the aircraft manufacturing industry always drives innovation throughout the world because to be competitive in this industry you have to excel in a number of different areas that's why this industry receives so much investment some people say that for every ruble invested in new technologies for aircraft manufacturing you get a return of seven rubles because of the positive effect this provides for all the other industries. i'm sure that return on investment was the last thing on people's mind when the flight program started as well as the crowds the demonstrations give money fighters the opportunity to show off exactly what they can do this is especially important for military aircraft and mike says the perfect place for defense organizations to cooperate with. the most efficient helicopter unit close. and the fact that the u.s. has purchased machines for its operations. is testament to the.

difficult conditions. but mike's isn't just for selling military hardware. to civil helicopter builds on the legacy of. the m.i. eight and he's about thirty percent cheaper than anything else in the market under peaceful international cooperation doesn't end their company russian helicopters presented the first prototype of his luxurious k. sixty two passenger helicopter the helicopter is fitted with french engines marking the first time the company has teamed up with a european partner is still undergoing tests but the company is order received a number of orders. under of course show would be complete without a display from the. teams the two groups have been showing off their precise flying skills together. for ten years only ones with some slick moves see the grace and

agility of passenger jets as they perform to seemingly impossible maneuvers to such large aircraft would be enough to cure any one of the fear of flying but i doubt you'd find many people willing to take to the air in this kind of. think even for thinking that all the action was taking place outside as well as providing shelter from the inclement weather the pavilions also gave visits of all ages and insights into the high technology that keeps the aircraft in the skies and. also seized the opportunity to show the future of aviation with twenty one to medium range to hit the market in two thousand and seventeen it will be built with confidence and materials and economic engines which make you greener. probably makes it more comfortable for those inside. the russian civil aircraft to be built around the open architecture principle this means that components and systems can simply be swapped out if they need repairing or grading. the company also demonstrated the

simulator for the aircraft the fixed base device emulates the controls and avionics of the twenty one and can also be used to test out. to the plane. it was designed by russia's c k t company and dutch company sim industries and will also be used for a pilot training program. and talking of training pilots thirty is capable of simulating the feel of flying fourth and fifth generation jets it is also extremely difficult to get into a flat spin but if the rookie pilot somehow money does it take over and save the day is even capable of landing on. it's not surprising it was voted the best train at the paris air show this year. max isn't just a place to showcase aircraft i want to the highlights of the show this year was this prototype. parts. a next generation space ship that will serve
7:33 am
the international space station and possibly even go beyond this space ship will be bigger than the so you ships making it more comfortable for the cosmonauts inside. this is such a complex piece of technology that there are only two countries in the world that are capable of producing it and even they do this only once every fifteen years we do our best to keep all the equipment here as compact as possible to leave more room for the cosmonauts so they can stand here without having to screw it up this isn't poland for example similar vehicles produced in the us don't have enough room to stand up and. this is a multi-purpose vehicle that they can be used both for taking cosmonauts into orbit and for traveling to the moon and. all of the aircraft that maps on the space for everyone to see up close with the exception of one because the stealthy design of this next jets makes it very hard. the park forty

fifty is bush's fifth generation fighter the supersonic jet made its second appearance at the max air show but this was the first time that the media were able to get a slightly closer look at the aircraft is radically different from its predecessors as well as being faster more intelligent and maneuverable scientists have which hard to make it as stealthy as possible the design bureau which is part of the united aircraft corporation works very closely with the various research centers of the russian academy of sciences for example we've been working together on this fifth generation fighter jets. and i believe to something that is on a par with the best models in this class worldwide the part is the him for humans at the fusion between theoretical science and practical application and he's one of only a few fifth generation finds his in the world. we've got competition from china and japan has also announced that it's going to develop its own. fifth generation
7:35 am
fighter but so far neither china nor japan have presented any working prototypes of their aircraft so the only objects that can be compared to the t. fifty is the f. twenty two generally speaking these two planes have a lot in common but only time will show in what way one is better than the other. the park is a stealth aircraft particularly attention has been paid to the leading edge of the wings which has been staggered the weapons bays which have been concealed the jet turbine blades which have been covered and the air intake which is going straight and those are just the bits we can see with the naked eye the plane must also be shielded from external interference whilst also emitting signals of its own without being detected with military planes being so well protected against electronic interference i bet the pilots don't have to turn off their mobile phones when taking off and landing military conflicts often as a catalyst for scientific advancement this is especially true of the radar which first proved itself as a viable means of defense at the end of the second world war since then plane

developers have been trying to outmaneuver each other to get the upper hand on the battlefield a simple radar system is made up of a transmitter under receiver the transmitter emits radio waves which bounce off an object such as this aircraft and are picked up by the receiver unit she radars can be split into two types detection and search and targeting radar detection and see a tradeoff scan the y. dariya once every fifteen to thirty seconds and operates on long radio waves they are used for early warning systems and surveillance targets on the other hand much narrow area several times a second and a use for missile guidance systems and targets tracking but it's not all doom and gloom for the actual. number of ways. a small. bird disappear altogether but it's not as easy as you might think a pilot can hold the ground to hide the plane and not through. this makes find much more dangerous the shape of the plane can also. discuss the radio waves in any

make sure there are no imperfections in the finished product. about seventy or eighty percent of the fighter jets biology is made of compazine materials namely carbon fiber we're all working on modifying the composite materials with carbon. which will help further improve the jury ability of the components. at speeds of over one thousand kilometers per hour it's all to do former. c.e.o. for appeal. which allows the plane to move his high speeds. carbon fiber composite components also significantly decrease the visibility on the plane making it a stealth aircraft and russia has been quite successful in supplying the stealth technology. as one's manufacturing composite components the company also specializes in producing multi-functional nano coatings . a number of institutes around russia have been developing nano coatings for

aircraft was unfortunately they didn't meet the high standards required for the jets. must protect the pilot from electromagnetic radiation the sun should not contribute to the plane's radar profile and must of course be as transparent as possible. to develop one that meets all of these requirements. and is applied in a special vacuum chamber. of oxide and gold and is applied in a process known as sputtering. oxide and gold are applied in turns using an ionization process to build just spend nine millimeters thick but i'm afraid that's all we can say the exact makeup of the kosi is a secret. makes the surface forty to sixty percent less detectable by radar. in five to six times more resistant to.
7:40 am
this provides a huge advantage in the field. is also much more transparent which reduces reflection from inside the cockpit enabling the pilot to see the runway lights more clearly. fortunately we weren't allowed to film how the coatings are applied to the other aircraft components either. dissimilar to painting a large civil airliner. contain federal magnetic nano particles which are known for their radar absorbent. on just applied evenly all over the plane. different. things are applied to different parts of the plane invariant thicknesses. this attention to microscopic detail can give potentially huge benefits in the flight characteristics of the aircraft. generation fighter using almost fifty generation technology. football the t.

fifty shows up on radar as an object the size of a tennis ball so you can see the progress that we've made to. homes to compensate components have been produced on a nano coatings applied their radar signature is tested in this on a co-equal echo free chamber at the institute of theoretical and applied electrodynamics here in moscow the chamber is completely covered to invade dobbs over terril the height of the sponge pyramids corresponds with the frequency of electromagnetic radiation the climate inside the chamber is controlled and all the equipment is built on the same foundation to prevent any vibrations from affecting the regions and this is how it works. the electromagnetic wave transceivers are located on the bottom of the chamber the waves are directed towards the mirror which conversely to plane waves simulation effects long distances have a signals the radar behind this news condit's takes which signals a letter through the rest are scattered about the room and some are reflected back to the mirror and pizza by the transceiver which gives an indication of the noses

radar profile. it's impossible to make the effect if surface of a plane equals zero or it's invisible what is possible is to minimize the distance at which it is detected and that's the aim of stealth technology it would give the chamber is so sensitive that it can even measure the radar signature of a ball bearing with a diameter of just one millimeter this is partly thanks to the giants parabolic mirror that has a position of thirty millions of a metre the starships reflects and distorted waves hitting the edge of the mirror it's awards the walls to avoid any erroneous reading. the maiden flight of the past criticise the su twenty seven took place thirty years ago and the old dated versions will still be in service in thirty years time so we such attention to detail and high technology go into the stealthy part i'm sure this isn't the last we'll see of it's either. or is it. with supersonic stealth fighter jets and the

it may seem like anything on the ground doesn't stand a chance but this next piece of equipment is a must. as may just be in the. military engagements are being carried out less and less on the battlefield and more and more on the electromagnetic spectrum. jets and drones can devastate infrastructure troops and fleets from hundreds of miles away because of their radar location systems denying the enemy while ensuring unimpeded friendly access to aids can seriously improve and defense ship losses can be hard to an aircraft losses can be reduced up to six fold. this is the role that. the russian word for the deadly nightshade plant which has been used throughout history for its poisonous and hallucinogenic properties and is a fitting name for this mobile radar jamma. this is no graded version of the system

as he's capable of jamming complex radio signals which is something we weren't able to do in the past also it is so effective that one new system can replace three old ones. through its money fight should bike funds which is part of radio electronic technology is its will expire receiving the enemy signal processing it and sending the exact same but much more powerful signal by its where it came from all in a matter of milliseconds this causes the enemies radar screen to lights up with noise leaving them unable to lock onto the targets the radio frequencies are friendly forces can be programmed in as well so they aren't affected across who could too also has other advantages over the previous models. are able to get works also massacre if you've noticed it assumes the necessary right away and not just any position using its laws and. also has a self leveling system the publisher and producer then the intent of starts working on this. nation is fully functional and ready to detect targets. the system is

capable of hiding areas of hundreds of kilometers square and make it appear as if atomic power stations ports contrib cons never even existed is can also use passive radar to triangulate the position of any bogeys without giving away its own position. also has another trick up its sleeve it can make false targets appear on the radar screen which not only confuse the enemy but also boosts friendly forces is such an enigmatic ally on our side these planes don't stand a chance. that's just the end of the first half so don't take off see you after the break and. wealthy british style the sun rose in time to write for.

the latest innovation is just about to take off here the institute of problems of chemical physics from the outside it may look like we're a group of boys with the toys but this was inside this plane the masses this is the first plane in russia to be powered soley by hydrogen fuel cells could fly for ninety minutes on a lithium polymer battery which may not seem that bad but now it's insides have been replaced they can stay in the air for almost eight hours. as well as being able to fly longer hydrogen fuel cells of other benefits over batteries or combustion engines they are quieter cooler cleaner and have a high energy conversion rate and compared to botches their lights and have a longer operating life hydrogen is an extremely clean fuel as it's only a mission is water and it can even be produced using energy from the sun so having seen what it could do i was keen to find out more. of the research and development that went into creating the fuel cells was carried out in this lab
7:51 am
a fuel cell is like a cross between a battery and an engine they generate electricity like a battery but like an engine they require a fuel which in this case is hydrogen where do the technology originate. there were fuel cells produced which were used in space similar ones were used in submarines and are still in use to this very day so the initial technology was finalized and completed in its current form. tween the one nine hundred seventy s. and one nine hundred eighty s. if you need to rethink. a basic hydrogen fuel cell consists of approach an exchange membrane or electrolyte in the middle a catalyst on either side and i note and cathode and two graphite flow feel plates hydrogen flows on one side of the membrane and on the other the catalyst splits the hydrogen molecule into protons and electrons the protons can pass through the membrane of the electrons concert and have to pass through a circuit which generates electricity. on the other side of the membrane the
7:52 am
protons and electrons reacts with the oxygen from the air thanks to the other catalyst which generates water and heat these thin fuel cells can be stacked to produce as much power as necessary. i dealt to the plane would get very far for used to take graphite plates using hydrogen cars so the institute has managed to miniaturize its technology to such an extent that this block contains over one hundred fuel cells the flow fields that channel the gas saw etched into thin sheets of carbon in a slab and the finished fuel cells are tested in this machine so why did they decide to stick them in unmanned aircraft. would be firstly unmanned aircraft. secondly these devices are not very technically. but they require extremely accurate weight and yet i mentioned parameters the weight of this power source is one of its main benefits if we think of it that the institute has three different
7:53 am
drone models based around the same fuel cell system the design of the aircraft is tailored to the role it must perform one of them can even fly for up to thirty four hours this potato easy has been adapted to take three d. images of buildings interrail the fuel cells are perfectly suited to the long flights required to take the high resolution images and do no damage the environment is can also be used to check for breaks in remote pole lines and is currently monitoring the construction of the wind. olympic facilities in sochi. bill an unmanned aircraft is a flying machine in which you can demonstrate that wing if this technology works it can also be used in large aviation but not directly at all aircraft have no exit or a power unit which is used to heat the food at the air conditioning and a number of other flight functions are all the world's leading companies have their own hydrogen fuel cell projects. and our company is working with them on creating these power cells of
7:54 am
a slightly different scale. aside from aviation fuel cells offer a greener quiet and more reliable alternative to diesel backup generators as well as being useful for those living in remote areas it is of special interest to telecoms in intensive care units where reliable energy source community difference between life and death a german company is currently looking to localise production of this units in russia which can generate of the to close of energy for up to seventy two hours that he so we are using western experience in russian and developments in implementing russian developments in western products hopefully what we do here with the russian developed a membrane electronic units will return to the west and as a finished product. the only possible drawback of fuel cells is the use of compressed gas cylinders to store the hydrogen. because when you're explains that they only fill the super strong composite gasoline to just hottest racing of six hundred atmospheres i no longer felt the need to run and duck for cover i'm afraid
