Aircraft is rapidly diminishing the
0:19
United aircraft Corporation UAC has been
0:21
assigned an unprecedented challenge
0:24
developing and beginning the production
0:26
of new aircraft in each category of
0:27
Transport planes light medium heavy and
0:31
super heavy the ministry of defense is
0:33
primarily updating the aircraft Fleet as
0:36
part of a comprehensive rearmament Drive
0:39
the initial phase involved the upgrade
0:40
of the uan 76 md9 the uan 76 has a
0:45
history that extends nearly three
0:47
decades the aircraft entered service
0:49
within 3 years of its inaugural flight
0:53
production of the heavy Transport
0:54
Aircraft class reached approximately
0:57
1,000 units with a payload capacity of
1:00
up to 50 tons Engineers substantially
1:03
enhanced the aircraft's characteristics
1:05
during its initial years of development
1:07
making it indispensable in combat
1:10
operations the initial demonstration of
1:12
its flight capabilities occurred during
1:14
the Afghan war the illusion 76 was
1:17
responsible for the delivery of nearly
1:19
all Personnel 74% of ammunition and
1:22
equipment to combat zones the aircraft
1:26
14,700 flights during the Afghan
1:29
conflict which equates to an average of
1:31
four missions per day spread over a
1:34
decade Soviet Personnel continued to
1:37
provide weapons to Allied Forces even
1:39
after the withdrawal of major forces in
1:42
1989 the Taliban made an effort to
1:44
disrupt the flights of Soviet aircraft
1:47
the taliban's capture of an ilushin 76
1:50
which transpired 6 years after the
1:52
official conclusion of hostilities
1:54
served as the inspiration for Andre

1:59
perhaps the most well-known seven crew

before they could Escape interestingly
2:07
one of the Ural transport companies

kuimov a test pilot who has flown nearly
2:21
all of the basic uan 76 variants asserts
2:24
that the core control system remains
2:26
untouched aviators familiar with the uan
2:29
7 6 will easily adapt to the new model
2:32
this modification replaces all
2:34
electromechanical instruments including
2:37
artificial Horizons speed and altitude
2:39
indicators with a complete glass cockpit
2:42
the displays of the aircraft have become
2:44
more compact consolidating all
2:46
previously dispersed systems across
2:48
multiple panels into a single
2:50
information field accessible to All crew
2:53
members the new aircraft is capable of
2:56
Landing in nearly any weather condition
2:58
due to its improved safety safety
3:00
measures thanks to a new autopilot the
3:02
aircraft meets IO Category 2 standards
3:05
reducing the decision height for landing
3:07
to 30 m this implies that the transport
3:11
aircraft which weighs 200 tons has the
3:14
capability to abort a landing at such a
3:16
low altitude if necessary furthermore
3:19
the aircraft either completely replaced
3:21
the engines landing gear and wings or
3:23
underwent substantial redesigns if the
3:26
airframe and aerodynamics function well
3:28
during operation and the engines and
3:30
avionics undergo periodic upgrades the
3:33
aircraft can have a long service life
3:36
the avastar SP plant in ulanov which was
3:39
specifically designed for the production
3:41
of large transport planes commenced the
3:43
production of the new aircraft the
3:46
Russian Ministry of Defense has executed
3:48
the most significant contract in the
3:50
past two decades procuring 39 new uan 76
3:54
md9 aircraft at a cost of approximately
4:00
the new eluan 76 was initially designed
4:03
using contemporary digital Technologies
4:05
to satisfy this order as a result Avast
4:08
RSP had to replace onethird of its
4:10
equipment to construct aircraft using
4:13
electronic blueprints the installation
4:15
of new 5axis Machining centers resulted
4:18
in a substantial reduction in the
4:20
production time of parts and a quality
4:22
improvement the plant's modernization
4:24
will require an additional 2 years and a
4:27
total of US1 100 million an
4:30
unprecedented sum designers decided to
4:32
create a seamless wing panel without
4:35
unnecessary joints making it stronger
4:38
this solution would have been
4:39
unattainable in the absence of
4:41
sophisticated Machining centers
4:43
specialized assembly machines were used
4:45
to build the initial three aircraft the
4:48
plant is ready to manufacture up to 21
4:51
aircraft annually a highly ambitious
4:54
objective for Avia star SP even though
4:56
it has experienced layoffs and a 20-year
4:59
Gap in attracting new Talent the Russian
5:01
military requires a minimum of 130 heavy
5:05
and superheavy transport aircraft and
5:07
private companies require even more the
5:10
commercial cargo Aviation Market
5:11
turnover is anticipated to increase to
5:14
$3 billion and reach $7 billion by 2030
5:18
according to Industry experts now do you
5:21
