Flight program

There is no doubt that the next MAKS will be a holiday that will give our compatriots a sense of pride in their own country, for those people who create sophisticated aircraft, and those who demonstrate their flying skills on them.

The flight program for MAKS 2015 includes demonstration flights of several aerobatic teams:

Aerobatic several "Russian Knights" of the Russian Air Force.

"Russian Knights" are an aviation group that performs aerobatics on highly maneuverable aircraft. multirole fighters Russian Air Force Su-27UB and Su-27P. The group members demonstrate the highest degree of flying skill in both single and group aerobatics. They are the only aerobatic team on the planet that performs formation aerobatics on production heavy fighters.

Aerobatic display of several Swifts of the Russian Air Force.

The pilots who are part of this team perform solo and group aerobatics on MiG-29 multi-role fighters. Several demonstrate programs with a huge number of aerobatics and solo performances. The set of demonstration programs includes such elements as “wing”, “cross”, “arrow”, “star”, “hammer”, “pyramid”.

Aerobatic flight of several "Golden Eagles" of the Russian Air Force.

This aerobatic team conducts several demonstration flights on six Mi-28N combat helicopters. is one of several teams in the world that shows figures of medium and high complexity in the sky in the horizontal and vertical planes at low altitude.

Aerobatic several "Rus".

Students of DOSAAF Russia are permanent participants of MAKS. The pilots of "Rus" demonstrate the school of domestic flying skills and the ability to conduct flights at a very close distance from each other.

"First flight".

The First Flight flying club created its own aerobatic team in 2009. Now she is the only one in Russian Federation personal aerobatic team performing flights on piston Yak-52 and Yak-54. Among the group members there are many sports pilots who have won prizes in domestic and world championships in aerobatics and flying skills.

"Baltic Bees".

Specified aerobatic team from Latvia. The pilots who are part of the Baltic Bees demonstrate their skills in group piloting at an extremely minimum distance from each other and performing aerobatic maneuvers. The participation of 6 aircraft from the Latvian group at MAKS 2015 has been announced.

"Wings of Taurida" of the Russian Air Force.

The main goal of MAKS is to demonstrate Russian high technology and openness of the Russian domestic market for joint projects with foreign partners.

General information:
Currently, the International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS deservedly occupies one of the leading places among the world's largest aviation forums.

MAKS is held under the patronage of the President of the Russian Federation. This is a guarantee high level organization and representativeness. At MAKS, top officials of the state are available for business communication. For everyone involved in the aviation and space industries, MAKS provides a rare opportunity to get acquainted with the opinions of decision makers on key issues in the development, production and sale of aviation equipment and weapons.

MAKS gives a comprehensive picture of the priorities and achievements of enterprises in the Russian aerospace complex. Only at MAKS you can see prototypes of aircraft and combat systems, experimental installations, which for a number of reasons cannot be demonstrated abroad.

MAKS provides specialists and businessmen with a unique opportunity to establish multi-level contacts, further develop industrial cooperation and search for new business partners. The role of the air show as a generator of new alliances and fruitful ideas is recognized throughout the world.

MAKS is held in the city of aviation science and technology - Zhukovsky, at the airfield of the country's central test base - the Flight Research Institute named after. M.M.Gromova. Guests of the salon can get acquainted with the largest scientific, production and experimental centers in Russia located in close proximity to the exhibition.

A significant place in the MAKS program is occupied by scientific conferences and symposiums held under the auspices of the state scientific center of Russia - TsAGI. They allow scientists and specialists to exchange views on the most pressing problems in the development of aviation and astronautics in the present and future.

On August 25 and 26, 2015, I was lucky enough to attend the MAKS-2015 air show. This is a daily 8-9 hour run in the heat and a lot of emotions. It was positive, interesting and just great! I won’t go into everyday details (transport, food, what to take with you) and the specifics of organizing the air show (what you can take with you, how and where to go through control). Those interested can familiarize themselves with a comprehensive discussion of the issue at the link: MAKS Air Show. Instructions for use.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep gratitude to two people who encouraged me to participate in this event:
- Sergei Babain - creator of the website Aerospace Testers,
- to my wife, Natalya.

August 25, 2015, opening of MAKS-2015

To understand the context, I will only mention that the salon takes place every two years in the town of Zhukovsky near Moscow, at the Ramenskoye airfield. The first three days of the air show are business days. Tickets for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will cost 2,500 rubles, instead of 850 rubles per ticket on general admission days (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). On business days, the air show is usually visited by 20-30 thousand people; on general days, the number of visitors means more. For example, on August 29, 2015, more than 150 thousand people attended the air show. The official opening hours of the event are from 10 to 18:00. However, even on business days with a press pass in hand, it is better to already be sitting on the train rumbling towards the "Rest" platform at 8 am (on business days there is no bus transport of visitors from the "42nd kilometer" platform to the airfield "Ramenskoe"). It's better to arrive early than to sleep an extra hour and then stand in lines.

Unfortunately, on business days the demonstration flight program is significantly shortened so that the noise of the engines does not interfere with events and negotiations. The display of heavy jet equipment begins after 15:00 and continues until approximately 17:00. For comparison: on weekends, when MAKS 2015 is open to everyone, flights start at 11 am and end closer to 17:00. In general, the most intense flight program is demonstrated on Saturday and Sunday, but on these days it will be difficult to get to the airfield and get through to the fence fencing the runway.

Sukhoi Superjet 100

MiG-29M2 and MiG-3

To understand what kind of fences we are talking about, we will have to explain the disposition a little. "Ramenskoye" - test airfield. The institute is named in honor of its first director, Hero of the Soviet Union Mikhail Mikhailovich Gromov (medal No. 8 was awarded to him in 1934 for the record of flying an ANT-25 along a closed route - 12,411 km in 75 hours). In the pre-war decade, the aviation industry developed rapidly in the USSR. Aircraft manufacturing required the creation of a testing base in the Moscow region, located close to the main research institutes and aviation design bureaus. This is the story of the emergence of the Ramenskoye test airfield, and with it TsAGI and the settlement that we now call the city of Zhukovsky. Now the airfield is still used as an experimental one. In addition to experimental vehicles, the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry aviation is based on it.

MiG-29M2 - further development of the MiG-29M (“9-15”)

Two-seat version of the MiG-29M

The main runway of the airfield (Runway 4) is 5403 meters long and is the longest in Europe. At an angle to Runway 4 there is a second runway, which is significantly shorter than the main one. A diagram of the static exposition at MAKS 2015 can give some idea of the layout of the area. During MAKS, airplanes and helicopters are stationed on the shorter runway. Between these two runways is a field covered with trimmed grass. Here, lighter-than-air aeronauts, representatives of small aviation, glider pilots, etc. demonstrate their achievements. There are open areas in the same area military equipment, congress center, exhibition pavilions, press center, chalets and catering outlets.

Director of SibNIIA Vladimir Barsuk

The field between the exhibition pavilions and Runway 4 is the most accessible platform for observing flights. To prevent individual gifted individuals in a state of exaltation from crawling onto the airfield slabs, the clearing and the take-off are separated by a large-mesh wire fence installed parallel to the working runway. An additional security measure is a fairly tight cordon. In general, there is no need to try to climb over the fence.

It is quite comfortable to photograph aircraft through the large mesh fence. True, it is difficult to take photographs of aircraft on the runway from the lowest point - the hot air trembles over the grass. Again, photographing a plane taking off against the sky is one thing (there will be a lot of such pictures on the Internet after the show), but being able to shoot it against the background of the earth’s surface and recompose the frame is quite another. Therefore, advanced photographers either look for an opportunity to gain access to a thoroughly elevated media platform, or drag along a regular folding stepladder.

I crumpled up the filming of the flight program on the opening day of the air show in the most obscene way. I was just calmly walking through the pavilions, casually cooling down under the air conditioners of the press center, and suddenly... A hasty trot towards the runway, where from somewhere out of the heat came the roar of helicopter engines. There is a fussy change of lenses right on the run (300 mm telephoto lens and x1.4 converter instead of a fifty-kopeck lens). Accordingly, neither the shooting point has been selected, nor are there any test frames. But there are dark lines of airplanes in the cloudless sky and the sun at its zenith, ignoring all the hoods of the world. At the same time, I definitely won’t be able to re-shoot the performance of the aerobatic teams - there are only two days of vacation ahead, so either filming now, on President’s Day, or the “ergonomic” option of viewing other people’s pictures on the Internet. In general, I had to improvise with metering, exposure compensation and shutter speed. In all the chaos, I forgot that the camera had a 128 GB Sandisk Ultra card. Its capacity is more than sufficient, but it does not stand out for its speed. There was no time to look for the Sandisk Extreme card in my backpack, saved for the air show. I had to shoot most of the program in JPEG, because on a series of RAW files the camera sometimes became thoughtful.

However, even after two days of shortened performances, I filmed great amount(4590) frames. I assume that after strict filtering, about a tenth of the footage will remain in the archive. The primary selection has already reduced the photo archive to 1280 files (including sources in NEF). Continuous shooting involves subsequent removal of redundant frames. I haven’t even started sorting the statics - this photographic material will apparently wait for free time during the November holidays. This rejection rate is not due to crooked hands or inability to use television optics. The sun was very disturbing in the cloudless sky, and the haze trembling over the runway finished off potentially interesting photographs during the planes' run. I couldn’t get to the media platform with my pass, and I wasn’t mentally prepared to carry a folding stepladder from Orenburg and carry it around on trains and buses. And I don’t have optics like Nikkor 200-400 mm f/4.0 VR AF-S or Nikkor 500mm f/4G ED VR AF-S in my arsenal.

The Il-114 was supposed to come to the USSR Civil Air Fleet to replace the outdated passenger An-24. The first flight of the twin-engine turboprop aircraft for local airlines took place in March 1990. Times were difficult, airlines did not show much interest in the Il-114, so serial production of the aircraft never began. Until 2012, at the Tashkent Aircraft Manufacturing Enterprise named after. Chkalov assembled 17 machines, then the plant was reoriented to the production of building structures, spare parts for agricultural machinery, etc.

In 2015, the prospects for the production of Il-114 at the sites of the Samara OJSC Aviakor Aviation Plant were discussed. The fact is that Aviakor suspended the An-140 aircraft production program due to the political situation. It is not practical to carry out import substitution for the An-140 project: the head design bureau Antonov and 34 suppliers of components are located in Ukraine. Governor of the Samara region Nikolai Merkushkin assessed the project to produce Il-114 at Aviakor this way: “.. for this project, in order to implement it, 58 billion rubles are needed - this includes new equipment, modernization of the plant for this aircraft, digitization of the aircraft, well, and In the same amount, leasing an aircraft will cost approximately $14-16 million, and it will be very difficult for companies to buy such a rather expensive aircraft.”

At MAKS 2015, a flying laboratory based on the Il-114 was again shown. The aircraft was ordered by the St. Petersburg Scientific and Production Enterprise “Radar mms” in 2004. This IL-114LL was shown to the general public ten years ago, at MAKS-2005. What this aircraft is used for can be understood from publications in open sources. For example, this year, as part of the International Naval Show, the Radar mms stand demonstrated the operation of a complex for detecting underwater and surface objects, the elements of which were installed on board the Il-114LL. The stand demonstrated data transmission using the onboard search and targeting complex “Kasatka” in real time.

The issue of producing the Il-114 to replace the outdated Il-38 patrol and anti-submarine aircraft was also considered. Our designers created this car in the early 1970s on the basis of the passenger Il-18, but in the image and likeness of the American Lockheed P-3 Orion. It is clear that anti-submarine aviation complex based on the Il-38, it is outdated in its performance characteristics. But whether the IL-114 platform is an acceptable replacement is unknown. It is also unknown: will the Russian budget be able to handle these costs?

Another project based on the Il-114 involved the creation of a promising AWACS aircraft. The Air Force’s domestic analogue of the Boeing E-3 Sentry was built on the basis of the military transport Il-76MD. Hence the presence of blind areas at the all-round radar antenna, arising from the horizontal tail located on the top of the T-shaped fin, as well as the six-hour flight duration insufficient for an AWACS aircraft. The IL-114 stays in the air twice as long, its tail unit creates much fewer “dead zones,” but it is still unknown in which direction the pendulum will swing: the new AWACS or the A-50U?

August 26, 2015, second day of MAKS-2015

Photos from the second day of the salon's work. Although the flight program did not include aerobatic teams, an hour and a half after it began, the sun was not particularly annoying. Again, the experience of the first, “sighting” day helped. I will add that aircraft that were not declared in the program appeared on the runway - they were performing qualification and training flights.

The Latvian aerobatic team “Baltic Bees” arrived at MAKS 2015

One of six L-39C Albatros of the Baltic Bees aerobatic team

Created in 2008 by K.S. Avia LTD based at Jurmala Airport, the “Baltic Bees jet team” was significantly updated in 2011. The name translates as “Baltic Bees”, which is reflected in the coloring of the aircraft, as well as in the elements of the pilots’ uniform. Official website of the group: Baltic Bees. For their performances, the group uses Czech-made L-39C Albatros training jet aircraft.
“Baltic Bees” arrived at Ramenskoye airfield in the middle of the flight program on August 26, 2015. The planes immediately cleared the runway and took turns landing. I didn’t have time to watch their performance.

Su-30SM from the 43rd separate attack aviation regiment of the Black Sea Fleet

Su-30SM for the Navy have a two-tone color scheme
(dark gray top and camouflage bottom)

Multi-role two-seat fighter with a front horizontal tail and a thrust-vectoring engine (AL-31FP) Su-30SM (SM - serial modernized), this is a modification of the Su-30MKI for the Russian Air Force. A crew of two allows for combat operations involving long range and flight duration and effective management a group of fighters. In turn, the Su-30MKI (MKI - “modernized, commercial, Indian”) is an export version of the two-seat attack aircraft Su-30MK. It features avionics created within the framework of the international cooperation Russia - France - Israel - India, as well as the new N011M radar with a passive phased array antenna (PFAR) and an expanded range of air-to-air and air-to-surface weapons.
The reasons for choosing the “Indian” Su-30MKI as the base platform for the multi-role heavy fighter of the Russian Air Force are clear. The Su-30K for India has been produced in Irkutsk since 1997. The fighter has been perfectly mastered by production; it has all the necessary technological tools and equipment, hence the price, quality and production time. Thus, the intention is obvious to save budgetary funds by increasing the load on the Irkutsk plant by producing a modification of the Su-30 for its own Air Force. Agree, the situation is radically different from the above-mentioned idea of developing the production of Il-114 at Aviakor in Samara. Imagine for yourself how much more expensive it will cost to produce in a small series combat aircraft, if you go the original route: breathe life into an idle aircraft plant, purchase equipment, develop equipment and debug the technological process.

The Su-30SM carries an image of the St. Andrew's flag as a sign of belonging to the Navy

Su-30SM with tail number "38 blue" (serial number 10MK5 1202)

The St. Andrew's flag on the SU-30SM with tail number "38 blue" indicates that the aircraft belongs to the Navy. At the same time, the fighter has no signs of being ship-based: no folding wing consoles, no hook. This aircraft was featured on May 3, 2015 in the blog of the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies, see the post New Su-30SM for Naval Aviation. From this source we learn that the fighter with serial number 10MK5 1202 made its first flight in Irkutsk on March 15, 2015. Produced in accordance with the contract for the purchase of the first five Su-30SM fighters for the Naval Aviation of the Russian Navy. " The three fighters, transferred on July 19, 2014, first entered service with the 859th Center in July combat use and training of flight personnel of the Naval Aviation of the Russian Navy in Yeisk, and in December they flew to the 43rd separate attack aviation regiment of the Black Sea Fleet in Saki (Crimea)."That is, this is an ordinary Su-30SM, the same as in the Russian Air Force. The only thing that is naval about it is the coloring and the fact that after MAKS-2015 it will fly to Saki.

The Su-30SM is equipped with a phased array radar and is capable of hitting all types of air, ground and sea targets

Su-30SM is a two-seat aircraft with thrust vectoring engines, which provides it with super maneuverability

When performing aerobatics in an area of low pressure, at a certain temperature and humidity, condensation forms.
