if you knew the song from funds to. start on t.v. don't come. at three thirty pm all scout times these are the top stories on our t.v. colonel gadhafi reportedly offers talks with the libyan rebels who runs a transfer of power the ball there are fears the country's civil war could see its chemical martin falling into the wrong hands. north korea is ready to limit nuclear arms and tasks arms testing and for adoption if international talks on security in the region resumed the pledge was made by the consumers who serve leader kim jong il on a rare trip to russia. and an unmanned russian space ship is missing after crashing

over siberia the progress vessel was carrying supplies to the international space station when it covered it back to earth shortly after launch. next we explore the latest in science in russia and around the world in technology. 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 supplied water too deep for the best to divest to soar above the rest and the legendary coastie 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 employed 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 line 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 edition cargo and passenger jets in russia's civil aviation pipeline. undoubtedly the most notable newcomer is here could see 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. this single aisle narrow body game 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 a to seven thousand in the future cabin designs are easily transformable to increase comfort or capacity the total order to make these planes into 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 your cause the company hopes not only to bring in reinforcements are they teaching to mistake 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 resources that use for aero hundred on our mix aviation materials and aviation technologies the stage is a sheet of aviation systems is helping design the airplanes digital components for . the n.c. twenty one will be offered with engine options either pratt and whitney s p w fourteen hundred g. or the specially designed new p.c. for t.v. a project of russia's did we get it now 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 plate full on the bases 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 shift. our leading aerodynamics is it your psyche made a crucial contribution to this project they're 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 the wide reaching the airplane is a further aerodynamic advantage but it's largely what the winds are made. they. did it if it's here you can see it compass it when books for the m c twenty one airliner it uses unique and advanced technology what's called vacuum and fusion in a joint project between the main design an aero come visit and the sukhoi companies designed you're on the russian side as well as ostrich fishes and the material supply cites it 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's 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 cutthroat commercial market but the m c twenty one is already taking its first rides into a sunny future on board the prototype cabinet in moscow air show i could already get a feel for how a flight on that you could airliner might one day be automated latches opening oversized luggage bins spacious seats in both business and economy and of course a screen in 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 simul style. from the flight deck pilots also enjoy every target of twenty first century aviation with multi-functional l.c.d. output panels to integrate delay dissin digitize flight controls. those wings i've had the thing runway ready for use leave this model's not exactly what your could explaining see twenty one by twenty fourteen 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 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 get away from oxford 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 airlines i am floored said 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 read easy flight we use a lot of the automation on the airplane to make the pilot work roll our eyes down it little as possible so the course was used all throughout the region this monitor through those systems the airplane is equipped with some can be l c an automatic promotion forty nine so forth so we took advantage of all those things we didn't have to make the standard positioning for sun 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 headquarters 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 of bitch pool of specialists that was a big deal in developing the dreamliner to think about the russian contribution of this aero pray 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 will not happen without our russian partners in terms of design russian engineers complete claim to the nose cone structure that leads to seventy seven skyward a piston on electrical systems or conditioning they designed a crucial beating image of the wind it provides lift 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 that boeing is promising a twenty percent bump in efficiency they could help the dreamliner is 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 wind to diffuse a large made entirely of russian composite materials to source of these all important materials this would all boeing a joint venture between the aircraft company envious m.p.o. will be smuggled producer of fully a quarter of the world's titanium is it blowing in russia stood last region the unique to each email ois 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 the next medication all this airplane which will be leader will carry more passengers up to eight

hundred eighty passengers so the longer distance that airplane. antron service in two years and where there would be the design of this airplane would also paid a lot of attention to the other the only interesting approach that he in moscow called seven full sail on this eight that brought it goes in parallel with so and it's now i'm in such the cation and flight tests and will continue to work on the improvements of this airplanes and i'm sure that there will be. interesting projects including the small airplanes that the russian he had will continue to cope with for now all eyes are on the upcoming commercial bailout of the first dreamliner was 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 bearing jet before it even made its first test flight so expect them soon in an airport near you not all of the new music box or 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 one attention it mocks for greater than its size the assembly lines that some are as good a progress helped put the first soviet cars not seen orbit and propelled generations of air and 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 is intended to combine modern performance and avionics with the rugged all condition reliability needed to serve russia's regions . to the no hell of a designed as can be seen in several solutions employed on this airplane is excellent i ever done in a couple days including a full ensuring great performance even at low velocity its landing gear is very

good and allows you to land the aircraft on some stand of their fields craft 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 aircraft. before riseth choke flew in to take its place in 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. the conditions at 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 blood demon muck of going off 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 of this. really stands out for its modern flight control equipment which in practice and i was eric had any students who have mastered this machine to transition easily to modern passenger jet liners. it was here when research old kids to market it would just be raising a new generation of skill pilots it will also help revive an important eastern 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 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 has drawn the interest and the involvement of some of the country's biggest producers that includes the new makers of many a movie engine now we're going to domestically build tension. at their mosque out airshow display in 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 maybe twenty five interceptor unprecedented speeds in altitude data updating and repair. the engines from the l. thirty one f. family the boosters behind a big chunk of the russian air force's fighter fleet. from sukhoi suits honey seven two it's just an ensuite dirty suit 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 amphibian video from b 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 is for you the decision was made to the existing need for a new engine in this class of aircraft since the engines conley in use were designed back in one nine hundred seventy s. and accordingly it was quite obvious that the demand for a new engine will be high jujubes improved technical and interracial performance as well as economic advantages resulting from the improved fuel consumption rates and hans engine power performance and used to turn a proxy five hundred this is just a production gear attached to the propeller of the combustor the compressor and it's the rear the excess regular box of what's called the gas generator comprises both combustor and compressor essentially the heart of the engine. the gas generator is the biggest piece yet produced in cell use project for that is the choke turboprop 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 says utes t.v. five hundred s. need specs to set it apart. here we joined said you'd change in years 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. 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 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 go through the future

nickel solutions have laid a good foundation for the development of fusion engine right now we are talking about the gas generator but we're hopeful to complete development of a new engine by twenty twelve from the outset we've been developing our engines complete the order from techno obviously there is that shock aircraft project it could be used in patrol flights for example aerial monitoring of border areas for the emergency is ministries risky fleet full medical aid operations and we expected to be in good i'm on full light transport aviation. aside from frustrating journalists trying to make sense out of trials of paper when there's an ever present variable n.e.p. ation for aircraft of all sizes for generations meantime has been playing and occasionally catastrophic losing the dangerous game with wind shifting weather systems every time we take to the skies fortunately now we're increasingly prepared

to defend stick with me 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 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 hazardous wind shear conditions airports of diffuser will be fully covered with advanced sensor equipment to map out wind and other hazards information that will help relieve congestion increase throughput a goldmine for the haitian industry old school when sure detection systems will lie

on anemometer or simple wind gauges delight or when profiler three hundred five russian firms laser systems 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 simple 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. still.

up against a whole host of spinning anemometers just one scanning module on the l.w. p.-p. hundred is left of pain and 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 emaciation history the physical benefits of replacing the towers in the already cluttered space around modern airports is obvious soon. missing the ground they slide our systems would also be less of a challenge but if the numbers don't back up the when profiling benefits then the towers are better left in place fortunately the new technology for for perfectly and may soon be ready for full time action. conditions put on your course and 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 love he will stalk which will be hosting next year's major international summit it was an abuse be should be we should ensure maximum flight safety for the high ranking guests and naturally all commercial passengers flying to and from bloody vostok every day months 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 think 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 what we're trying to do then you leave this great player a surprise attack so now our allies are still proposing inspection of all

but america not of the we have brand. and all your. energy strain for a. russia and. 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 and at prices boost in mutual relations then on thirty in the tuple of one five four have carried out most of russia's flights to date but like their counterparts in other countries the plane thirty aging adaptations aeronautical and electronics are willing company vegas is responsible for bringing russia's open skies surveillance aircraft any into the twenty first century camera

and 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 for a good team to modest two thousand and eleven ready to unveil their brainchild to 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 open skies countries that incorporates all types of equipment allowed for use on board it's also automated to or not to be high level the equipment is controlled electronically all the data displayed on the screen where they operate on monitors them up to not use 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 panorama peaches 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 detailed picture of the landscape the aircraft causes of a photo a camera has a separate all tickle port protected by sliding doors that are designed to prevent good from sticking to the lenses during takeoff and landing generally 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 a triple of two fourteen zero s is moved to remote control automation lets the mission commander the individual camera operators and host country observers all sit comfortably in the passenger cabin on 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 seat with the sail for the representatives of the country the plane is flying a. little this is a necessary provision i am to exercise in constant control over the treaty flights in for me here is the equipment that operates the infrared camera and the right 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 that might have 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 the 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 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 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 the ever changing world of russian animation two men enjoy the right. the. cinema should be so much brighter if you knew about sums from funds to crash and some. of these films stunts on t.v. don't come.
