two thousand and eleven right now. world's. bringing you the latest in science and technology from around the world. we've got the future covered. hello again a welcome to fall into the show on r.t. i'm out with all that and today we'll talk about next to the tenth international n.v.h. and sprayed show is kicking off just outside moscow this russian aviation show will house planes and truth all over the world business people are flocking to strike

a multimillion dollar contract and visitors odd gathering to watch downlinked air performances of russian head of foreign aid what else do the organizers have up their sleeve here's the director of the match having a nation show in their bodies so they had the russian industry department you wouldn't see this on. the international education space shuttle or max was launched in russia just two decades ago but has managed to gain weight very quickly financial experts note the deals done at the russian and shows not yet as big as the world's oldest the paris and show. but unlike its french counterpart max is growing rapidly which gives businessman reason for optimism the last max so deals worth over ten billion dollars and this year organizers surely want to beat it. is nice to see you. know what place does next occupy among other international air

shows and how is it different from them. well i believe that it's not quite appropriate to assess this event in terms of places you know i don't mean whether it's number one or second best etc what i mean is what makes max special because every air show has something special about it. that's rides all the major international and shows that take place in paris london russia china something that makes them different. max definitely ranks among the top five world and shows. makes it different from all the other shows is probably that we have the most interesting and spectacular flying demonstrations. this is the air show is taking place in russia. and naturally everybody is expecting to see some new russian aircraft anything new this year it will i prefer not to reveal the surprises we

have prepared for our visitors but. what you have to write. for the first time will display the fifth generation fighter jet pack. that we take pride in the jihad as it's our main achievement in the military aircraft manufacturing industry in the past two years but now the second project type is ready and we are happy to present the jet to the visitors. so this is perhaps the most anticipated model russian aircraft. generally speaking air show will be different from the previous maps airshows because we'll have many heavy and super savvy aircraft on display. for example we expect to see a three eighty airliner at our show. for the first time

after the airshow will also display. and two twenty five aircraft of the heaviest aircraft in the world. the only super heavy transportation the american c. five galaxy will also be displayed on the ground as well as a number of other aircraft which boggle the mind not only by deer's technical solutions but also by their design. for aerobatic teams. actually five you know are they going to demonstrate the fifth generation fighter jets you've mentioned or not yet . mr beech you know there are no aerobatic teams for these generation fighter jets as yet naturally we hope to see it in the future but currently unfortunately russian flood groups are flying the jets that have been tested and used for about. fifteen or even twenty years. of the su twenty

seven want to be as you thirty and the me twenty nine do they need reliable jets for the kind of things they do yes. for and pilots are going to be there. this year we won't be able to treat all visitors to an aerobatic show. of hands and recall or it would have been so popular with the russian public no one else. will have foreign pilots flying the us air fifteen eagle and the french. and the italians see twenty seven cars or plane or. some one of. the latter is a unique cargo plane that p. forms aerobatics. from the show the planes the aerobatics. business and contracts. any contracts at this year's air show if you do

not mind disclosing this information of course. yes there are some contracts that we would live to keep yourselves for now. we wanted to be a surprise to everyone but also beaking in general if we think the business part of the air shows are really important it is an integral part of any exhibition. business opportunity to go up in the run up to maps as well as during the air show itself this gets. a lot of meetings involving aircraft manufacturers and festivals from all related fields but there will be many business forums and conferences during maps where a wide range of issues related to airplanes helicopters and chance and so forth will be discussed this was a contracts it was the most important deal among those i'm free to mention now at least expected contract between united aircraft corporation and united corp these are two russian companies that plan to sign an amel you on that purchase so if new

p.t. fourteen agents for the new m s twenty one aircraft but there is an innovative and highly important project it is because it will provide contracts for the enchants that will be produced in twenty fourth scene and twenty fourteen and installed on the planes that will be needed in twenty sixteen and twenty seventeen but yet many parameters will become clear their characteristics their process and there is delivery terms this makes it much easier for the corporation to launch these products on the market this year as they did with this you know i have been following news from the recent air show in paris but you tell me he's i may be wrong i got an impression that the business is dying out in the united states and europe. we end all eyes are turned on the asian markets which soon more than half of all flights worldwide will be departing from or landing in china. over is it

true that the asian market is developing so fast and is so robust as to attract all the aircraft. the factories the airlines and so forth. as far as airlines are concerned my colleagues from the transportation ministry could give you more information on the issue of chile new logistic kreutz the world air traffic map and some forecasts for the twenty twenty twenty thirty s clearly indicates that the share of asia especially southeast asia and chinese grown. nearly increasing are actually skyrocketing but i think there were two tendencies that are developing simultaneously but they are not directly related to each other on the one hand the number of flights to and from me she's on the rise on the other hand what you said about the atmosphere at the paris air show unfortunately i wasn't there but i think i know what you're talking about because new ambitious employers are answering to the aircraft manufacturing market in their new projects neighborhood and then to

the. eighty s and building the new players from canada brazil china japan and of course russia reaching for those market segments that were traditionally be doing may know did y'all poorly in the choice each player has used brawls and cones and. chances for success and problems but they certainly pose a threat to those who used to dominate the market but these things are not discussed today or shows. next we'll have a section dedicated to young people and their experience in aircraft technology would you please tell us more about this exposition what will be there in display and generally does the fact that you have such an exposition i mean there is no lack of young professionals in your industry. sort of. of course it does. max is a big event and we don't limit our program to business meetings and conferences but

it that is also important too to us. instil patrick his men our young people. we have had this section for a number of years. five years or more. there is a section for college students and another one for children. in the college student section and we offer an opportunity for all the universities related to our industry to display their projects. their innovative technologies and so forth. in the children's section we announce the winners of our long contest. the best projects are displayed and mr putin traditionally visits this pavilion and receives presents at so it's a kind of a tradition you know. last year we had

a jump there and i think we will do it again this year. the idea is to bring together university graduates and potential employers i hope it works with. students in children to produce something real value for manufacturing i mean something apart from presents for mr putin if we wish. let me answer this question he said. the truly does not matter what they display this is the point is that they should be creative. the main purpose of this action is to demonstrate the creative potential we have in our college students. and it is really not that important whether their work will be used in the future as part of some serious research course at the core remain just an academic project say.

spotlight will be back shortly right after a break. let's tell it so there's no way to say what you. want. to eat. the heirloom is absent to the boxer to exit.

the alps. it used to be an ideal place for a holiday but it changed in a moment. i. got the winds of war are still visible. the republic is not only relieved but also shaping the future. welcome back to spotlight norman just a rumor and did it my guests on the show today by the general director of the international aviation space show and the director of the industry department.

mr bruce are another item on the agenda of the next two thousand eleven airshow is a conference on the trends in prospects for aviation in russia. what are your expectations of this conference do you hope to get more subsidies from your government b.b. . this conference will provide a platform for an in-depth discussion of the new government program for the aviation industry. has been and was working on this document for the past eighteen months and we hope to finalize our work in time for a max present ari conclusions at this conference. and we hope that the comments caps some constructive feedback will receive at this conference will help us to finalize the program it is a fundamental document for the industries you see that is up for the nats that

fifteen years. then was presented to the government this spring right. what we presented in spring was just a concept which outline immunity is of the program currently we are working on the final text of the program. the objectives of this program we want russia to regain its spot among the world's top three nations in the aviation industry it's mainly to revive regional and traffic. the primary objective involves several seconds or objectives one of which is to revive local air traffic which was well developed in soviet times but with time regrettably declining we need to recover in this segment . i am going to try out some secrets all right. there have been numerous reports in the media saying russia is working on a super fast helicopter and they will develop the speed of four hundred kilometers per hour is this helicopter ready to be showcasing it at the air show i would

actually refer you to mr ceasar here with this question as he is much better informed of all sorts of secrets while we do as organizers is provide a venue where they came and the veil of a secret exactly that's what i mean. actually i mean really russian helicopters have always been very popular are we going to see any breakthrough helicopter technologies this time. yes there will be some very interesting exhibits i'd rather keep it secret for now and instead invite our viewers to visit max and see it all for themselves thanks but it will be a fascinating show in addition to airplanes there will be a helicopter session provided by. there will be new models and some interesting exhibits but i'll keep the secret for now. and i have a question for you. in one of your recent interviews you said we would like to learn from brazil the model the use to support their aircraft manufacturing

industry or indeed brazil started from scratch very good progress in just a few years i think their manufacturing what. five hundred planes a year so what is this president model and why have you picked it over say the seventh model which actually works well airplanes ranks among the best in the world this is true of course we're willing to incorporate the best of soviet practices but we think that the brazilian model is very interesting and especially efficient at their start up phase and that's where we are now with the maturity of our projects we're starting off excuse me for interrupting and i just want to ask if we know it started face that and presumably means nothing if what we had before is actually survived and we have to build everything from scratch again fortunately some things have been preserved it is probably not a start up but a follow up if we talk about the industry on the whole you're right i was talking about specific projects for instance there is the am i eight helicopter which has been flying for forty years now but still accounts for

a major share of our sales in the sale so this helicopter has been growing year in year out it will both in terms of numbers and in terms of revenues or which we are eternally grateful to its design or that you but on the other hand there is the am a store new one plane that we have high hopes for it is currently at the design stage in a week specially to be ready by two thousand and fifteen i'm talking here about the new aircraft there are only entering the market like a super jet or a n one forty eight and other airplanes and helicopters with these aircraft having a good financial package is of crucial importance in your lines no longer purchased aircraft alone they purchased a service a product that's why the products cost in a pool a terrible importance in this sense the brazil and system has been very helpful for us it has enabled us to ship the relations between the state in the industry in such a way that the government has taken it upon itself to finance expensive aviation projects as well as provide the lowest possible interest rates unfortunately proud banks in russia still maintain high interest rates so we cannot take commercial

loans with a terminal for ten to fifteen years and run profitable projects if we arrange government support of the industry quoting to the brazilian system of providing for . minimal interest rates is that your business plan can accommodate that would generally ensure the kind of competitive performance that we're aiming at that is what the brazilian system is all about things. he has mentioned the superjet. this year. yes we will it's not going to be the first time it goes in display or are you going to show any new features that you. know there are no new features. we demonstrated all the new features of the previous max show your million and others i mean you see this year's show will be out tenth and this year's moto is our max but always a premiere for the premier that would. be jet was the premiere last year and had this max show as yuri has said it will unveil the fifth generation fighter jet but

this doesn't mean that all of the aircraft will be brand new actually our shows also feature aircraft that were designed and constructed ten or twenty years ago and what matters is that we present them as a product for the market is what did the designers and manufacturers look forward to meeting their prospective customers if you try because your customers that attend macs they're not only foreigners are they yes there are both russians and foreigners so how much do you reach out to promote the superjet domestically because this is a big issue every time a plane crashes and i'm sorry to mention this but it just can't be ignored like this most recent crash of the t.v. one thirty four that was about six everybody started seeing you can't fly these planes any longer they're barely outdated there are new planes but nobody buys them is that the case. well indeed this failure to market new aircraft is an issue for government policies to address at this point russia's banking system and project financing mechanism and not efficient enough to meet the needs of consumers that is

russian airlines we hope what yuri was talking about is happens at the end of the day. about max itself but it is an opportunity for a businessman to meet and talk business programs all flight program and even the static exhibition offer a lot of opportunities for face to face dialogue there are customers can come and take a close look at those aircraft touch them try them out and so on as this is the superjet is in demand i would add that from the point of view of russia's domestic market released we should do is to offer new aircraft to airlines on financial terms that would allow them to replace old aircraft was new once the new aircraft should be marketed primarily in russia when you feel when there are media for the domestic market and one forty eight. to land on turf airstrips such as those most airports in russia have especially in the north and in the forest region our primary goal is to promote russian made planes on the russian market is in

a fury mention the am one forty eight airplane and a new model be a and one fifty eight will be rolled out of the upcoming next show this is another new model we have. ports for repeated mention upcoming projects in the twenty twenty jet because you can tell us about this project what kind of aircraft are we talking about is it really going to be a breakthrough is it on would have to you what is this project all about. what is the breakthrough that someone at this point the twenty twenty chair is purely a concept project we cannot even define its basic characteristics. you. don't even know whether it will fly horizontally or vertically yes so whether it will be a passenger or a cargo ship. then you can still see twenty twenty chat is a craft that will help us take up ten percent of the global market which is what

our strategy calls for looking for initial yes we're looking for a product that would help us bring our share up to ten percent. we're looking for two things on the one hand we're looking for a niche on the other hand we're reviewing our current are and. determine the area where we have a good chance of achieving a real breakthrough notice you can't answer the market unless you have a breakthrough product so a combination of our marketing research in our india efforts will eventually define what this twenty twenty chata look like. my final question is for both of you both . to promote. an industry on a global scale. today twenty years after the disintegration of the soviet union and the decline in collapse of the russian aircraft manufacturing industry we say we're not really far behind global industry leaders are we beginning to catch up with companies such as boeing and airbus. we have started this process which

is a big step in itself. we haven't entered the race that's right i would even say we have jumped on to the last car leaving train but we were not left standing on the platform so this is good it could have been much worse. as you can be building things instead of the aircraft in the someone who rides but we're getting new aircraft we managed to retain some of our potential and as yuri said we are at the start ups or a follow up stage were to not say the start up process is underway and we hold that united aircraft corporation will be successful within the nishi dr panis. yes we have a chance thank you thank you very much both of you for being with us and just a reminder that my guests today were. director. and. director. department that's it put out from paul's here if you want to have your

sales spotlight you have someone who are and. how did. t.v. dots are here and let's keep plants interact back with more first and common sound ones going on outside russia until then they are to take. this is a cable from the u.s. embassy in colombo to talk about here an apparent june seventh incident of extrajudicial executions the military according to the press that on that day that killed nine guerrillas and from that investigation by instructs you including you know and the strongly suggest however that the nine were executed by the army and

then dressed in military fatigues. explain how you know this kind of phenomenon where bodies are dressed up as guerrillas and presented as killed in action and this and this idea that you need to produce bodies actually encouraged paramilitary collaboration this is a cia document central intelligence agency they knew about these activities they knew they were happening they knew about links to paramilitary groups and yet u.s. aid continued to flow.
