welcome to technology update and welcome to mocks the world famous moscow air show where the planet's premier aerospace pioneers have come to show off their latest high flying hard to supply water too deep for them this to divest to soar above the rest of the legendary coast the airfield in suburban moscow reached the very place named after an early russian era 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 to be strong for the year shows more than half a million guests will surely be in flight action movie business was also one of bill racking up some ten billion dollars and deals even with all the international big shots bringing their wares russia's open secret made the biggest bush this to hoist cockfights the fifty finally broke out from behind the closed doors covering its development flight for crowds in cameras for the first time it's a fifth generation stealth fighter traversal 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 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 mid range commercial line. dissing the wild 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 in the 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 domestic to pull if 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 which aerial davey asian technologies plus the state institute of aviation systems is helping design the airplanes digital components for a familiar with 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. a project of russia's how did we get to the ground 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 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 stored but they aren't the only innovative rethink for the future could jet. are leading aerodynamics institute thought he 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 this 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 to visit a you can see a compass and wing books for the m. c. twenty one airliner if uses unique and 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 them there are an awful lot of parts that have to fall into place for a passenger plane to break into the country commercial market but the mc twenty one is already taking its first strides in true a sunny future. board the prototype cabinet the moscow air show i could already to feel for how a flight on the airliner might one day be automated latches open oversize luggage

bins spacious seats in both business and economy and of course a screening every seat. as passengers were most concerned with smooth sailing to our destination enhanced by every available amenity the carriers are all about the bottom line all three mc 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 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 the latest in digitize flight controls. those pilot wings i've had the thing runway ready obviously this model's not exactly here could explain for. anyone by twenty fourteen so there should be more progress to. ported

the next three blocks this year's most triumphal entry went to the brand new long awaited seventy seven dreamliner from boeing we should 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 marx's it has got a glimpse at the latest wide bodied boeing billed as the company's most advanced most fuel efficient airplane ever and which russian flagship airline had a float set to take twenty two of the new dreamliner the ten hour cruise from far away seattle gave future customers a good preview of what the modern machine is capable of. it was a very enjoyable easy flight we used a lot of the automation on the airplane to make the workload always don't little as possible. so a lot of pile of course was used all throughout those use this monitor through

those systems the airplane is equipped with some can do you all see a magic solution for you 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 in times ahead of the american and european schools russia provides a rich pool of specialists that was a big deal in developing the dreamliner to think about the russian called for additional to this air reporting i think that i would say that materials and

then a mix two main areas. 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 claimed the nose cone structure did leads to seventy seven skyward they pitched in on electrical systems or conditioning they designed a crucial video of the wing that provides lift the pylon from the t.v. 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 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 olympe order 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 would elbowing in russia region that unique type t.v. meloy are turned into the backbone of the seventy seven 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 nine that's and that's going to take a shot of this airplane a which will be the leader will carry more passengers up to eight hundred eighty passengers so the longer distance that airplane. and train service in two years and where there would be to design in this airplane we also paid a lot of attention to the other there were interesting pro shippey in moscow cold seven four seven deaths eight that prohibit goes in parallel with them in such the case and in flight tests and will 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 has will continue. 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 the new standard during jet before it even made its first test flight so expect them soon in airport near you not only 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 aviation it has been developed and it's already one attention it mocks for greater than its size the assembly lines it's similar as say s.k. big progress helped put the first soviet cars knots 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 and avionics with the rugged all condition reliability needed to serve russia's regions. to the no hell that designed as can be seen in several solutions employed on this airplane it is excellent they were done at properties including the if for ensuring great performance even at low velocity its landing gear is very good and allows you to land the aircraft on substantive if fields to stand strong winds very will with the isometric engines also shows very good performance which is particularly important for multi engine aircraft and also is a significant advantage in training aircraft. before recent show 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 airport are luxury as compared to the remote airstrips the research of 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 pledge even a month of going of which 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 would be 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 linus. is

here when research old kids the 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 konami belt tightening and an aging fleet of light aircraft which reduce a choke and recent changes to airspace regulations the range and flexibility of multi-purpose in 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 it has drawn the interest and the involvement of some of the country's biggest producers that includes a new makers of many millions and now work on a domestic legal tension. both at their mosque out 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 make twenty five interceptor unprecedented speeds in altitude today they're 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 soup to twenty seven to its descendants dirty soup thirty three and soup thirty four salute also collaborates with ukrainian partners to power several large one ton 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 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 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 jus to improve technically an operational performance as well as economic advantages resulting from the improved fuel consumption rates and

hans engine power performance that used to determine khaki five hundred s. consists of the production gear attached to the propeller the combustor the compressor and at the rear the excess read your box of 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 me walter m. six zero one f. and might see a replacement from general electric 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. he added stature a lighter less powerful engine it still has that thrust to provide a desired cruising speed in takeoff distance while cousinly less gas is a more profitable formula. sue for 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 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're talking about the gas generator but we're hopeful to complete development of a new engine by twenty twelve hours 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 with a. side from trust rating journalists trying to make sense of it or piles of papers when there is an ever present variable e.t.a. shit for aircraft of all sizes for generations me and has been playing it occasionally catastrophic losing a dangerous game with wind shifting weather systems every time we take in the skies fortunately now we're increasingly prepared with advanced equipment to keep us from getting away. when she or 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 how can you have steve has developed technology to provide pilots in air traffic controllers with improved wind shear warning must you want to know them and the

atmosphere around their. it is unstable 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 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 evasion industry old school we ensure detection systems rely on an anemometer wind gauge 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 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. so the task is actually quite simple our device here will now measure

the wind profile it allows you to 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 absence of those so 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 an equally accurate picture of the window over this kaluga region test site the stakes 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.

missing the ground a slider 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 ford perfectly and may soon be ready for full time action. conditions but the new 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 to ask our task is to provide this equipment for russia's first wind shear detection system and installing bloody nose talk which will be hosting next year's major international summit a dozen of the species up we should ensure maximum flight safety for the high ranking guests and naturally old commercial passengers flying to and from that he will stalk every day 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 the 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 american not of libya brand. and all your. anything for a. russia and or 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 neutral 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 completed more than eight hundred flyovers and generated both valuable data in a crisis boost in mutual relations then to find thirty in the triple one five four have carried out most of russia's flights to date but like their counterparts in other countries the planes are aging and have taishan 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 with industry has to be fine tuned light maximum ground resolution for photo and video material strictly limited to thirty centimeters. after years of work to get kingdom ox two thousand eleven ready to humvee on 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 treaty. 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 to 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 if you're not you're standing by the forward equipment by the it crossed will tickle any tronic 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 to rickly below the a craft that one another one takes plan around the pitches 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 causes of a phone a camera has a separate all to call 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 lets diminishing commander the individual camera operators and a host country observers all sit comfortably in the passenger cabin and book this load of food and we're 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 who is he is there for the representatives of the country the plane is flying over. 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 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 of two 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 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 air show here in moscow in the end of an era for technology of thing i'm off to catch one of these jets back to the states but the rest of the tag team will be back next month with more from the ever changing world of russian animation consume and enjoy the right.
