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 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. services organized a little test to show journos like me what it's like onboard knowing far from the. following warnings about what lay ahead needless to say i got a little nervous. really.

like the vast majority of. this heavy hitter for nearly ten years now but only recently did production of these beasts return to their original birthplace. they were designed by the aircraft company but for years were constructed out in siberia. in the wake of industry wide restructuring they're now put together right down the road from where the plans were. put together and reportedly at least sixteen more are slated to come off the production line in the coming. years.

the whole thing is over in about thirteen seconds as the pilots take a less than the full load the water only reaches certain chambers to make sure the plane is still balanced maneuverable and safe with a fire in sight the pilot to since to about forty meters above the ground so the water isn't pulled into a harmless mist before it reaches the flames. of course aeronautical engineers didn't do it all by themselves advanced electronics have helped make pilots lives a lot easier inside the berry of two hundred cockpits in the past the pilots had to monitor and regulate everything manually and using analog controls cockpits are lit up like a sports fanatics living room and game day to share the planes of the very latest very of turn to the institute of aircraft equipment. off the area two hundred complex was designed especially for this aircraft included six full color l.c.d. screens which display information about the flight navigation engines and control

systems but we also have special firefighting equipment on this aircraft hey you can see a display that provides information on reminds the pilots about the current status of water reservoirs of their 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 the plane has in its tanks if the fuel tanks a full there's no way you can fill up all eight available water tanks the plane simply can't carry that much it tells him how much water. based on the amount of fuel already. a host of other nations reportedly interested in. hundreds the developers of the aircraft equipment had to make modifications so that their products meet russian european standards and could also operate alongside. but in addition to. 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 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 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 but each successful demonstration of its flame dowsing more and more governments are taking a closer look at the russian made plain it could be just what my native californian needs further and.

while they're made of instead lay down here at water's edge where air shows are trapped thousands of spectators a day in reality many participants are here to improve their bottom line in the pavilion scattered throughout the territory companies are using this unique gathering to find new partners as well sign important deals. there are more than one hundred ninety participants showing what they've got to offer the exhibition basically if there was a product that could be incorporated into a plane or 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. the next level of the business branding reportedly be on the way to china following the deal. tween helicopters of russia and technology in total billion dollars worth of contracts were signed. by all the different designs and solutions that ship engineers have come up with over the years all strive for what 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 of cool 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 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's been three main schools of thought i did those which allowed 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 traveling faster than believed possible for a ship the. brainchild of. team pioneered the development of these ground effect vehicles. including a few with military applications. which means could launch 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 and went on to become the most. popular and prevalent. but even before that. was busy developing one of the world's very first hovercraft in one thousand thirty five he built and tested his. we can see the continuation of tradition here.

is the place to look for such innovations. the city is home to which is currently. manufacturing. countries like russia the ships in important areas. infrastructure. riverbanks. the traditional. the bigger of these two she. and his crew. people across the. river. the fleet. to circumvent the traffic bridge in the area. there's just nothing quite like it. makes this vessel unique is its ability to operate all year round to say three hundred sixty five days a year. to displacing ships that can only operate when the water is

free from ice. before mints. does not require expensive pieces of infrastructure. to make the companies. they were.

to get this result because it. helped us come up with. stability and control of the vessel. cover design six to the basics of traditional ships of this kind there's a turbo prop at the forward thrust. underneath. the air through bags that wrap around the perimeter of the vessel as that escapes through. creating the momentum curtain under the whole building up the pressure needed to keep it hovering on the other hand has fitted two inflatable tubes along as the keel. chambers underneath. begins to escape under the tubes forcing the craft upwards the top two is divided 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 over water or snow with the same amount of. main edge over the more conventional kind of. by maintaining contact with the surface we have achieved excellent maneuverability as well as steady motion. by you and. that's important because handling is a big deal for the craft that hover and there's minimal if any contact to ground. these significantly trickier than in other types of transport for the help of an eclipse to be the design the captains on board can effectively decrease the air pressure under the right and left side independently which allows one side to drag sharply in that direction. higher above the water surface and

there's another craft. floating effortlessly above the base seaplane to help show that size doesn't always matter and that the small fires also have a role to play in their tiny. but if this plane was designed to be operated. under any circumstances if you landed on her water you can pull up to the shore just like in any boat here's the door that allows the pilot and passengers get out and if you open this up there's a pathway people walk along here and from this point the latter can be extended down to the ground in any case where you're already on dry land. now for me what helped set this aircraft apart from others is the simplicity of it it's propelled by two one hundred horsepower engines that run on regular gasoline and is small three cubic metre cockpit 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 the eating. so i grabbed my trusty camera and hopped on for a little test flight. thanks to its light design that shape twenty nine only needs . one hundred fifty.

one hundred twenty five cubic metres of cargo space inside to get that big body off the ground is driven by a pair of gas turbo shaft engine is to each crank out more than eleven thousand horsepower choppers designed to have five crew of four in the cockpit and one sling operator 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.

different governments have placed orders. several different variations of the me twenty six they could be put together here.

first of all it's unique because it can lift records heavy loads it's the world's most powerful had it cold to have vented 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 chinos for example and they're in totally different weight classes ours is more powerful it can lift heavier loads and on top of that it's fuel efficient. because it's repeatedly called to transport transportable over the years it's told directly twenty fuselage . are likely on the way with a new variation of the t two ready for production. the main difference from the original design is what we've managed to retain all of our time tested solutions

and high level of reliability but who also added innovative technologies of the twenty first century and cutting edge of a new radio communication system and totally reworked electronics we also called the number of the crew members required while the m i twenty sixty which you can see behind me is operated by four crew members then you. can be piloted by only two and it will still be able to complete all the same operations. choppers in the twenty six family is a unique blamey which is also produced. to me. twenty six was the first chopper to implement such configuration these fibers are stretched out and they will be wrapped around the leading edge of the massive blades the tail as it's called is made of fiberglass polymer and honeycomb structure to give us strength without adding too much weight for safety sake the blades are fitted with electric quickness as damage one system some helicopters out there saving two hundred

kilograms by using composite materials in the road of. twenty six design engineers necessary to make that switch it was treated very close to transport. it's been used by many domestic and foreign companies so all in all the. huge success. so will the new t. to be as popular as the original only time will tell. they've added new equipment so they can operate day or night regardless of the weather source it is too late to show up at this year's gathering but there's always next. question is whether we. water. anyway. enjoy the right.
