called a spark 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. aides to mit thirty eight users 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 of the pens it's aerodynamics what we call a longer and is produced automatically by means of winding like. you were 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 to 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 years the meaningful breakthrough we discovered with these blades used on a regular m.r.i. a telescope that was a full extra ton of lift. so if you will typical and my age 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 is a great example of how innovations are having a qualitative practical impact on performance you know what. that is 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 fifty's 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 dayton 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 saudi one a helicopter. it stands out. the first russian helicopter that was able to take will successfully. close 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 that were 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 can tell a copper flew is high as today's tallest skyscraper just googled 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 great three we traded in a limited manual systems for gyroscope orientation technology to. produce used to modern gadgets it may be hard to imagine a world without scopes they found their way into everything from space ships to

smartphones and they're also behind the balanced and control systems of these toy helicopters bush and company in a lot is at the forefront of the industry is making this both possible and economical what. we 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 shape in a fit. what your role in a labs is far from the only company that seized on the opportunity to produce cheaply what was once almost pretty 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 device which stands 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 well as electronics to protect one's quality gyroscopes and been produced 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 and remotely operated or autonomous we operating vehicles like drones or robots never get insistence on a range of moving objects and even we're taking in ten is 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. i can demonstrated with acid change and heading reference system. as i rotate this device it determines. integrates it and determines the attitude and go to your home market analysis has shown that it maximally accurate compact and energy efficient as it used systems are in the highest amount and so that's the market segment and the labs has entered . the new of us law particularly. they strive for new products in the labs understands how important this latest changes can be so bringing 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 try breaking 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 person you know of jericho currently can be used in three systems stabilization it's the direction of the direction and the nature and the heading next generation system which should be coming out in about one year from now will allow to have gyroscope in your hyper station about one hundred sixty degree and that point it can be used in an indication system reduce helicopter ionise inertial navigation system allows you to know when you don't have any other means of reference g.p.s. or if it's being lost he's extremely important. especially when you cannot see the ground. operations out of the office is in moscow and shia but they already have

clients on four continents and if the current trend continues it should get bigger as the gyroscopic systems get smaller. our shared air space is increasingly crowded with flying machines of all shapes and sizes and while i can fly this mini chopper at the exhibition without any problems the bigger birds are needed new and improved smart tracking systems to keep the skies safe. that's a top priority task for the specialists at moscow's the us research estate. chance it's true for aviation systems thankfully communication and data transmission technology is developed as the demands on air space have intensified and they need as an advance 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

for 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 dependence surveillance broadcast. this is quite a promising you 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 spot on the same time frame has also been proposed for russia this means in the future the aircraft without 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 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 eighty s b one way data transmission equipment this is not a full fledged system it's effectively just a replacement for radars it is a much needed useful. efficient step in the right direction expensive will be replaced with relatively old complicated play stations. for system paints a totally different picture this has the ability not just to receive information on the ground and also simultaneously send aircraft the information on board to regulate without input from air traffic control systems this technology has already been developed the hardware exists in that our team alone has completed dozens

hundreds of flights using this equipment and it's proven very effective here in this. this month so perhaps the most in vicious public presentation of the design a.t.'s be solution to date five aircraft involved included not just traditional man vessels but also unmanned drones an important new contender for space in the crowd in class. in the future an air traffic controller will monitor both manned aircraft in a fully standardized. controller won't see any difference between the two. the pilots of manned aircraft will see each other's planes 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 i know the only difference being which 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. 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 around shortly thereafter as in normal civil aviation the three man craft each flight a different has made it altitude. however on the same plane the plane calls for action on the southern side of a rectangular space with a drone flying eastwards head on it the other. the a.t.'s speech system should help the drone operators alter their course while also avoiding a catastrophic collision with the main. aircraft occupying higher altitude layers and 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. dakota the polls there to be for show it was a bit of difficulty walking.

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. as everything went exactly according to plan c. of all of the aircraft were able to track each other it is the dispatcher was able to monitor all the aircraft perfectly good business and they did it just as well as the old sawyer they go 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 lobby for a full scale implementation this becky 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 that hello russia have 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 in bracing ideas to conquer the traffic jam in the sky as. the high tech helicopter industry is just starting to take off we're already out of time for this month join us for more on the next technology update and still that enjoy the right.
