The achievements of Russian aviation

From beginning to the end

• To begin with that history of the Russian aviation, as it is not paradoxical, has its origin in MV Lomonosov who in 1754 introduced the scientific world more aerodynamic models that could get in the air and even move a small weight. One hundred years later A.M.Mozhaysky Navy officer in St. Petersburg at the Manezh demonstrated, designed by a model airplane with a fixed wing. Model, which was, of course, heavier than air, showed excellent flying qualities. According to the results of this demonstration and based on the authors' calculations, it was decided to build the aircraft, which was done for 1882. Huge contribution to the development of the domestic and world aircraft have Zhukovskii (set out the principles of aerodynamics) and Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (based forms the wing depending on the speed of the flight)

Before World War I, the Russian Defense Ministry announced a competition for design aircraft with speed 114km / h or more, the capacity of 450 kg. On the submitted drawings, the construction of several aircraft, including machine Porohovschikova. Chaplygin, Keldysh, DP Grigorovich, NN Polikarpov, GP Svishchev Boris Yuriev and this is not a complete list of scientists and engineers, which is proud of Russian history aviation. After the revolution, with the support of a government that understands the importance of aircraft, and the industry gets cash infusion, and human resources. In the design office there has been gradually switching to production aircraft of metal folding system designed chassis. In the department of land under the guidance of aircraft began to produce Polikarpov fighters, reconnaissance, attack (one of the most famous aircraft is distinguished in the Great Patriotic War, U2), and the Division of Marine aircraft, led by Grigorovich, built mostly sea planes (scouts) .

  
Currently, Russian aviation - is not only aviation technology, and a commercial complex. It includes the design bureaus and research institutes, aircraft factories and bases. Airalania.ru believes that talking about aviation in Russia, do not forget about the airlines providing services on flights that currently there are over 80.  

Globally, according to the design features, the entire aviation technology can be divided into two large groups: airplanes and helicopters (usually with a certain degree of conditionality, the criterion for division is way off and the location of the screws).

By the beginning of the 21st century fleet of civilian aircraft in Russia not only obsolete, but it is technically dangerous to use. Most of the aircraft for regional air (Tu-134, Tu-154 and Yak-42) did not meet ICAO standards for no noise, no pollution to the environment or in the comfort for passengers. By 2001, Russia from the mid-range airliners serially produced only Tu-154 - there was a shortage of medium-range aircraft it is, and many airlines have started to make the purchase of imported cars (for the most part - is not new.) Realities of the market, leaving no other choice or whole-giant carriers or regional airlines, and specialized resources (eg, airalania.ru etc.) ad of leasing of used foreign-made planes are common. Thus, it was about "aviation security" (Putin, 2004) For the existing Russian civil aviation enterprises to create a principally new regional jet was daunting task - Tupolev, Yakovlev and Ilyushin are struggling to cope with the modernization of old planes and no more. For the development of a passenger liner for domestic and foreign air routes near-and medium-range come from the world famous company "Dry" - the truth, know this was related to military aircraft. However, the technological level of the equipment, highly qualified staff and the support of the state can count on success - that is confirmed, ten years from the start of the project. Creating a new aircraft - a complex process, and the first two years of the corporation "dry" spent mainly on structural design, signing partnership programs with leading international firms, training facilities factory in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, and clear delineation of responsibilities between the State and created specifically for project of JSC "Sukhoi Civil Aircraft". In 2004, the plane was named Sukhoi Superjet 100 - before that it was called the RRJ (Russian Regional Jet). Costs of creating "Superjet" totaled about $ 2 billion - but the result was obtained impressive!
