    Communiqué De Presse

    Paris, 6th June 2017 PRESS RELEASE First Flight of Russian Aircraft MC-21 Nexeya supplies avionics integration and simulation tools Russia United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) successfully completed the maiden flight of their new MC-21- 300 commercial aircraft at Irkutsk Aviation Plant airfield. Being a modern aircraft, the MC-21 operates with numerous state of the art computer-controlled systems supporting safety-critical flight functions. While this may have been the first time its complex avionics systems have been tested in flight, they have been successfully integrated and tested on the ground thanks to TechSAT’s Avionics Development System ADS2 platform solution. This ADS2 platform enabled UAC Integration Center to test and validate the full MC-21 avionic suits prior to the first flight. Holistic tests including complex operational scenarios were performed during every phases of the design and development of the program ensuring maximum safety and superior performance of the aircraft. TechSAT (a Nexeya company) is proud to be part of the MC-21 program. «TechSAT solutions were designed and built on schedule; all test rigs were thus completed on time», says Victor SINITSYN, head of section at the UAC Integration Center. «ADS2 is a powerful, flexible, and stable product, to perform all required tests. ADS2 keeps its promises. ADS2 functionality is 100% reliable. TechSAT teams are open and skilled to meet customer needs». Marco Häde, TechSAT director of operations : «The key feature of TechSAT’s solutions for MC-21 simulation systems is the integration of all LRUs involved and the cockpit into a real hardware-in-the-loop setup.

Gen. Viktor Bondarev, commander of the Russian Aerospace Forces told the Moscow-based TASS News Agency on March 2. Russia made the decision to extend the development of the Tupolev PAK-DA in favor of the Tu- 160M2 in 2015. Serial production of the new Blackjack variant is expected to start in 2023. According to Russia’s deputy defense minister Yuri Borisov—as cited by TASS—the Tu-160M2 has been fundamentally upgraded with completely new mission systems and other improvements over the existing M variant. “This will be essentially a new airplane, not a Tu-160 but a Tu-160M2,” Borisov told RIA Novosti last year. Details on the exact nature of the Tu-160M2 upgrades are scarce. Presumably, Tupolev has made long-overdue adjustments to the airframe that were supposed to have been implemented during the Blackjack’s original production run.

    Numbered Soviet Aviation Factories, 1921–1941 Keith Dexter University of Warwick [email protected] PERSA Working Paper No. 22 Political Department of Economics Economy Research in Soviet Archives Version: 15 October 2002 Numbered Soviet Aviation Factories, 1921-1941 Keith Dexter World War 1 accelerated the growth of the Russian aviation industry which, towards the end of 1917 employed 10-12,000 people in 27 factories of which, 14 manufactured aircraft, 7 aeroengines, 3 propellers and skis, 2 electrical engine components and 1 aviation instruments. Sources differ from a minimum total of 21 to a maximum of 29 aviation factories but the figures quoted above seem sensible. All these facilities were privately owned. In addition, seven more plants were being built. However aircraft technology had not kept pace with the rest of Europe; all engines and 70% of airframes were still based on foreign designs. In spite of the civil unrest which erupted in 1917 1,099 aircraft and 374 engines were built. The Revolution and Civil War reduced these numbers in 1918 to 225 and 79 respectively and the upheavals wrought by the continuation of the Civil War ensured that only 668 new aircraft and 264 aeroengines were produced during that time; it is understandable that throughout this troubled period aircaft could not be given high prority. Nationalisation of the aircraft industry began slowly in January 1918 and continued until the end of the year at the earliest. In June 1918 Lenin signed a decree to extend the nationalisation to cover all means of production; a lengthy process and one fraught with many problems.

    CAUSALFACTORS ‘clash of motives’ The Tu-154 pilot knew that the approach was unsafe but was strongly motivated to land. © Jan Ostrowski/Airliners.net 20 | FLIGHT SAFETY FOUNDATION | AEROSAFETYWORLD | FEBRUARY 2011 CAUSALFACTORS BY MARK LACAGNINA he flight crew’s failure to proceed to an alternate airport after being told repeatedly that the weather conditions at Smolensk (Russia) Severny Airdrome were significantly lower than the nonprecision approach minimums was the “immediate cause” of the controlled Tflight into terrain accident that killed all 96 people aboard a Tupolev 154M the morning of April 10, 2010, according to the final report by the Russian Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC). The IAC also faulted the crew’s continued descent below the decision height without visual contact with ground references and their failure to re- spond to numerous terrain awareness and warning system (TAWS) warnings. The aircraft, operated by the Polish Ministry of Defense, was trans- porting Polish President Lech Kaczynski and other government officials, as well as parliament members, clergy and others to attend an event mark- ing the 70th anniversary of the massacre of Polish intellectuals, politicians and military officers in Katyn, according to media reports. The IAC report said that the presence on the flight deck of the commander-in-chief of the Polish air force during the approach exerted “psychological pressure on the PIC’s [pilot-in-command’s] decision to con- tinue descent in the conditions of unjustified risk with a dominating aim of landing at any means.” The four flight crewmembers were Polish air force pilots assigned to a special regiment conducting VIP flights.

  • Russia Considers Developing a 40-Seat Turboprop Based on the Let L-610 Design

    Russia Considers Developing a 40-Seat Turboprop Based on the Let L-610 Design

    50SKYSHADESImage not found or type unknown- aviation news RUSSIA CONSIDERS DEVELOPING A 40-SEAT TURBOPROP BASED ON THE LET L-610 DESIGN News / Manufacturer Image not found or type unknown © 2015-2021 50SKYSHADES.COM — Reproduction, copying, or redistribution for commercial purposes is prohibited. 1 In the small 30 to 60-seat turboprop market – and in direct competition with local project the modernised Ilyushin IL-114 – Russia is considering the development of a 40-seat regional turboprop aircraft based on the 30-year old Let L-610, a prototype aircraft originally developed by the Czech civil aircraft manufacturer Let Kunovice. The state is considering replacing the obsolete Soviet/Ukrainian An-24/26s, some 60 of which are still operational across the country, Russian Aviation Insider understands. The new aircraft is likely to be based on the Let L-610 platform, which was created in Czechoslovakia. The twin-engine turboprop made its maiden flight in December 1988. Russia’s Ministry for industry and trade believes the new product can fill the niche between the 19-seat L-410UVP-E20 and the 60-seat Ilyushin 114-300. The L-410UVP-E20 was also developed and produced by Let Kunovice, which was renamed Aircraft Industries once it became a subsidiary of Russia’s Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company (UMMC) in 2008. Over the last two years, media attention – ignited by governmental interest and some state comments surrounding the L-610 – has been gaining momentum. It was, for example, described as a ‘prospective project’ in the roadmap for the development of the so-called Titanium Valley – a special economic zone near Yekaterinburg, an initiative which was announced in 2016 by Evgeny Kuyvashev, the governor of Sverdlovsk Region.
