see the peak of russian innovation on today's show we catch a glimpse of his latest stealth fighter. we find out that's a cross between a battery and a combustion engine isn't just a load of. up and down the ground we learned about the mysterious night. but first let's take a look at some of the highlights of this month's show. the international aviation space show is the highlights of the calendar not just for aviation enthusiasts but for anyone who enjoys a good day out show started off in one thousand nine hundred ninety three when 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
9:30 pm
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 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 their craft can do this is especially important for military aircraft and mike says the perfect place for defense organizations to cooperate. a the most efficient.
9:31 pm
machine operation. is testament to the. difficult condition. isn't just to selling military hardware. to simple helicopter builds on the legacy of. the m.i. eight and is about thirty percent cheaper than anything else in the market under peaceful international cooperation doesn't 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. and of course there would be complete without a display from the study she. had been showing off their precise flying
9:32 pm
skills together for over ten years only ones with some slick moves to see the grace and agility of the passenger jets as they performed a seemingly impossible new business 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. 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 gave visits is 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. the. open architecture
9:33 pm
principle this means that components and systems can simply be. demonstrated to simulate craft the fixed base device the controls and avionics of the. and also be used to test all possible modifications 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 one 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 manages it could take over and save the day it is even capable of landing on unprepared air strips 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
9:34 pm
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 one seventy fifty 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 this in poland for example similar vehicles produced in the us 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
9:35 pm
maps on display for everyone to see up close with the exception of one because the stealthy design of this next jets makes it very hard that the park. is bush's fifth generation fighter. made its second appearance at the show but this was the first time that the media were able to get a slightly closer look the aircraft is radically different from its predecessors as well as being faster more intelligent and maneuverable scientists have what's hard to make it's a stealthy as possible the design 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. 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
9:36 pm
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 parked cars a stealth aircraft particularly attention has been paid to the leading edge of the wings which has been staggered the weapons which have been concealed the jet turbine blades which have been covered under tape which has come straight and those are just the bits we can see with the naked eye 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 have a catalyst for scientific advancement this is especially true of the radar which
9:37 pm
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. the 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 control to be split into two types detection and search and targeting radar detection in situ a dusk on a wide area once every fifteen to thirty seconds and operates on long radio waves they are used for early warning systems and surveillance targeting radars on the other hand much narrow area several times a second and a use for missile guidance systems targets tracking but it's not all doom and gloom for the aca. there are a number of ways of playing. a small. birds disappear altogether but it's not as easy as you might think
9:38 pm
a pilot can hold the ground to hide the plane in the field it's 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 force is not simple as just changing the color of. the coating has to be closely redesigned on a black your 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 composite materials such as 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 mold out of water it is then finished by hand before being sent on to the next stage play is a fiberglass and carbon fiber placed on the mold which is then sealed in
9:39 pm
a vacuum she was attached to the bag. and infused the mold with resin the seal is constantly checked to make sure there are no you perfections in the finished product. about seventy or. two percent of the fighter jets body is made of composite polymer material namely carbon fiber 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. started to form. which allows the plane to move as a high speeds. carbon fiber composite components also significantly decrease the visibility of the plane making it a stealth aircraft and russia has been quite successful in supplying this technology. as well as manufacturing composite
9:40 pm
aircraft components the company also specializes in producing multi-functional non-local tings a number of institutes around russia have been developing nano coatings for aircraft but unfortunately they didn't meet the high standards required for the latest jets. any aircraft 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 this lab has money to develop one that meets all of these requirements. and is applied in a special vacuum chamber. coating is made up of indian tin oxide and gold and is applied in a process known as sputtering layers of indian tin oxide and gold are applied in turns using an ionization process to build up a coating just spend nine millimeters thick but i'm afraid that's all we can say the exact makeup of the coating is a secret. our coating makes the surface forty to sixty
9:41 pm
percent less detectable by radar. in five to six times more resistant to abrasion which this provides a huge advantage in the field. it is also much more transparent. introduces reflection from inside the cockpit enabling the pilot to see the runway lights more clearly than pillows. 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. the coatings contain federal magnetic nano particles which are known for their radar absorbing 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 in stealth characteristics of the aircraft . the russian design of the fourth generation fighters using almost fifty
9:42 pm
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 the. most the composition 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 jobs over the material 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 effect long distances have a signals the radar behind this nose cone detects which signals are let through the
9:43 pm
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 and ran it or it's invisible more than 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 you 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 million sort of the star shapes reflects and distorted waves hitting the edge of the mirror it's awards the walls to avoid any erroneous reading this. the maiden flight of the past criticise the s g 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
9:44 pm
part i'm sure this isn't the last we'll see of its 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 even the. 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 from hundreds of miles away because of their radar location systems denying the enemy while ensuring unimpeded friendly access to rates 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 night shade plants which has been used throughout history for its poisonous and hallucinogenic properties and is
9:45 pm
a fitting name for this mobile radar jumma. this is no graded version of the system as use capable of jamming complex radio signals which is something we weren't able to do in the past also it is so. effective the one new system can replace three old ones. is money fight should bike funds which is part of radio electronic technologies it works by receiving the enemy radar signal processing it and sending the same but much more powerful signal by its where it came from all in a matter of milliseconds this causes the enemy's radar screen to light with noise leaving them on able to lock on to the target the radio frequencies of friendly forces can be programmed in as well so they aren't affected the cross suka to 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 of using it. also has
9:46 pm
a self leveling system the proposal to produce more then the in tennis starts working on the 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. 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 the radar screen which not only confuse the enemy but also produces friendly forces is such an enigmatic sight these planes don't stand a chance. to the end of the first so don't take off see you after the break.

9:50 pm
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 railway exhibition was held for the fourth time this month the international events led businesses demonstrate their latest 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 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 push an astrophysicist. and alex a star pinsky will award the group a 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 university so uniform
9:51 pm
and where galaxies come from. you know if this experiment proved that the universe has irregularities of nature. in keeping with this month's aviation theme we travel to the quiet town of china to see a world where pot is lost up to five times longer and scientists play with planes to make our lives. on truckin a lot. also may already have come to china or go off on the swiss so migrating self but that doesn't mean that the scientists have gone to hibernation. in fact their latest innovation is just about to take off here the institute of problems of
9:52 pm
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 of all the benefits of apaches or combustion engines they are quieter cooler cleaner and have 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. a lot of the research and development the instance of 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
9:53 pm
a battery but like an engine they require fuel which in this case is hydrogen. to the technology originate. there were a 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 nine hundred eighty s. if you need to get a quick when you get a good there. a basic hydrogen fuel cell consists of 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
9:54 pm
catalyst which generates water and heat these things fuel cells can be stacked to produce as much power as necessary. i felt 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 but there would be no firstly unmanned aircraft. secondly these devices are not very technically. but they require extremely accurate weight and i mentioned parameters the weight of this power source is one of its main benefits is to think of. the institute has three different draw 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
9:55 pm
up to thirty four hours this terrel he has been adapted to take three d. images of buildings and to reign 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 winter olympic facilities in sochi. with unmanned aircraft is a flying. machine in which you can demonstrate that and if this technology works it can also be used in large 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
9:56 pm
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 a special interest to telecoms and intensive care units where reliable energy source community difference between life and death a german company is currently looking for localized production of this units in russia which can generate at the to close of energy for up to seventy two hours that he so we are using western experience in russian and developments need in implementing russian developments in western product hopefully what we do here 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 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 aviation special but whether your frequent flyer or
