oh and welcome to technology update as the weather in moscow is already taking a turn for the worse the team and i pack our swimsuits and headed down to the black sea city of. it 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 journalists and spectators alike flock to the night's 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 the industry's importance to the economy. the largest crowds came out to see jet stream overhead the real site to see was closer to the water surface. name implies the craft on display needed to mix both water and air 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 designs seem to be the sea legs. with. this new zealand creation is the easiest way to get a boat out of the water that i've never seen and it's no slouch either when it's in the water but top speeds of around eighty kilometers an hour. spectators 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 held russian emergency services. here and abroad despite. 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 washing in action from the ground is one thing but to really appreciate the raw
9:34 pm
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. when. something . is going to thirty six hundred. thousand meters. over seven hundred kilometers. like the vast majority of around the globe this purpose

to take. no how much they've taken and 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 up to. extinguish the power of every pass. in real time thing is over in about thirteen seconds as the pilots take less than the full load the water only reaches certain chambers to make sure the plane is still balanced maneuverable and safe. to sins to about forty meters above the ground so the water isn't pulverized into

a harmless mist before it reaches the flames. of course. 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. sports 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 of course display information about the flight navigation engine. but we also have special firefighting equipment. you can see a display that provides information and 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 a full there's no way you can fill up eight. carried out it tells him how much. by some the amounts of fuel already. a host of other nations reportedly interested in. hundreds. had to make modifications so that their products meet russian. standards and could also operate alongside foreign made equipment but in addition to those 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 new capabilities as well as expand the plane's functionality. we have now installed indicators on the
9:40 pm
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. there was. given its capabilities in times of need the plane has been called into action by a host of other countries russia's emergency service isn't going to agree serbian israel. governments are taking a closer look at the russian made plain it could be just one minute of california. mission free cretaceous and free. free. free free. free. free free. free

. the french invasion of russia has started again after two hundred years up at the. jet the emperor napoleon has arrived from overseas to lead the army i have to really take my time to prepare myself to get it right i know. the bloody battle near moscow is going to start over. james brown will reveal the victor the soldiers are back to do it all again. but you know version twenty twelve on r.t.e. .
9:42 pm
one they're made of instantly down here at water's edge where air shows are tracked 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. exhibition basically if there was a product they could be incorporated into a plane or ship there was a company promoting their latest iteration of it the biggest players were also in
9:43 pm
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 side 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. i was struck 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 there . 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 pool 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
9:44 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 a vessel in the caspian sea traveling faster than believed possible for a ship the. brainchild of. the pioneer the development of these ground effect vehicles. including a few with military applications. which means could launch
9:45 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 and went on to become the. popular and prevalent. but even before that. i was busy developing one of the world's very first hovercraft in nine hundred thirty five he built and tested his l one. we can see the continuation tradition here.
9:46 pm
is the place to look for such innovations. the city is home. to manufacturers of. countries like russia the ships put in areas. traditional. the bigger of these two. 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 say three hundred sixty five days
9:47 pm
9:48 pm
they were. to get this because it. helped us come up with. stability and control of the vessel. 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. the whole building up the pressure. on the other hand has fitted two inflatable tubes along side. of the keel. chambers underneath with suitable pressure. under the tube in the craft upwards the top tube is divided into
9:49 pm
five sections to make sure the craft continues to function even in the case of. any. greatly improve its gliding characteristics it can move like a water or snow with the same amount of. rain 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 traffic hover since there's minimal if any contact the ground the liability is significantly trickier than in other types of transport for the help of adequate to do the design the captains on board can effectively decrease the air pressure under the right and left sides independently which allows one side to drag
9:50 pm
and turn more sharply in that direction. higher above the water surface and there's another craft. floating effortlessly above the day my seaplane helps show that size doesn't always matter and that these small flyers 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 ladder can be extended down to the ground in any case but here 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
9:51 pm
9:53 pm
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 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.
9:56 pm
first of all it's unique because it can lift. it's the world's most powerful helicopters have entered serial production and 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 a different weight classes ours is more powerful it can lift heavy loads and on top of that it's fuel efficient. because it's repeatedly called transport. over the years it's told to run the. fuselage as well. like on the way with the new variation the t two ready for production. the main
9:57 pm
difference from the original design is what we've managed to reach all of our time tested solutions and high level of reliability but we've 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 eight. which is also produced. to me. for safety's sake.
