where the plane at the premier aerospace pioneers have come to show off their latest high flying hard supplies water too deep for the best of the best to soar above the rest and the legendary to coast the airfield in suburban moscow the very place named after an early russian aerodynamics genius this year was the tenth time around for this festival flight since it started nine hundred 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 bush the sukhoi top forty 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 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 a whole batch of a new 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 good brains commercial line. dissing the wild narrow body d.n.c. 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 if you check cabin designs are easily transformable to increase comfort or capacity the total order to make these planes and internationally competitive aircraft rests on the shoulders of the. corp 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 e.g. domestic to pull if one five four 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 hour nomics aviation materials and aviation technologies the stage is the chief 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 the speed of you fourteen hundred g. or the specially designed new p.c. for t.v. a project of russia's obviously good to. ask 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 the platform on the basis of which engines will be designed for the home line of these airplanes p.t. fourteen is projected to meet and exceed international standards on fuel consumption emissions and noise pollution new engines are a start but they aren't the only innovative rethink for the future could jet. are leaving aerodynamics this issue soggy made a crucial contribution to this project their experts produced a new concept for wing design it has little to get a 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 the wide beach an airplane is a further aerodynamic advantage but it's largely what the wings are made. they can't. visit if it's here you can see a compass and wing books with a 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 company's design bureau on the russian side as well as austria mischa and the material supply side take from the us i think 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 enough to assume there are an awful lot of parts that have to fall into place for a passenger plane to break into the country of commercial market for the mc twenty one is already taking its first strides into a sunny future on board the prototype cabinet to moscow here show i could already get a feel for how a flight on that you could airliner might one day be automated latches opening oversize luggage beds spacious seats in both business and economy. a

screen it 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 last 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 serials time. both for and at the flight deck pilots also enjoy every twenty first century aviation was multi-functional l.c.d. output panels to integrate the latest in digitized flight controls. those pilot wings i've had a thing runway obviously this model's not exactly but here could explain it production twenty one by twenty fourteen so there should be more progress through. ported the next three months of 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 seventy seven's freed up for a short getaway mox visitors got a glimpse at the latest widebody boeing billed as the company's most advanced most fuel efficient airplane ever and with russian flagship airline float said to take twenty two of the new dreamliner. crews from faraway seattle gave future customers a good preview of what the modern machine is capable of. it was a very enjoyable easy flight we use a lot of the automation on the airplane to make the workload i always feel a little as possible so the auto pilot course was used all throughout the regimes this monitor through those systems the airplane is equipped with some can you all

see an automatic inclusion reporting so for some cloak advantage of all those things we didn't have to make the standard positioning force on the h.f. radio airplanes system did those reports force so very very enjoyable flight in russia was hardly a brand of 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 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 the think about the russian contribution of this aero korea i think that i would say that mature ills and. two main areas. partnership in russia made it possible for me probably to say that

this airplane would have happened without our russian partners in terms of design russian engineers simply claimed the nose cone structure did leads to seventy seven skyward they pitched in an electrical systems or conditioning they designed a crucial beating each of the women provides lift to the pylon for mounting the engines and even added some flair to the passenger friendly interior. when it comes to simply airplanes there are parts in their parts and it's largely thanks to unique new components and 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 will be impossible with how key parts like this body cord connecting the wind to diffuse a law made entirely of russian composite materials this source of these all important materials this would all boeing a joint venture between the aircraft company envious m p o v small producer of fully a quarter of the world's titanium is it will boeing russia stood last region the

unique type t.v. meloy are turned into the backbone of the seventy seven breakthroughs in material science achieved here for a major reason the world can expect a whiter stronger more eco friendly airplanes in the coming years. we all know design in seven eight seven there schneid that's and that's going to and all this airplane which will be the leader will carry more passengers up to eight hundred eighty passengers so the longer distance that airplane. and two in service in two years and where there would be the design of this airplane with also paid a lot of attention to the other there were interesting approach that he in moscow called seven foot cell on this eight that brought it was brought in parallel so it's now i'm in such the case in flight tests and will continue to work on the improvements of this airplanes and i'm sure that there would. interesting projects including the small airplanes that i think he has will continue. for now all eyes

are on the upcoming commercial goal 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 their new standard jet before it even made its first test flight so expect them soon in an airport near you not all the newbies that boxer commercial jetliners and for many of 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 won attention of monks far greater than its size the assembly lines it's a marist sask a big progress helped put the first soviet cosmonauts in orbit and propelled generations of the air in space craft 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 of the

bionics with the rugged all condition reliability needed to serve russia's regions . the no hell that design is can be seen in several solutions employed on this airplane it is excellent ironic properties including the if ensuring great performance even at low velocity its landing gear is very good and allows you to land the aircraft on sub standard their fields the aircraft withstand strong winds very will 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 research 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 somalia.

conditions of the former military airport are 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 played even a month ago and of whips the 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 young us. really stands out for its modern flight control equipment which in practice and i was eric out of the students his master this machine can transition easily to modern passenger jet line is. good when recent chill kits to market it will just be raising

a new generation of skill pilots it will also help revive an important aviation sector that suffered from post soviet konami 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 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 and many i'm against it now work on a domestic legal tension. airshow display in their assembly lines salute is most distinguished for powering the skies bigger beasts into soviet era there are fifteen three hundred push the record breaking making twenty five interceptor unprecedented speeds and altitudes. updating and repair. the engines from the thirty one f.

family the boosters behind a big chunk of the russian air forces fight or flee. from a suit twenty seven to its descent ensued thirty two thirty three and c thirty four salute also collaborates with ukrainian partners to power several large and tone of passenger and cargo planes as well as the firefighting video from b. two hundred with the old that under their belt the company agreed to an order for what would become its first white 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 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 jus to improve technical and interracial performance as well as economic advantages resulting from the improved fuel consumption rates and hans engine power performance but if you used the term goal proxy five hundred s.

consists of the production gear attached to the propeller the combustor the compressor and if the rear the excess rejigger box what's called a gas generator comprises both come bus train compressor essentially the heart of the engine. the gas generator is the biggest piece yet produced in seleucid project for that is the choke turbo prop engine along with it they develop 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 sick so one f. and might see a replacement from general electric t.v. five hundred s. need specs to set it apart. here we join send you to engineers to fire up the gas generator for another round of tests draw power is important but not the only objective given recent shots to me. stature a lighter less powerful engine it still has that thrust to provide

a desired cruising speed in takeoff distance while guzzling less gas is a more profitable formula. so far seventeen seems to be the engines lucky number projected to be seventeen kilograms lighter than the walter model and you seventeen percent less fuel though it's still just a few years 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 fusion engine right now we are talking about the gas generator go hopefull to complete development of a new engine by twenty twelve when it was from the outset we've been developing our engines to complete the order from techno obviously there is that shock aircraft project it could be used in for troll flights for example aerial monitoring of border areas for the emergency as ministries risky fleet for medical aid operations and we expected to be in good demand full light transport aviation.

side from frustrating journalists trying to make sense out of trials of paper when there's an ever present variable he ation for aircraft of all sizes for generations me in kind has been playing and occasionally catastrophic losing the dangerous game with wind shift in weather systems every time we've taken the skies fortunately now we're increasingly prepared with experience to quickly to keep us from getting away . when sheer where when 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 and russian scientists me how can you have steve has developed technology to provide pilots and air traffic controllers with improved wind shear warning must be able 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 hazardous wind shear conditions in force or diffusion will be fully covered with advanced sensor equipment to map out wind in other hazards information that will help relieve congestion increase throughput a goldmine for the patient industry old school when sure detection systems rely on anemometer for simple. delight when profiler three hundred developed 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 light hour when profiler should give more detailed information over shorter distances crucial around airports and low flying aircraft and several anemometer spaced out around the same territory. 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. in the us of that's 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. up against a whole host of spinning anemometers just one scanning module on the l.w.p. three hundred is left of pain and equally accurate picture of the wind over this kaluga region test site in this case 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 son. dissing 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 and once you've got that our task is to provide this equipment for russia's first wind shear detection system and is still in bloody vostok which will be hosting next year's major international some of those you should visit we should ensure maximum flight safety for the high ranking guests and naturally old commercial passengers flying to and from bloody vostok every day month's edition 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 a constant threat of all out war in nuclear destruction or trying to do then you may believe it great fear of surprise attack so now our allies are still proposing the inspection of all but the america not the rio grande. and all your. anything for a famous back. and. jenkins eisenhower's mean 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 fly overs and

generated both valuable data in a crisis boozed in mutual relations bent on thirty in the triple of one five four have carried out most of russia's flights to date but like their counterparts in other countries the plane thirty g. advocation aeronautical electronics are whipping company vega is responsible for bringing russia's open skies surveillance capacity into the twenty first century camera and sensor equipment allowed within the treaty has to be fine tuned like maximum ground resolution for photo and video material strictly limited thirty centimeters. after years of work they get came to a modest two thousand election ready to unveil their brainchild the first specifically built to believe two fourteen zero s. would be the most advanced aircraft in the history of the open skies tree. this beautiful aircraft is not simply the first plane in russia or any other treaty on i can skies countries that incorporates all types of equipment allowed for use on board it's also automated to

a remarkably high level of equipment is controlled electronically all the data displayed on the screen where they operate a monitor is the. us standing by the forward equipment by the aircraft will tickle electronic equipment is in stools 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 panoramic picture is plus two side view cameras and three video cameras all this photo and video surveillance equipment and i believe us to cover a very large stretch of land and gives us a detail picture of the landscape the aircraft causes of a photo a camera has a separate offical port protected by sliding doors that are designed to prevent good from sticking to the lenses during takeoff and landing generally equipment speaking the. it is 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 tiny camera with the triple of two fourteen zero s is moved to remote control and automation lets the mission commander the individual camera operators and host country observers all sit comfortably in the passenger cabin books listening to food where entering the compartment where the equipment operators six. of us will this is the 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's agent with you there for the representatives of the country the plane is flying a. little to go but this is a necessary provision i'm just exercising constant control over the treaty flights in focus and here is the equipment that operates the infrared camera and the radio national some 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 so much of the truth live to fourteen zero zero s.

is already flight worthy and ready to fill all its treaty obligations a second plane is on the assembly lines set to join in the formal flights as soon as next year international observers who came to moscow agree the plane is a big step to making sure the sky stayed open to the future it's the end of an airshow here in moscow and the end of an era for technology of thing 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 an ever changing world of russian animation two men enjoy the right.
