Manturov familiarized himself with models of a promising long-range aircraft and the Strizh supersonic aircraft

First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov visited the Research Center "N.E. Zhukovsky Institute", where he was presented with models of a promising long-range aircraft and a supersonic airliner of the future, as well as key results of projects to create a new generation of Russian aviation.

During the visit, advanced technology demonstrators, aerodynamic models and prototypes of systems for advanced aircraft were presented. Among them are aerodynamic models of a long-range passenger aircraft, a supersonic civil airliner, as well as a demonstration complex of technologies for the Strizh supersonic aircraft.

Particular attention was drawn to flight demonstrators of urban rotorcraft and light aircraft with electric power plants, corresponding to global trends in "green" aviation.

Manturov was also shown full-scale samples of composite structures: an integral wing and fuselage structure of a future long-range airliner, as well as a fuselage section of the Strizh demonstrator with an integrated optical system for monitoring the condition of the structure.

A separate block was devoted to intelligent technologies. Solutions based on artificial intelligence were shown: a system for recognizing markings and obstacles on the runway with recommendations to the crew, modules for monitoring the psychophysiological state of pilots, and a cockpit concept without a windshield with a digital information and control field. A prototype of an intelligent decision support system was also demonstrated, both on the ground and in the air - taking into account the surrounding air traffic.

It is noted that the Strizh supersonic aircraft is preparing for its first flight in 2029 after fine-tuning the power plants and adopting standards for sonic boom.
