good day out show started off in one thousand nine hundred ninety three where the focus was mainly on entertainment since then it's evolved into an important business event given the high flies of the aviation industry a chance to sell their wares this year marks smashed its own attendance record with over one hundred fifty thousand people braving the elements to visit the event in just one day business also proved with companies signing agreements and contracts with twenty one point two billion dollars which is significantly more than last time believing this has wider implications than just the aviation industry. 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
11:30 am
other industries. i'm sure that return on investment was the last thing on people's mind when the flight program started. 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. and the fact that the u.s. has purchased machines for its operations. is testament to the. difficult conditions. put mike's isn't just for selling military hardware. to civil helicopter builds on the legacy. and is about thirty percent cheaper than anything. the market under peaceful
11:31 am
international cooperation doesn't end the company russian helicopters presented the first prototype of its 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 ground but the company is already received a number of orders. and of course no marks would be complete without a display from the under the. teams the two groups have been showing off their precise flying skills together for over ten years they weren't the only ones with some slick moves to see the grace under. as they performed seemingly impossible maneuvers to such large aircraft would be enough to cure anyone of their fear of flying but i doubt you'd find many people willing to take to the air in this kind of charge and. you'd be forgiven for thinking that all the action was taking place outside as well as providing shelter from the inclement weather the pavilions also
11:32 am
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 jets he's due to hit the market in two thousand and seventeen it will be built with confidence and materials and economic engines which make you greener on the wide economy makes it more comfortable for those inside. it is the first russian civil aircraft to be built around the open architecture principle 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 m s twenty one and can also be used to test the cations to the plane. it was designed by russia c k t company and dutch company sim industries and will also be used for a pilot training program. and talking of training pilots this yard thirty is
11:33 am
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 manages it the eye could take over and save the day it is even capable of landing on unprepared as trips 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 and one of the highlights of the show this year was this prototype by odyssey and eric here. is part of a next generation space ship that will serve the international space station and possibly even go beyond the 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
11:34 am
room for the cosmonauts so they can stand here without having to do this in poland for example similar vehicles produced in the u.s. don't have enough room to stand up and. this is a multi purpose 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 yet 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 worked hard to make it as stealthy as possible the design bureau. which is part of the
11:35 am
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. part. of 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 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. craft particularly attention has been paid to the leading edge of the wings which has been staggered the weapons which have been concealed the jet
11:36 am
turbine blades which have been covered and the air intake which is go straight and those are just the bits we can see with the naked eye the plane must also be shielded from external interference 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 of 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. 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 military radars can be split into two types detection and search and targeting radar detection in situ a dusk and a wide area once every fifteen. thirty seconds and operates on long radio waves
11:37 am
they are used for early warning systems and surveillance targeting very docile near the hunt 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 acolyte there are a number of ways of playing. a small. birds disappear altogether but it's not as easy as you might think a pilot can hold the grounds hide the plane and not truly. this makes flying much more dangerous the shape of the plane can also be discussed on the radio waves in any direction apart from but the receiver this in a serious situation is the felicity in speed however there is another way is not so simple as just changing the color of. the coating has to be closely redesigned on a molecular level zero and pay attention along here is located in the company not only conducts research into composite materials and nano coatings but also focuses on the real life application in the aviation industry compas that material such as
11:38 am
carbon fiber often numerous benefits over those traditionally used in aircraft and that's why the pot farm is full of them to make an aircraft of carbon fiber a mold must first be made the company uses milling machines carefully to cook the most dots of what it is then finished by hand before being sent on to the next stage play is a fiberglass. which is then sealed in a vacuum bag attached to the bag. and infuse the mold with the seal is constantly check to make sure there are no you perfections in the finished product. about seventy or eighty percent of the fighter jets body is made of compazine. namely carbon fiber 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. started to form.
11:39 am
which allows the plane to move as a. carbon fiber composite components also significantly decrease the visibility of the plane making it. and russia has been quite successful in supplying this technology. as well as manufacturing composite aircraft components the company also specializes in producing multi-functional nano quiltings a number of institutes around russia have been developing. and fortunately they didn't meet the high standards required for the latest jets. must protect the pilot from electromagnetic radiation the sun should not contribute to the plane's radar and most of course be as transparent as possible. to develop one that meets all of these requirements. and this applied in
11:40 am
a special vacuum chamber. oxide and gold and is applied in a process known as sputtering layers of. gold are applied in turns using an ionization process to build up a coating just nine millimeters thick but i'm afraid that's all we can say the exact makeup of the coaching is a secret. coating it makes the surface forty to sixty percent less detectable by radar and it's from that in five to six times more resistant to a brazen. this provides a huge advantage in the field and for produce which is also much more transparent which reduces reflection from inside the cockpit enabling the pilot to see the runway lights more clearly. unfortunately we weren't allowed to film how the coatings are applied to the other aircraft components either but it isn't dissimilar to painting a large civil airliner. coatings contain federal magnetic nano particles which are
11:41 am
known for their radar absorbent properties on just applied evenly all over the plane. different radar absorbent coatings are applied to different parts of the plane invariant thicknesses. this attention to microscopic detail can give potentially huge benefits in the flight and stealth characteristics of the aircraft . design a fourth generation fighter using almost fifty generation technology showed up on radar as objects the size of a football but 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 the best of. monster composition components have been produced on a nano coatings applied their radar signature is tested in the anechoic or echo free chamber at the institute of theoretical and applied electrodynamics here in moscow the chamber is completely covered invade dobs over terril the height of the
11:42 am
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 america which conversely to plane waves simulation effects long distances. signals the radar behind this nose cone the takes which signals are let 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 nose 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 you know. the chamber is so sensitive that you can even measure the radar signature of a ball bearing with
11:43 am
a diameter of just one millimeter this is partly thanks to the giants parabolic mirror that has a position of thirty million sort of meets the star shapes reflects any distorted waves hitting the edge of the mirror it's awards the walls to avoid any erroneous reading this. the maiden flight of the. the su twenty seven took place thirty years ago and the old data 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 in 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 even the odds. military engagements are being carried out less and less on the battlefield and more and more on the electromagnetic spectrum. rockets jets and drones can devastate infrastructure troops and fleets
11:44 am
from hundreds of miles away because of their radar location systems denying the enemy while ensuring unimpeded friendly access to raids can seriously improve and defense ship losses can be hard to an aircraft losses can be reduced to up to six fold this is the role that. the russian word for the deadly night shade plants which has been used throughout history for. it's poisonous on hallucinogenic properties and is a fitting name for this mobile radar. this is no graded version of the system as use a 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 these money fight should bike funds which is part of radio electronic technologies it 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
11:45 am
a matter of milliseconds this causes the enemy's radar screen to light with noise leaving them unable to lock on to the targets the radio frequencies are friendly forces can be programmed in as well so they aren't affected the cross who could sue also has other advantages over the previous models. are able to get works also massive 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 pollution to produce more then the intent of starts working on this station is fully functional and ready to detect. the system is capable of hiding areas of hundreds of kilometers square and make it appear as if atomic power stations ports can treat coal is never even existed it 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
11:46 am
the radar screen which not only confuse the enemy but also produces 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 so don't take off see you after the break. wealthy british style. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy in these kinds of reports. to speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world's hot spots fifty yard p.

welcome bok marks may have stolen the so this time let's take a quick look back at this most all the news. spites ministers from the seven states participating in that project met in france on the sixth of september which is based around the russian event it's the world's largest experimental fusion facility and has the potential to solve the world's energy problems during the meeting the ministers reaffirmed the importance all on the dedication of the project. the expo fifteen exhibition was held for the fourth time this month the international events led businesses demonstrate the trains rail cars and engineering equipment to potential buyers among the highlights was a model of a next generation metro jointly designed by siemens and washing machines the metro
11:49 am
is more comfortable spacious quieter cheaper to run and easy to maintain in those currently in service so hopefully to make my commute in the morning a little less stressful bush an astrophysicist. and alex a star pinsky were awarded the gruber cosmology prize for their contributions to inflationary theory by predicting the period before the big bang theory is an essential components to understanding the evolution and structure of the universe it explains why the universe you so uniform and where galaxies come from. significant who wish to radio astronomy. number of different experiments followed including i mean i. explore an experiment. for which george smooch received the nobel prize. you know if this experiment proved that the universe has irregularities.
11:50 am
in keeping with this month's aviation theme we travel to the quiet. to see a world where boxes last up to five times longer and scientists play with planes to make our lives. on something a lot. also may already have come to china or go off on the switch so migrating self but that doesn't mean that the scientists have gone into hibernation. in fact 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 that matters 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 no 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 are all the benefits over batteries or combustion engines they are quieter cooler cleaner and have
11:51 am
a high energy conversion rate 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 he 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 a fuel cell is like a cross between a battery and an engine they generate electricity like a tree but like an engine they require a fuel which in this case is hydrogen. to the technology originate. the 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 get with me. a basic hydrogen fuel cell consists of
11:52 am
a proton exchange membrane or electrolytes 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 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 doubt the plane would get very far to be used to take graphite plates using hydrogen cars so the institute has managed to miniaturize the technology to such an extent that this block contains over one hundred fuel cells the flow fields that channel the gas are 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 what good it would be firstly unmanned
11:53 am
aircraft. secondly these devices are not very technically. but they require extremely accurate in weight and i mentioned parameters the weight of this power source is one of its main benefits if we think of it bag the institute has three different 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 all to thirty four hours this terrel he has been adapted to take three d. images of buildings and to rain 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 this currently monitoring the construction of the wind. limpy crystal it is in sochi. with unmanned aircraft is a flying machine which you can demonstrate but only if this technology works it can
11:54 am
also be used in larger aviation but not directly at all aircraft have no power units 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 a slightly different scale. aside from aviation fuel cells offer a greener quiet set 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 too 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
11:55 am
with the russian developed a membrane electronic units will return 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 a explains that they only fill the super strong composite gas cylinder to just hottest racing of six hundred atmospheres i no longer felt the need to run and duck for cover i'm afraid that's it for this month's aviation special but whether your frequent flyer or you've quit to keep your feet firmly planted on the ground enjoy the ride. well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports from. the players and no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point to say that if mr kerry had
11:56 am
a car is on the docket no god. no more weasel words. when you have a direct question be prepared for a change when you approach punch be ready for a battle for the ops peach and down to freedom to crush. the media leave us so we leave that maybe. i will see bush and security play your part of the musical. bush use that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politics only on our t.v. . i want to. pick up something that is quite simply a mess. was no way over. clearly they
11:57 am
were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. and sold to the us and turned over to the us for a bounty to the soul that could be buried a lot i. was saved with great over. and they want to turn me into a terrorist so it is with them they wanted me to admit that i was a member of al qaeda or taliban but i fought with them. about time i didn't even know what al qaeda is nevertheless there are people. brave enough to start a fight. something's going to be done that's going to be done by me in the span of a short amount of time to do it but it's going to impact me i'd be prosecuted but it's not going to impact. the wife my daughter. the one time or trapped. on our t.v.
