where the planet's premier aerospace pioneers have come to show off their latest high flying hard to find water too deep for the best of the best to soar above the rest and the legendary coastie airfield in suburban moscow reached the very place named after an early russian hero dynamics genius this year was a tense time around for this festival flight since it started nine hundred ninety three with over eight hundred companies representing thirty countries the biggest draw for the year shows more than half a million guests will surely be in-flight action movie business will also want to build racking up some ten billion dollars in deals even with all the international big shots bringing their wares russia's open secret made the biggest book is this who had caught fire chief if he finally broke out from behind the closed doors covering its development fly for crowds in cameras for the first time it's a fifth generation stealth fighter jet propelled russia's air force deep into the twenty first century each maxie's new headlines and highlights like this to hoist

superjet in two thousand and nine to two thousand and eleven is already a new decade with new projects like the whole badger did your shin cargo and passenger jets in russia's civil aviation pipeline. undoubtedly the most notable newcomer is here could and see twenty one with a full scale cabin model on display for the very first time its final boarding call for a glimpse to the future of this short and mid range commercial one. the single while narrow body can see twenty one is actually an emerging family two hundred three hundred and four hundred modifications forthcoming will be capable of transporting anywhere from one fifty to over two hundred passengers per flight at a range starting at thirty five hundred to five thousand kilometers potentially up to seven thousand to future cabin designs are easily transformable to increase comfort or capacity to total order to make these planes and internationally competitive aircraft rests on the shoulders of the. corporation on the strength of

over seventy five years at its factory in the siberian city of you could see the company hopes not only to bring in reinforcements for the aging to mystic to pull f one five four fleets put also challenge the dominance of giants boeing and airbus in this market segment thankfully they're not starting from square one with a steady flow of skilled scientists and engineers from russian aerospace schools making the project all the more promising. we're designing this plane with a wide range of international partners inside russia this means working with research institutes for aero hundred dynamics aviation materials and aviation technologies plus the state institute of aviation systems is helping design the airplanes digital components for a walk before you see twenty one will be offered with engine options either pratt and whitney s p w forty eight hundred g. or the specially designed new p.t. for keep a project of russia's top you'd be getting around tusk is to provide the advantage of cheaper engines without compromising performance parameters and available

resources most importantly in terms of the lifecycle cost as compared to our competitors abroad of a mother of a it's important to point out that we're regarding this engine as the platform on the basis of which engines will be designed for the home line of these airplanes to p.t. fourteen is projected to meet and exceed international standards on fuel consumption emissions and noise pollution new engines are restored but they aren't the only have a free for the year could jet. are leading aerodynamics is issued sagi made a crucial contribution to this project their experts produced a new concept for wing design it has an altogether new profile for supercritical airfoils all of their work helps greatly improve the plane's aerodynamics in addition to the super critical design high wing aspect ratio on a wide reaching airplane is a further aerodynamic advantage but it's largely what the wings are made. they can . visit if it's here you can see it compass it wing goes for the m c twenty one

airliner it uses unique advanced technology what's called vacuum and fusion in a joint project between the main design an aero composite and the sukhoi companies design bureau on the russian side as well as. the material supply side to it from the us these materials and technologies have made it possible to improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing reduce its weight and as a result increase the airplane fuel efficiency by up to twelve percent of so. there are an awful lot of parts to fall into place for a passenger plane to break into the country a commercial market for the m c twenty one is ari taking its first strides into a sunny future. board the prototype cabinet to moscow air show i could already get a feel for how a flight on the airliner might one day be automated latches open oversized luggage bins spacious seats in both business and economy and of course

a screening every seat. as passengers were most concerned with smooth sailing tourist destination enhanced by every available amenity the carriers are all about the bottom line three m. c. twenty one models allow for everything from spacious mixed class layouts to the tighter tour operator scheme that makes the most out of every last row in any combination airplanes will remain wider than traditional single aisle jets just enough extra aisle space to eliminate the annoying service cards squeezed by a train simul style. from the flight deck pilots also enjoy every perk of twenty first century aviation with multi-functional they'll see how put panels to integrate the latest in digitize flight controls. those pilot wings thing runway obviously this model's not exactly here we're here could is playing for twenty one by twenty four teams so there should be more progress. ported the next three blocks this year's most triumphal entry went to the brand new long awaited seventy seven

dreamliner from boeing which had just wrapped up test flights for u.s. federal aviation administration certification at its home base outside seattle washington with one of the nine trial seven eight seven straight up for a short getaway mox visitors got a glimpse at the latest widebody boeing field is the company's most advanced most fuel efficient airplane ever and which russian flagship airline i don't float said to take twenty two of the new dreamliner. crews from faraway seattle a future customers a good preview of what the modern machine is capable of. it was a very into a bowl of easy flight we used a lot of the automation on the airplane to make the pilot work load i always feel a little as possible. so the autopilot course was used all of those use just monitor through those systems the airplane is equipped with some yell see an

automatic inclusion reporting so far so we took advantage of all those things we didn't have to make the standard position reports on the h.f. radio airplanes system did those reports for us so very very enjoyable plus russia was hardly a random choice for the dreamliner visit as moscow is home to boeing's biggest engineering office outside the u.s. the eleven hour time difference from the west coast headquarters to russia's capital being fit company has around the clock engineering operations within aerospace tradition they grew up alongside and even at times ahead of the american and european schools russia provides a bridge pool of specialists that was a big deal in developing the dreamliner the think about the russian contribution to this aero korea i think that i would say that materials and it would enable us to main areas. the partnership in russia made it possible for me probably to say

that this airplane wouldn't happen without our russian partners in terms of design russian engineers complete claim to the nose cone structure that leads to seventy seven skyward they pitched in on the electrical systems or conditioning they designed a crucial getting huge of the wing that provides lift the pylon from the engines and even added some player to the passenger friendly interior. when it comes to simply airplanes there are parts and then there are parts and it's largely thanks to unique new components that boeing is promising a twenty percent bump in efficiency they could help the dreamliner as operators cut two point four million dollars per plane per year this efficiency would be impossible without key parts like this body cord connecting the we need to fuselage made entirely of russian composite materials this source of these all important materials this would all boeing a joint venture between the aircraft company and via sim p.o.v smoking the producer of fully a quarter of the world's titanium its it would all boeing in russia stood last

region the unique take chief meloy car turned into the backbone of the seventy seven breakthroughs in material science achieved here are a major reason the world can expect a lighter stronger more eco friendly airplanes in the coming years. we are no design in seven eight nine that's the next minute occasional this airplane which will be bigger will carry more passengers a two hundred eighty passengers to a longer distance that airplane. and two in service in two years and where there would be a design in this airplane would also paid a lot of attention to the other there were interest and pro shippey in moscow called seven four seven dash eight that brought it goes all in parallel so it's seven in so it's the case one flight tests and will continue to work on the improvement so this airplanes and ensure that there would. interesting projects including the small airplanes that the russian he has will continue to boy with for

now all eyes are on the upcoming commercial gold out of the first three miners due within the next month for delivery to japanese carrier a.n.e. and that's just the beginning boeing racked up over eight hundred sales for the new standard bearing jet before it even made its first test flight so expect them soon in an airport near you not home to new music box or commercial jetliners and for many the far flung sparsely populated russian regions bigger isn't necessarily better it's with an eye on regional small craft aviation it has been developed and it's already one attention it mocks for greater than its size the assembly lines at some marist sask a progress helped put the first soviet cost not seen orbit and propel generations of the barren spacecraft skyward for more than a half century of its history so it's an auspicious starting place for what will be the first post soviet small aircraft first serial production designed by engineers at moscow based technology it's intended to combine modern performance and avionics

with a rugged all condition reliability needed to serve russia's regions. to the know how all the design is can be seen in several solutions employed on this airplane it is excellent ironic properties including the a full insuring great performance and even a low velocity as its landing gear is very good and allows you to land the aircraft on some standard if he'll. stand strong winds very we'll with the isometric engines also feel very good performance which is particularly important for multi engine aircraft and also is a significant advantage in china aircraft. before recent show flew in to take its place at the air show in moscow we had a chance to climb aboard for one of its certification testing flights in the western russian city of smullyan.

conditions of the former military airport are luxuries compared to the remote airstrips the research office built to access but it's a good base for monitoring in servicing the newborn aircraft while it gets its wings in the field they can take off and land from dirt lift off with one of its two engines disabled and provide crew and passengers with emergency oxygen if flight conditions demand a climb above thirty six hundred meters experience test pilots like even a month ago and of which the light airplane around curves with performance parameters to establish these trial flights are no relaxing total jumps once it makes muster with russian aviation regulators the first batch are due for delivery to a flight school in lenin's hometown we honest. it really stands out for its modern flight control equipment which in practice and i was eric out of the students who have mastered this machine to transition easily to modern passenger jet line is. good when research old kids to market it won't just be raising

a new generation of skilled pilots it will also help revive an important eastern sector that suffered from post so be economic belt tightening and an aging fleet of light aircraft would reduce a choke and recent changes to airspace regulations the range and flexibility of multi-purpose general aviation should be back on russia's enormous map. this excessiveness a choke and a potential for expansion in russia's small aircraft sector has drawn the interest and the involvement of some of the country's biggest producers that includes the new makers of many millions and now work on a domestic legal tension. both at their moscow airshow display in on their assembly lines salute is most distinguished for powering the skies bigger beasts in the soviet era there are fifteen three hundred push the record breaking making twenty five interceptor unprecedented speeds in altitude to data dating repair and . the engines from the air thirty one f.

cruising speed in takeoff distance well because unless gas is a more profitable for you. sue for seventeen seems to be the engines lucky number projected to be seventy kilograms lighter than the walter model and you seventeen percent less fuel so it's still just figures the t.v. five hundred s. is shaping up to be a highly competitive engine for small turbo prop planes so few technical solutions have laid a good foundation for the development of a future engine right now we are talking about the gas generator so hopeful to complete development of a new engine by twenty twelve what it was from the outset we've been developing our engines to complete the order from technical there is such a craft project it could be used in patrol flights for example aerial monitoring on border areas for the emergency as ministries risky fleet full medical aid operations and we expected to be in good demand full light transport aviation with .

aside from trust training journalists trying to make sense of the trials of people when there's an ever present variable he ation for aircraft of all sizes for generations me kind has been playing occasionally catastrophic losing a dangerous game with when shifting weather systems every time we've taken the skies fortunately now we're increasingly prepared with advanced equipment to keep us from getting away. when sheer where wind changes in direction or speed over a short distance can quickly turn a smooth flight into a dangerous one given enough elevation pilots can easily recover but options are much more limited around takeoff and landing that's why russian scientists me falcon if steve has developed technology to provide pilots and air traffic controllers with improved wind shear warning must you want to know them and the atmosphere around their. his own stable in some cases and airports have been built

in places with complicated landscapes take for example hong kong where roughly one in every two hundred fifty landings and takeoffs is performed under house of this wind shear conditions therefore it's a diffuser will be fully covered with advanced sensor equipment to map out when other hazards information that will help relieve congestion increase throughput a goldmine for the industry old school when sure detection systems rely on an anemometer or simple wind gauges the lighter wind profiler three hundred by russian firms laser systems and aircraft engineering concern is ground based shooting laser beams skyward and then determining wind direction and speed by detecting the frequency of the backscatter light at least in principle one liner when profiler should give more detailed information over shorter distances crucial around airports and low flying aircraft then several anemometer spaced out around the same territory another source of the task is actually quite simple our device here will now measure the wind profile at an altitude of three hundred meters in the vicinity

you can see a tower with special platforms where wind gauges like the one i'm holding are installed. you know this is of course our goal is to prove that the measurements of our lead are wind profile or correspond to the measurements obtained through the sensors installed on this high meteorological tower as well as. up against a whole host of spinning anemometers just one scanning module on the l w p three hundred is left to pain an equally accurate picture of the wind over this kaluga region test site mistakes are high since the losing system may soon be consigned to the dustbin of aviation history the physical benefits of replacing the towers in the already cluttered space around modern airports is obvious says. missing the ground based lighter systems would also be less of

a challenge but if the numbers don't back up the wind profiling benefits when the towers are better left in place fortunately the new technology for very perfectly and may soon be ready for full time action. conditions put on your person in the test of being completed successfully and most importantly in the near future we hope to get certified by the interstate aviation committee the organization that deals with equipment certification and once you've got us our task is to provide this equipment for russians first we ensure detection system and installing bloody bostock which will be hosting next year's major international summit was an inspiration because up we should ensure maximum flight safety for the high ranking guests and naturally all commercial passengers flying to and from vladivostok every day could not sedition two thousand and eleven features more than ten american military aircraft something unthinkable in moscow when this airshow first opened nearly two decades ago improve relations i thank you at least in florida to a multinational treaty and high flying surveillance technology this story starts in

the darkest days of the cold war when an arms race and mutual suspicion held the world both east and west in a state of great tension moved by the constant threat of all out war in nuclear destruction and we're trying to do then you can relieve this great fear of surprise attack so now our allies are still proposing inspection of all most americans not of the rio grande. and all your. anything for a. enters battle. that was eisenhower's main message at the geneva summit of nine hundred fifty five but soviet and western leaders failed to agree on a mutual inspection regime and the idea was put on ice for a generation it was reborn in one thousand nine hundred two however as the treaty on the open skies the united states and russia were eventually joined by thirty two other. signatories to date they've completed more than eight hundred flyovers and

generated both valuable data in a priceless boost in mutual relations then to find thirty in the triple f one five four a carry out most of russia's flights to date but like their counterparts in other countries the planes are aging and have taishan the aeronautical electronics it would be in company vegas is responsible for bringing russia's open skies surveillance capacity into the twenty first century camera and sensor equipment allowed with industry has to be fine tuned like maximum ground resolution for photo and video material strictly limited thirty centimeters. after years of work figure kingdom ops two thousand eleven ready to unveil their brainchild the first specifically built to believe two fourteen zero zero s. would be the most advanced aircraft in the history of the open skies treat. this beautiful aircraft is not simply the first plane in russia or any other treaty on the open skies countries that incorporates all types of equipment allowed for use on board it's also automated to a remarkably high level of the equipment is controlled electronically all the data

displayed on the screen where they operate a monitor is them. you are standing by the forward equipment they have the across to will tickle electronic equipment is in schools and while the tail compartment contains airborne ray does and the infrared camera the best place on board the plane is reserved for photo and video cameras because we expect them to give us the main bulk of information one fixed photo camera shoots directly below the aircraft that one another one takes panorama peaches plus two side view cameras and three video cameras all this photo and video surveillance equipment and eyeballs us to cover a very large stretch of land and gives us a detailed picture of the landscape the aircraft passes of age photo camera has a separate all to go port protected by sliding doors that are designed to prevent the from sticking to the lenses during takeoff and landing generally speaking the. very reliable and fully automated. with the cameras and sensors installed in the

plane's underbelly crewmen women on the planes operated them right from that tiny camera but the two go live to fourteen zero wes's move to remote control and automation that's the mission commander the individual camera operators and host country observers all sit comfortably in the passenger cabin books a little bit cooler and we're entering the compartment where the equipment operators six. of us will this is a key part of the plane because this is where we receive the desired information to go through you'll notice that there are two additional seats located behind each operator is agent with the face of the representatives of the country the plane is flying a. little this is a necessary provision i'm to exercise in constant control over the treaty flights in focus and here is the equipment that operates the infrared camera and the radar should also mention that this is the first time in the history of the treaty on open skies that surveillance radar has been installed on board an aircraft model to try to fourteen zero s.

is already flight worthy and ready to fill all its treaty obligations a second plane is on assembly lines set to join in the formal flights as soon as next year international observers who came to moscow agreed the plane is a big step to making sure the sky stayed open and a future it's the end of an airshow here in moscow and the end of an era for technology update i'm off to get one of these jets back to the states but the rest of the take up team will be back next month with more from the ever changing world of russian animation consume and enjoy the right. wealthy british style.
