oh and welcome to technology as the weather in moscow has already taken a turn for the worse the team and i pads are swimsuits and headed down to the black sea city of. and is it just so happens for four days at the beginning of september the quiet resort town is transformed into the center of russian maritime aviation
11:31 pm
journalists and spectators alike flock to the night so title international exhibition of hydro aviation probably the biggest crowd pleasers with acrobatic shows from the country's top flight nieces the russian knights and swiss. festivities with high speed fly overs and there were government officials on hand to open the exhibition as well as stress the industry's importance to the economy. the largest crowds came out to see jet stream overhead the real site to see closer to the water surface. name implies the craft on display needed. to take part. however there was more than just a feast for the. there were some food for thought as well scientists and engineers got together to discuss and probably argue about the latest trends in developments in the industry. also taking advantage of the spotlight of international companies to make a splash here in russia for example this roughly one hundred twenty five thousand

dollar water pack made in germany could be tried for about five hundred bucks for ten minutes but the most practical of these seem to be the sea legs. with. this new zealand creation is the easiest way to get a boat. and it's no slouch either when it's in the water top speeds of around eighty kilometers an hour. came to see the pride and joy of russian engineering. one of the biggest stars here this show is going to be two hundred which for years has helped russian emergency services help say was here and abroad despite that engineers of work continuously improving modernize the system so that the newest models are better than ever and the plane was designed to fulfill a number of specialized search and rescue cargo and passenger transit as well as ambulance duties but it's got the most attention for its firefighting configuration
11:33 pm
washing in action from the ground is one thing but to really appreciate the raw power of it you want to check it out from the inside so with that in mind. russia's emergency services organized a little test flight to show journos like me what it's like onboard knowing far from the best flyer so following warnings about what lay ahead needless to say i got a little nervous. with. something . it's got a range of thirty six hundred. thousand meters. over seven hundred kilometers.
11:34 pm
purpose built. this heavy hitter has been in service for nearly ten years now but only recently did production of these planes return to their original birthplace of.
11:35 pm
again. fuel. and complications are. training and passage. hours in the simulator. in order to be prepared for the first time they take.
11:36 pm
to take. i know how much they've taken instruct them to close the intake. are closed right away there are two to six. excess water to escape in addition to the twelve tons of firefighting craft is filled with four tanks that hold. power every pass. in real time thing is over in about thirteen. because the pilots take less than the full load the water only reach a certain chambers to make sure the plane is still balanced maneuverable and safe.
11:37 pm
to sins to about forty meters above the ground so the water isn't. missed before it reaches the flames. of course aeronautical engineers didn't do it. advance electronics have helped make pilots lives a lot easier inside the very of two hundred cockpits in the past the pilots had to monitor and regulate everything manually and using any controls. sport fanatics little game day to share the planes of the. theory of turn to the institute of aircraft equipment. was designed especially for they. include six full. screens which display information about the flight navigation engines and. we also have special firefighting equipment.
11:38 pm
you can see a display that provides information on reminds the pilots about the current status of. the senses that show how much water there is in each tank the exact amount of water that to be taken on board depends on how much fuel. if the fuel tanks are full there's no way you can fill up. the. carry about a notch it tells him how much we. by some the amounts of fuel already. with a host of other nations reportedly interested in buying hundreds the developers at the institute of aircraft equipment have had to make modifications so that their products meet russian european and u.s. standards and could also operate alongside foreign made equipment but in addition to those more money game changes they've also been working on a host of new features that will make the very latest planes better than ever. in addition to improving the avionics we're also working to add new capabilities as
11:39 pm
well as expand the plane's functionality. we have now installed indicators on the windshield we've developed special thermal imaging equipment that has been seamlessly integrated with the other existing systems on the aircraft all these will help make the use of our plane more effective. even though eight of the nine ve to hundreds out there was in russia given its capabilities in times of need the plane has been called into action by a host of other countries russia's emergency services and when to head to italy greece serbian israel successful demonstration of its flame dowsing more and more governments are taking a closer look at the russian made plain it could be just one minute of california needs for annual summer wildfires.

to meet. one of the native instead way down here at water's edge where air shows attract thousands of spectators a day in reality many participants are here to improve their bottom line and the pavilion scattered throughout the territory companies are using this unique gathering to find new partners as well sign important deals all in all there are more than one hundred ninety participants showing what they've got to offer the exhibition basically if there was a product they could be incorporated into a plane or a ship there was a company promoting their latest iteration of it the biggest players were also in

attendance to make sure that nobody forgot about stalwarts of the industry then there were some shaping future projects that aim to take maritime evolution to the next level of the business side branding choppers and will reportedly be on the way to china following the deal between helicopters of russia and poland technology in total over a billion dollars worth of contracts were signed one to the pavilion halls i was struck by all the different designs and solutions that ship. i've come up with over the years all strive for it seems to be the same thing just by taking these different models there's any number of ways to get their. feet throughout history ship designers have usually had one goal in mind that is to make their craft go faster oh they've always been limited by water resistance it seems a cruel joke but the faster a ship goes the more stronger the forces of drag work against the vessel as a result of top speed is dependent on how much of the ship interacts the water so
11:43 pm
as a rule of thumb submarines topped out at about fifty to sixty knots similarly traditional ships with part of the whole submerged can't do more than seventy five knots the key them to truly high speed ships lies in getting the holes. to achieve this there have been three main schools of thought hydrofoils which allow the whole to see above the water covered just above the surface on a pocket of air and ground effect that are more like planes that fly just metres above the water. and in terms of pure speed. in the so-called caspian sea monster easily topped four hundred kilometers an hour. named after western intelligence analysts spotted on the caspian sea. believed possible for a ship the. brainchild of. the development of these ground effect. including a few with military applications. which means could launch
11:44 pm
a missile delivery to the shore. was imagined as a high speed rocket launching pad. no one trick pony was originally one of the world's leading lights in terms of hydrofoil development money was designed to become the most popular and prevalent passenger hydrofoils on the globe but even before that the demon of call was busy developing one of the world's very first hovercraft in nine hundred thirty five he built into. especially. we can see the continuation of tradition here.
11:45 pm
is the place to look for such innovations. the city is home to which is currently active manufacturers of modern. countries like russia the ships in important areas. infrastructure. river banks. the traditional transport. the bigger of these two. people across the. river. to circumvent the traffic bridge in the area for those that operate it there's just nothing quite like it. makes this vessel unique is its ability to operate all year round that is to say three hundred sixty five days
11:46 pm
a year. to displacing ships. when the water is free from ice. before maneuverability does not require expensive pieces of infrastructure. if.
11:47 pm
they were. to get this result because it. helped us come up with. stability and control of the vessel. first cover design six to the basics of traditional ships of this kind there's a. thrust. underneath. the air through bags that wrap around the perimeter of the vessel. creating the momentum curtain under the whole building up the pressure. on the other hand has fitted two inflatable tubes along. chambers underneath with suitable pressure. under the tube in the craft upwards the top tube is divided
11:48 pm
into five sections to make sure the craft continues to function even in the case of . the types. greatly improve its gliding characteristics it can move the water. with the same amount of. even the more conventional kind of. contact with the surface we have achieved excellent maneuverability as well as steady motion. that's important because. the craft that hover. is significantly trickier than in other types of transport. the captains on board can effectively decrease the air pressure under the right and
11:49 pm
left side. which allows one side to drag and. higher above the water surface and there's another craft. floating effortlessly in . a seaplane to help show that size doesn't matter and that these small flyers also have a role to play. but if this plane was designed to be operated. under any circumstances if you landed on. to the shore just like in any boat here's the door that allows the pilot and passenger and if you open this up there's a pathway people walk along here and from this point the ladder can be extended down to the ground in any case you're you're already on. know for me what help set this aircraft apart from others is the simplicity of it it's propelled by two one hundred horsepower. gasoline. three cubic meter there's plenty

of room to fit for full grown adults plus eighty kilos of luggage but of course the proof of the pudding is always in. my trusty camera and hopped on for a little test flight. thanks to its light design good shape twenty nine only needs about one hundred fifty meters for takeoff. and once it's up in the air it can fly from one thousand kilometers in thirty. a little fun in.

with. one hundred twenty five cubic metres of cargo space inside to. the ground is driven by a pair of. more than eleven thousand horse. in the cockpit and one. in theory many configurations are possible this big hole can accommodate eighty fully equipped paratroopers or sixty beds for a large scale medical evacuation. and it was pretty much.

first of all it's unique because it can lift. it's the world's most powerful helical to have entered serial production it can lift up to twenty tons which is unique and something no other helicopter in the world can do it makes no sense to compare it to any foreign made ones like the chino for example and they're in different weight classes ours is more powerful it can lift heavy loads and on top of that it's fuel efficient. because of that it's repeatedly called to transport transport over the years it's told to the. fuselage as. they're likely on the way with a new variation the t two ready for production. the main difference from the
