A légierő ipari hátterének fellegvára volt a PG/DR Rt. Ha érdekel ról egy és más, akkor olvashatsz róla egy 19 részes sorozatot az Aranysas 2011/12 számaiban, vagy a jets.hu honlapon (http://jets.hu/news?cat=17)
Most láttam egy kis videot a legnagyobb repülős élményem topikban a Dunai Repülőgépgyárban elvégzett Szu-22-es karbantartásról. Nem néztem végig a 30 perces videot. Viszont érdekelne, hogy az miféle munka volt? Mi lett a repülőgépgyár volt alkalmazottaival?
Tu-22M-re kikepzo valtozat. Tobb tucat is epult, ha jol emlekszem. A Tu-22M es a 134 hasonloan viselkedett le- es felszallasnal, raadasul a Kistusko joval kevesebbet fogyasztott, ezert sokat repultek ezen.
ezek szerint egy újabb műszakilag érdekes, de kereskedelmileg kudarcos prototípusról van szó? :-)
A múlktor egyébként érdekes Tu-134-est láttam az oroszoknál. Azt mondták valami repülő laboratórium, ezért is volt egy "L" betű a típusjelében. Jó hosszú kúp alakú orra volt, nem a szokásos üveges Tu-134-es orr. Mondjuk ránézésre öregebb gép volt, mint én. Talán a festése is ecsettel készült... :-)
Vajon minek tesztelik a Tu-204-est? Lassan már a forgalomból kell majd kivonni...
Tupolev has performed a series of wet-runway tests with its Tu-204SM twinjet as the type nears certification.
It conducted the tests with aircraft 64151 at Moscow Zhukovsky's Gromov research centre, monitoring the jet with video cameras.
Tupolev says the Tu-204SM carried out eight runs, on a runway coated with a layer of water, at speeds from 27kt (50km/h) to near-rotation, with positive results.
It states that the tests aimed to demonstrate that the aircraft could operate safely in harsh rain conditions, "close to tropical", by analysing the path of water spray thrown up by the landing gear.
The aircraft, whose test regime has covered some 285 flights by the end of October, is also to undergo wet landing tests.
Tupolev says the Tu-204SM, which recently completed radiation field testing, has also been subjected to more than 44h of high-temperature operations and ground-based failure mode analysis.
Észbe kaptak az oroszok, hogy kevés a pilóta. Pedig ezt a témát már évek óta feszegetik. De hát úgy látszik, lassan őrölnek arrafelé a bürokrácia és a gazdaság malmai.
Russian authorities are advancing proposals from domestic airlines to permit hiring of foreign pilots to cope with a shortage of cockpit crews.
The transport ministry has prepared an appropriate draft legislation and hopes to have it adopted before 2013, said deputy minister Valery Okulov.
The country's Air Code stipulates that crews employed by commercial carriers may include only Russian nationals except for those hired temporarily to train domestic pilots and do not perform the duties of captain.
But the transport ministry has acceded to requests to scrap this clause in order to tackle a mounting pilot shortage problem and its implications for the airline industry.
Minister Maksim Sokolov says there is an immediate need for at least 1,000 pilots and this unsatisfied demand leads to exorbitant pilots' salaries and increases in fares.
Costs to crew the fleet grew by 20% in the first half of this year, says Aeroflot general manager Vitaly Saveliev. The carrier, which is coping with a shortage of 150-200 crew members, last year opened an in-house training programme to cover the deficit.
According to federal aviation regulator Rosaviatsia, 330 pilots graduated from six state-run flight schools in 2011. Human resources department chief Vladimir Ashikhmin expects their output to grow to 480 this year and 600 in 2013.
He says that recruiting foreign pilots will represent a temporary fix until sufficient commercial pilots are trained domestically to meet demand. The regulator intends to publish proposed amendments to the Air Code and immigration law on its Internet site within days and submit them for approval to parliament by December.
Interjet takes delivery of SSJ100 Interjet has taken delivery of a Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ100) making it the first western customer to receive the aircraft. The SSJ100, MSN 95023, took off from Sukhoi Civil Aircraft’s (SCAC) assembly plant in Komsomolsk on-Amur in Russia. It flew through Moscow’s Novosibirsk and Zhukovsky airports and landed in Venice on October 6, at 12.35 local time. “We are very proud to welcome the first Interjet SSJ100 in Venice,” said Nazario Cauceglia, CEO of SuperJet International. “Today is a special day for SuperJet International marking the beginning of a new industrial activity in Venice.”
Szemre nem egy nagy áttörés... Legalább ezt az ormótlan és antik üvegezett orrot leszedhették volna róla valami áramvonalazottabb kialakításért, ha tényleg akkora a belső elektronikai átalakítás. A katonai változaton a farokgépágyú is megmarad? :)
Egy kis előrelépés a Superjet - Armavia kötélhúzásban.
Armenian flag-carrier Armavia is to resume operations with the Sukhoi Superjet 100, weeks after a financial dispute left the type parked.
Armavia, the first operator of the twinjet, postponed plans to take delivery of a second Superjet in a row which resulted in both being stored at Moscow Zhukovsky.
But Superjet International, the marketing venture for the type, says the aircraft is "ready to resume its commercial operations" with the Yerevan-based airline.
It adds that Superjet number 95007 - originally delivered to the carrier in April 2011 - was handed back to Armavia on 2 October "after the solution of the airline's financial issues" and will return to service, operating the Yerevan-Milan route, on 4 October.
Armavia had previously claimed that the Superjet's reliability had not met its expectations. But Sukhoihad insisted that the parking of the aircraft had been the result of financial wrangling, and that Armavia was trying to restructure its acquisition as a lease.
Superjet International confirms that the two sides have "agreed the terms" for the first aircraft and that they have signed a preliminary six-month lease agreement.
Under the deal Armavia will operate the aircraft while Sukhoi's civil aircraft division retains ownership. Once the six-month deal expires the parties will meet again to discuss further steps.
But the two sides are "continuing to discuss" the situation with the second aircraft, serial number 95021, delivery of which was postponed earlier this year.
Russian Helicopters, the holding company behind the Mil and Kamov rotorcraft brands, is moving to integrate its global aftersales service network, to expand the range of repair and upgrade services it offers and tackle the problem of counterfeit parts.
The company, which consolidated the Russian helicopter industry between 2007 and 2010, readily admits that aftersales service has perhaps been the most challenging legacy of the Soviet era.
This was when vast quantities of spare parts were produced and distributed to what became, following the collapse of the USSR, a disconnected number of independent workshops trading in unverifiable spare parts, particularly in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Africa.
Russian Helicopters has been inviting workshops to join an official, verified network so it can monitor their work and provide a warranty, and has now detailed a certification regime for all partners in the CIS and Europe that it expects to bring into force by the end of the year.
All aftersales support will be offered through Helicopter Service Company, a Russian Helicopters subsidiary.
Helicopter operators or authorised service companies will be able to order spare parts over the internet, says Russian Helicopters, which promises that "the introduction of electronic documentation for various helicopter models will also make life easier for operators of Russian-built helicopters".
The CIS and Europe system supplements a recently signed agreement with Denel Aviation of South Africa to create a Russian Helicopters-supported servicing hub for sub-Saharan Africa. Denel will begin with routine servicing, but eventually be equipped to undertake complete helicopter and component overhauls.
Russian Helicopters' aftersales service challenge is formidable. Of the Mil-8/17 model range alone some 4,500 aircraft are in service in 80 countries, and have racked up five million flight hours. With 2011 deliveries of 262 aircraft, the company is second in size only to Eurocopter, and new models being introduced beyond the home market include the Ka-62, Mi-171A2, Mi-38 and Ansat light utility helicopter.
