The scandal with the "Alligator"

At the jubilee 50th International Aviation and Space Show "Le Bourget" there was a huge scandal involving Russia.




Organizers of the event were not allowed the new Russian helicopter Ka-52, which already included the engines, climb into the sky for a demonstration flight. Instead, he flew French planes. I must say that then the problem is solved and "Alligator" rose into the sky, but it does not look like a technical hitch or organizational question, but as the fear to show the technical superiority of our cars in front of the Prime Minister of France, who was present at the exhibition.

And here is the culprit of the scandal - the Russian Ka-52 "Alligator»



"Le Bourget" - a cult event for aviation fans from around the world.



Fighter generation "4 ++" Su-35s. Aircraft of this class satisfy most of the requirements for the fifth generation fighter.



SU-35s, who are interested to China. By the end of next year it is planned to conclude an agreement on the supply of aircraft in the country.



Since 1957 Russia is a permanent member of the "Le Bourget". But perhaps the first time in many years, all the attention of Paris Air Show focused on our technology. It is no coincidence SU-35s made the main exhibits. And this despite the fact that in the review involved more than 3,000 companies from 44 countries.

The Russian-Ukrainian development of the An-70 - mid-range trucks (operational-tactical military transport) aircraft of the new generation.



Among all varieties of campaigns in the exhibition was attended by 46 Russian manufacturers, including: OAO "Rosoboronexport", OAO "PO" UOMZ ", JSC" OPK Oboronprom "JSC" Company "Sukhoi", JSC "IL", JSC "Helicopters Russia "and others.

Airbus A400M. Despite the fact that the agreement on the establishment of a military transport aircraft was signed back in 1982, his first flight took place recently - December 11, 2009





Airbus A380 earning it the title of the serial avilaynera largest in the world. Its first flight took place on April 27, 2005 goda.Kompaniya British Airways decided to acquire 12 such turbojet passenger aircraft.



A separate exhibition plays a role in the corporation "Rostec." On the one hand, it includes holding "Helicopters of Russia", which in recent years has increased the sales of our "turntables" several times. On the other hand - a large number of companies (concern "Aviation Equipment" Concern "Radio-electronic technology," Schwabe) which produce systems for our aviation. The best thing about the quality of our helicopters, says a fresh contract for $ 500 million between "Rosoboronexport" and the US Department of Defense for the supply of 30 Mi-17 helicopters for Afghanistan.



Also, all participants were able to see the "son" of world famous Ka-50 "Black Shark" - Russian combat helicopter Ka-52 "Alligator" (which was related scandal above). By the way, it is on-board equipment of the "radio-electronic technology," which makes the machine virtually impregnable.

At the height of the Ka-52 "Alligator". It has a top speed of 350 km per hour, the maximum altitude - 5, 5 thousand meters of climb - 10 m / s range - more than 1000 km.

"Le Bourget" is not only a meeting place for aviation enthusiasts but also a platform for negotiations and the creation of new projects. One of them - a joint venture for the production of light multipurpose aircraft that, on the initiative of "Rostec" Sergei Chemezov, will be created by the Austrian company «Diamond Aircraft Industries» and «Ural works of civil aviation».



Also, the corporation "Oboronprom" and the South African company Denel Aviation signed a contract to expand the capacity of the service center in South Africa to service Mi-8/17. According to the company's plans, the center will be able to carry out not only a comprehensive maintenance, but also a complex repair and modernization of Mi-8/17 civil and military purposes.



Russia's participation in such events in addition to the conclusion of contracts is a good opportunity to demonstrate their achievements in science and technology, and to break down stereotypes about our country fell one of the strongest global power poles. Show newest samples of our production of "Le Bourget" - evidence of the return of Russia to the world aviation market.
