Hey, don't be
1:08
We've had changes. Well, here's the
1:10
remote. That's
1:13
why major changes to this button or
1:16
light bulb switches. This is what we see
1:19
as an indication.
1:23
She also demanded changes to the
1:26
software. It has also been replaced
1:28
externally. It seems to have remained
1:31
the same. But the logic of interaction
1:37
with products that were replaced, it
1:40
changed in accordance with the fact that
1:42
the components of the radio station also
1:44
changed. We have substituted imports
1:48
here. From the point of view of flying
1:51
itself, nothing has changed. And after
1:54
import substitution of everything, in
1:56
principle, nothing should change
2:00
because working with import
2:03
substitutes. The main purpose of
2:06
components is to maintain continuity and
2:08
what we have already passed and
2:10
certified. I would like, of course, to
2:12
let them fly as quietly as they wanted,
2:16
as much as they could. Well, everything
2:18
went according to
2:22
plan. Well, as usual, at the extreme
2:25
stage when approaching for landing, the
2:27
air situation demanded that we pass for
2:30
landing. First of all, aircraft entering
2:32
a civil airport. That's why
2:38
we we moved away so as not to worry
2:42
anyone. And after that, we were already
2:44
boarding. This is the reason for the
2:46
delay in landing with an increase in
2:48
time. They were asked to stand to skip
2:50
for God's sake when everything is
2:52
working
2:54
then and why not do it. We are confident
2:57
that it is possible to continue flight
3:00
tests after observing the formalities
3:03
that must be completed after one flight.
3:10
The characteristics of the aircraft have
3:12
not changed since the aircraft in
3:14
general nothing was done in it.
3:16
Characteristics of import substituted
3:21
equipment. They also confirm what we
3:24
have seen before. They are not entirely
3:27
no worse. In some things it is even
3:29
better than import substituted. We are
3:32
satisfied with the operation of the
3:34
complex. satisfied with the operation of
3:37
the systems. So we can't wait until the
3:39
next work of the energy system is
3:41
allowed. It basically underwent the
3:44
greatest change in the course of import
3:46
substitution. So the main attention was
3:48
paid to
3:50
ours. It is the energy system because
3:53
all other system work from it. She made
3:56
an
3:58
appearance. Its efficiency is quite
4:00
high. one flight of the aircraft. In
4:02
principle, standard sets of modes for
4:05
drain controllability were tested in
4:07
different
4:10
configurations. That is, it flaps behind
4:13
released into different positions with
4:14
wheels without wheels. Well, after that,
4:17
I'll also check how the system works
4:19
when approaching the aircraft's
4:21
limitations, which are maximum speed,
4:23
minimum speed. But after that, passages
4:26
were performed. Naturally, that is there
4:28
is a certain method here. It goes from
4:30
simple to complex. That is first it is
4:32
simply performed the passage how the
4:34
plane behaves near the ground at 100 mm.
4:36
We performed it went further. We
4:38
graduated to an intermediate position
4:40
with wheels. Looked how the plane also
4:42
behaves near the ground as it does when
4:45
leaving for two laps and so on
4:47
exaggerating turnovers. What was his
4:49
reaction? Everything was carried out at
4:51
a safe altitude. And after that due to
4:53
weather conditions they made two
4:55
approaches with a different start. And
4:56
on the second approach they made the
4:58
landing. What is our task? As part of
5:01
the aircraft crew, this is an in-depth
5:04
control over the operation of the
5:05
equipment system. That is we sit in
5:08
specially equipped places where
5:10
additional parameters are
5:13
displayed from which you can judge the
5:15
operation of the equipment system in
5:17
more
5:19
depth. Also experiment introduction and
5:22
methodological assistance to pilots.
5:26
There's nothing to add beyond what the
5:28
pilot said. The flight was perfect. The
5:32
equipment system worked
5:34
normally. The overall impression of the
5:37
flight is very good. All the modes that
5:39
were performed were performed
5:40
successfully. The system showed good
5:42
performance. No such nuances, failures
5:44
or unpleasant features were identified.
5:49
Are we happy with this flight? Today,
5:52
the avionics of the power supply and air
5:54
conditioning systems were tested on the
5:56
prototype MC21, marking its first flight
6:00
with domestic units on board. The
6:02
flight, as specified by Rosstec,
6:05
initiates a series of Zavat tests for
6:08
the average mainline aircraft featuring
6:10
newly imported replaced equipment. This
6:12
report by Pavl Marukov.
6:20
This is you and US with 215 was
6:22
assembled at the Kutsk aircraft factory
6:25
a few years ago but this flight was his
6:26
first. All this time the aircraft was
6:29
waiting for systems and units of
6:30
domestic
6:34
production. This aircraft has already
6:36
been certified with foreign systems but
6:38
after the sanctions were imposed all the
6:40
resources of the country's leading
6:42
airlines were thrown on import
6:43
substitution. First the engine was
6:45
developed at the same time as the wing.
6:47
It is longer, so 30% of it was made of
6:50
composite materials and passengers
6:52
created comfortable conditions for long
6:54
flights. For the convenience of
6:56
passengers in the cabin, MC21 developed
6:58
luggage racks. They are semic-ircular in
7:00
shape and a large volume
7:02
inside. Place six suitcases, but the
7:05
main feature of the mainline plane of
7:06
the 21st century is the aisle. It is
7:08
made so wide that they can freely
7:10
disperse here. Two passengers. Now the
7:12
test is passing. Two import substituted
7:14
and M with 21. Domestic components are
7:17
included in the chassis hydraulic supply
7:19
and power supply
7:21
system. We from 21 was in the air 015.
7:24
The maximum speed reached today is 580
7:26
km altitude 3.
7:30
1,000 metavionics had to be checked.
7:32
Electrical and air conditioning
7:35
systems. The replaced systems function
7:37
with remarkable
7:39
reliability. There are no complaints and
7:41
it will undoubtedly proceed. Of course,
7:43
compared to imported ones, definitely no
7:45
worse and maybe even better. Ahead of
7:47
the aircraft are waiting for testing
7:48
about 200 flights. And after
7:50
certification, the mainline aircraft of
7:52
the 21st century will begin to supply
7:54
airlines only from one of the carriers.
7:56
Their Kutk aircraft plant received an
7:58
order for 210 aircraft in the history of
8:00
civil aircraft manufacturing in our
8:01
country. There have never been such
8:03
volumes
8:04
before. Pav Morskov Edaruz Victorki lead
8:08
the region. The first flight of the
8:11
liner MC21, equipped with Russian
8:13
systems instead of imported ones, worked
8:15
quickly and qualitatively according to
8:17
its creators. Flight tests are now
8:20
necessary to confirm this as Oleg
8:22
Shishkin closely observed the
8:25
beginning. Illuminated by the morning
8:27
sun, the Snow White airliner is taxied
8:29
to the runway of the airfield of the
8:31
Kutsk Aviation Plant, United Aircraft
8:33
Corporation, as part of the state
8:34
corporation Rosstec. Aircraft
8:36
manufacturers are almost Gagarinsky
8:38
escorting their offspring into the sky.
8:40
There was a smooth takeoff and the MC21
8:43
ascended into the
8:45
clouds. Darling, come on. Come on. Come
8:48
on. Altitude 3,000 Bambia automator.
8:50
Speed almost 600 kilometers per hour.
8:52
Flight is normal. Test pilots especially
8:54
load the mechanics of the aircraft. The
8:56
rudder and rudder flaps test the engines
8:58
in different modes. Here the plane
9:00
simulates a landing approach, goes to a
9:01
super small, and then goes for two laps
9:03
by means of altitude gain. One test
9:05
flight lasted an hour and 15 minutes.
9:07
The flight mission was completed
9:09
completely. The systems work without
9:11
comments.
9:13
According to a test flight, what can we
9:15
continue to fly according to the
9:17
program? Here is the crew pleasure
9:20
and satisfaction with 21 stands for
9:22
mainline aircraft of the 21st century.
9:24
Capable of delivering more than 200
9:26
passengers at a distance of over 5,000
9:28
kilom are representative of the most
9:30
mass segment of the world airliner
9:32
market. The main rivalry here is between
9:33
the Boeing 737 and
9:37
RBAS320. But our liner, according to
9:39
experts, is more technological, cheaper,
9:41
and more convenient. Initially, the
9:43
aircraft was planned to be produced
9:44
jointly with the Americans, but after
9:46
the introduction of illegal anti-Russian
9:47
sanctions in 2022, foreign partners
9:49
withdrew from the project. Work on the
9:51
aircraft did not stop. Imported parts in
9:53
the main components were replaced by
9:54
domestic ones.
9:57
We have replaced this very important
9:59
power supply system. A very complex
10:00
system on which the operation of all
10:02
systems of the aircraft depends. We have
10:05
her intellectual. It itself can be
10:08
reconfigured in the event of any
10:10
failures. It allows you to do 100% self
10:13
diagnosis.
10:15
The aircraft received a new set of
10:16
onboard radio electronic equipment and
10:18
auxiliary and power plant. Specialists
10:20
went over all the key nodes of the
10:22
aircraft. In total, our designers have
10:24
replaced about 80 imported systems and
10:26
units from the analogs. MC21 differs
10:29
more. Perfect aerodynamics, new
10:31
generation onboard systems, and
10:32
increased fuselage diameter. First and
10:34
foremost, comfort for passengers, a wide
10:37
central steamer in the cabin, and large
10:38
luggage racks on which suitcases can be
10:40
placed vertically. It seems to be a
10:42
small thing, and boarding and
10:44
disembarking passengers will be
10:45
noticeably faster. Our crisis speed with
10:48
21 is almost 900 km/h, which is also
10:51
higher than our competitors. But the
10:53
main highlight of the aircraft are the
10:54
wings made of composite materials of
10:56
Russian production. This aircraft, for
10:58
the first time in its class, is equipped
11:00
with a composite wing. In addition to
11:03
this, the tail wing, the all composite
11:06
central plane, all composite and all the
11:09
fairings, sun shades and window panes
11:11
are also composite. Such wings in
11:14
combination with the domestic BD14
11:16
engine provide increased lift and
11:18
therefore fuel economy. In the world
11:20
only five states capable of producing
11:22
engines for civil ainers with SH and
11:25
Great Britain, France, China and
11:27
Russia. And work continues on one more
11:30
prototype MC21 which will already be
11:33
100% domestic. Now the aircraft is at
11:35
the stage of final assembly. Its first
11:37
test flight is planned by solid. Serial
11:40
production of the liner is planned to
11:41
begin in the future. Uncle Alex Shishkin
11:44
one tunnel
11:46
Rostk has ambitious plans to make a
11:48
flight to Zukovski shortly, aiming to
11:50
execute the certification test program.
11:52
Moreover, the final assembly shop is
11:54
diligently working on an entirely
11:56
Russian mediumhole aircraft, the MC21.
