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».

    Order Code RL30730 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Russian Fighter Aircraft Industrial Base: Parallels with the United States? November 8, 2000 Christopher Bolkcom Analyst in National Defense Ellen Schwarzler Research Associate Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service The Library of Congress This CRS Report was prepared at the request of Representative James Talent. It has been released for general congressional use with his permission. Russian Fighter Aircraft Industrial Base: Parallels with the United States? Summary There are many differences between the fighter aircraft industry in the United States and in Russia. The United States has traditionally produced its weaponry within a capitalist framework which allowed free enterprise and competition between companies in private industry. The former Soviet Union’s economy, and its fighter aircraft industry was based on a Marxist, command economy, where the central government dictated the type and number of aircraft produced and allocated resources for construction. Once among the most glamorous components of the Soviet military industrial complex, the Russian military aircraft industry has been described by some analysts as being on the verge of collapse. Russia’s civilian aircraft industry has faced similar pressures, which does not bode well for the military aviation infrastructure. It may be difficult for fighter aircraft companies to find employment in Russia’s beleaguered civil aircraft sector. The Russian government has attempted to reform its fighter aircraft industrial base and make it more efficient and competitive with western industry. It has initiated several reforms aimed at reducing the stratification and compartmentalization of industrial processes, as well as improving access to financial resources.

  • PERSA Working Paper No. 22
    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.

I’ve told you about Harvey; Vietnam Vet, thousand yard stare, a homespun philosopher with a greying ponytail and more than his fair share of tats. He tends to think for a while before he speaks. And he reckons he does his best thinking while listening to the Grateful Dead at volumes that blister the paint on his garage walls. Fortunately, he’s got extremely tolerant neighbours. We’d just cracked our first tinnies of the day and were watching out the door as the sun eased down towards the horizon, tinting a few streaky clouds crimson and gold. Alongside Harvey stood his immaculate, gleaming Harley and beside that stood his equally gleaming, perfectly laid out tool board. I don’t have a tool board at my place. In fact, I don’t even have any tools. My wife says I’m dangerous with a tool in my hand. I don’t really know what to make of that… but on the plus side it does get me out of a fair few home maintenance chores. (See, I’m not as stupid as I look; well, not quite.) Anyway, we watched nature’s light show for a bit, then Harvey says, “What do you make of this heightened terrorism alert.” “Well,” I replied, “I’m not expecting anything too exciting in our street any time soon.” “I guess,” he said, “life must seem fairly simple to anyone who thinks the solution to every problem is to blow something up.” I took a long drink while I thought about it.

  • 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.

Arbeitskreis Luft- und Raumfahrt Hamburg Aerospace Lecture Series Hamburger Luft- und Raumfahrtvorträge DGLR in cooperation with the RAeS, HAW Hamburg, VDI, & ZAL invites you to a lecture Seaplane Design - A Forgotten Art Prof. Dr.-Ing. Elmar Wilczek, Expert in Marine Aviation Lecture followed by discussion Date: Thursday, 20 May 2021, 18:00 CEST No registration required ! Online Zoom lecture Online: http://purl.org/ProfScholz/zoom/2021-05-20 Beriev Be-200 Altair – Courtesy of United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) A seaplane gives the ultimate freedom of flight with theoretically endless take-off and alighting possibilities along the coast, on lakes and rivers – and not to forget on the open seas. The design of seaplanes is based on the knowledge of aircraft design and speedboat design. The craft must meet buoyancy and lift requirements. Hydrostatic and -dynamic stability has to be matched with the longitudinal and lateral static and dynamic stability in the air. The structure has to withstand water and air loads. Crucial are hydrodynamic resistance at take-off as well as the lift-to-drag ratio in flight and particularly the water loads in defined sea states. Sea plane design has a glorious past, but much of the knowledge is buried in dusty archives. It is even worse if knowledge is lost forever and needs to be reinvented. Elmar Wilczek has taught seaplane design for decades. In his presentation he will focus on particular research results among others: the importance of water spray for hydrodynamic resistance, scale effects, hydrodynamic elasticity for seaworthiness, length-to-beam ratio for hydrodynamics and aerodynamics.

Tokarev hroughout history, despite the influence of Alfred Thayer Mahan’s concepts, continental European and Asian navies have had a simple choice to make: Teither to create a balanced fleet to engage another balanced fleet at sea and defeat it in one or more “decisive battles” or to take an “asymmetrical approach,” creat- ing an “unbalanced” navy, able to prevent the enemy from achieving sea control and to keep one’s own vital sea lines of communication (SLOCs), if one has any, untouched by the enemy’s naval forces. In the case of Russia, the era of a blue-water, balanced navy ended with defeat in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905. Russia did not lose the capability to build capital ships, nor did the context for their employment evaporate.
