place named after an early russian aerodynamics genius this year was a tense time around for this festival flight since it started making ninety three with over eight hundred companies representing thirty countries to be strong for the year shows more than half a million guests will surely be in-flight action movie business was also on the bill 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 to hoist cockfights the fifty finally broke out from behind the closed doors covering its development flying for crowds in cameras for the first time it's a fifth generation stealth fighter show 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 or two thousand and eleven is already a new decade with new projects like a whole batch of a musician cargo and passenger jets in russia's civil aviation pipeline. undoubtedly the most notable newcomer is here could see him 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 the brains commercial line. dissing the lyle narrow bodied in c twenty one is actually an emerging family two hundred three hundred ten 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 if you share cabin designs are easily transformable to increase comfort or to pass it 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 the left one fight for fleets but 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. the n.c. twenty one will be offered with engine options either present with these people view fourteen hundred g. or the specially designed new p.c. for t.v. the project of russia's top you'd be getting. 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 it's important to point out that we're regarding this engine as a 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 stored but they aren't the only innovative rethink for the future could jet. are leading aerodynamics institute soggy made a crucial contribution to this project their experts produced a new concept for wing design it has an altogether new profile for super critical 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 a compass and wing books for the mc twenty one airliner he uses unique advanced technology called vacuum in fusion in a joint project between the main design an aero composite and the sukhoi company's design bureau on the russian side as well as ostrich facia and the material supply

side take 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 increased the airplane's fuel efficiency by up to twelve percent of them there are an awful lot of parts to fall into place for a passenger plane to break into the cut through commercial market but the m c twenty one is already taking its first strides into a sunny future on board the prototype cabin in the moscow air show i could already get a feel for how a flight on the airliner might one day be automated latches so big oversized luggage bits spacious seats in both business and economy and of course a screen at every seat. as passengers were most concerned with smooth sailing to our destination and hence by every available amenity the carriers are all about the bottom line all 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 jets just enough extra aisle space to eliminate the annoying service cards squeezed by a train serials time. from the flight deck pilots also enjoy every perk of twenty first century aviation with multi-functional l.c.d. help put panels to integrate delay to sim digitize flight controls. those pilots race thing one way pretty obviously this model is not exactly where we're here could explaining for twenty one by twenty fourteen so there should be more progress through. ported the next to last this year's most triumphal entry went to the brand new long awaited seventy seven dreamliner from boeing which has 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 seventy 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 flight should barely afford such a take twenty two of the new dreamliner. cruise from faraway seattle gave future customers a good preview of what the modern machine is capable of. it was a very enjoy a bowl of easy flight we used a lot of the automation on the airplane to make the workload always down a little as possible. so the course was used to auto throttle regimes just monitor through those systems the airplane is equipped with something else see medical solution reporting and so forth 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 flight russian 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 take orders to russia's capital means the 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 of british pool of specialists that was a big deal in developing the dreamliner as you think about the russian contribution of this air reporting i think that i would say that materials and. two main areas will. 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 simply claimed the nose cone structure did lead to seventy seven skyward they pitched in on the electrical systems or conditioning they

designed a crucial video of the wing that provides lift the pylon from the engines and even added some flair 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 to source of these olympe orton materials this would all boeing a joint venture between the aircraft company and via sim p.o.v. small producer of fully a quarter of the world's titanium it's it pulling in russia's speed last region that unique h.t.m.l. ois are turned into the backbone of the seven hundred seventy breakthroughs in material science achieved here are a major reason the world can expect lighter stronger more eco friendly airplanes in

the coming years. we are no design in seven eight seven there's nine that's the next modification of this airplane which will be the leader will carry more passengers up to eight hundred eighty passengers put a longer distance that airplane. and two in service in two years and where there would be the design of this airplane will also paid a lot of attention to the other there were interested in moscow call seven full set on this a that brought it goes in parallel with so on a seven in so it's the cation in flight tests and we'll continue to work on the improvements of this airplanes and i'm sure that there will be. it's including the small airplanes that the russian he could have will continue the boy. for now all eyes are on the upcoming commercial rollout 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 their

new standard green jet before it even made its first test flight so expect them soon in an airport near you not home to newbies to 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 crappy asian it is a choke has been developed and it's already one attention it mocks for greater than its size the assembly lines it's similar as say ask a big progress help put the first soviet cars nuts in 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 the rugged all condition reliability needed to serve russia's regions. to the no hell that design is can be seen in several solutions employed in this if it is

excellent ira done it properties including a full insuring great performance even a low velocity its landing gear is very good and allows you to land the aircraft on subs and of their fields their craft withstand strong winds very will with the symmetric engines also feel very good performance which is particularly important for multi engine aircraft and also is a significant advantage in training a craft. before recent choke flew in to take its place of 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 are puerto luxury as compared to the remote airstrips the research oak is built to access but it's a good base for monitoring and servicing the newborn aircraft while it gets its wings in the field it 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 pilot like even a month ago enough whips to light airplane around curves with performance parameters to establish these trial flights are no relaxing total jump but once it makes muster with russian aviation regulators the first batch are due for delivery to a flight school in lenin's hometown of this. really stands out for its modern flight control equipment which in practice and i was eric out of the students has mass to this machine to transition easily to modern passenger jet liners. it when recent show kids to market it won't just be raising a new generation of skilled pilots it will also help revive an important evasion sector that suffered from post soviet economic belt tightening and an aging fleet of light aircraft with research oaken recent changes to airspace regulations the

range and flexibility of multi-purpose and general aviation should be back on russia's enormous map. this he says it is a choke and a potential for expansion in russia's small aircraft sector has drawn interest in the involvement of some of the country's biggest producers that includes the news makers and 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 data dating and repair. the engines from the air thirty one f. family the boosters behind a big chunk of the russian air force's fighter fleet from soho to twenty seven to its descent in suit dirty suit thirty three and c. thirty four salute also collaborates with ukrainian partners to power several large

anton of passenger and cargo planes as well as the firefighting amphibian video from the two hundred with all that under their belt the company agreed to an order for what would become its first light airplane engine. how did salute come to the decision to expand from the production of engines for fighter jets into the arena of small aircraft if you will produce the decision was made to to the existing need for a new engine in this class of aircraft since the engines currently in use were designed back in one nine hundred seventy s. and accordingly it was quite obvious that the demand for a new engine would be high due to its improved technical and interracial performance as well as economic advantages resulting from the improved fuel consumption rates and in conflict and power performance he's determined proxy five hundred s. consists of the production gear attached to the propeller the combustor the compressor and if the rear the excess read your box what's called the gas generator comprises both combustor and compressor essentially the heart of the engine. the

jets generator is the biggest piece yet produced in seleucid project for that is the choke turbo prop engine along with it they've developed a custom made experimental stand to confirm their balance for the appointed performance figures. since it is a choke is already flying on the check made him six zero one f. and might see a replacement from general electric said utes t.v. five hundred s. meet specs to set it apart. here we join said use engineers to fire up the gas generator for another round of tests draw power is important but not the only objective given recent shocks to me. good stature a lighter less powerful engine that still has that thrust to provide a desired cruising speed in takeoff distance while guzzling less 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 water 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 future engine right now we're talking about the gas generator we're hopeful to come clean development of a new engine by twenty twelve which from the outset we've been developing our engines completely old from technical avia for there is that shock aircraft project it could be used in patrol flights for example aerial monitoring of border areas for the emergency as ministries risky fleet full medical aid operations and we expected to be in good in mind full light transport aviation. aside from trust rating journalists trying to make sense of the trials of faith when there's an ever present variable he ation for aircraft of all sizes for

generations me and has been playing occasionally catastrophic losing a dangerous game with when shifting weather systems every time we take 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 in air traffic controllers with improved wind shear warning. the atmosphere around europe. 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 hazardous wind shear conditions therefore to diffuse or 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 evasion industry old school we ensure detection systems rely on an anemometer wind gauge a lighter wind profiler three hundred five russian firms laser systems and aircraft engineering concern is ground based shooting laser beam 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 in 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 most of those are 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 was posing with them i stood. up against a whole host of spinning anemometers just one scanning module on the l.w.p. three hundred is left of pain an equally accurate picture of the window 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 soon. seeing the ground based lighter systems would also be less of a challenge but if the numbers don't back up the win profiling benefits then 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 have been 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 what you've got out of our task is to provide this equipment for russia's first wind shear detection system and installing bloody vostok which will be hosting next year's major international summits goes in the speech should be that we should ensure maximum flight safety for the high ranking guests and naturally old commercial passengers flying to and from volleyball stock every day not sufficient 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 by the constant threat of all out war in nuclear destruction and we are trying to do then you leave this great fear

a surprise attack so now on our allies in ourselves proposing the inspection of all but america not of the rio grande. and all of europe. anything for they say means by cannot. enter satellite. 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 others. signatories to date they've completed more than eight hundred flyovers and generated both valuable data and up prices boost in mutual relations then on thirty in the triple f one five four have carried out most of russia's flights to date but like their counterparts in other countries the plane thirty g. can have. the aeronautical and electronics equipment company vega is responsible

for bringing russia's open skies surveillance capacity into the twenty first century cameron sensor equipment allowed within the treaty has to be fine tuned like maximum ground resolution for photo and video material strictly limited to thirty centimeters. after years of work to get kenya mox two thousand eleven ready to unveil their brainchild the first specifically built to believe two fourteen zero s will be the most advanced aircraft in the history of the open skies treaty. on this beautiful aircraft is not simply the first plane in russia or any other treaty on 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 monitors them if you're not you're standing by the forward equipment by the aircraft 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 a 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 a photo camera has a separate offical port protected by sliding doors that are designed to prevent the from sticking to the lenses during takeoff and landing generally speaking the equipment. very reliable and fully automated. with the cameras and sensors installed in the plane's underbelly crewmen and women on the planes operated them right from that camera but the trouble of two fourteen zero s is moved 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 and books to swimming pool we're entering the compartment where the equipment operators six. of us through this is the key part of the plane because this is where we receive the desired information. you'll notice that there are two additional seats located behind each operator who is there for the representatives of the country the plane is flying a. little slow but this is a necessary provision i am to exercise in constant control over the treaty flights in focus and here is the equipment that operates the infrared camera. 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 live 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 came to moscow agreed the plane is

a big step to making sure this guy stayed open to the future it's the end of an airshow here in moscow and the end of an era for technology uptake 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.
