AIRCRAFTS

Particularly, civil and military aircrafts, presented at the following stands of domestic manufacturers:
1) Softex‑Invest LLC, presenting six units of aviation equipment of various types and purposes, including:
- for the first time in Ukraine, a lightweight multi‑purpose helicopter VV‑2, weighing 1100 kg, with a payload of 500 kg and the ability to transport two people at a time (1 pilot and 1 passenger) to a distance of 550 km, as well as the ability to fly at speeds of up to 270 km / hour (cruising speed ‑ 240 km / h). The maximum flight altitude is 3 km. The helicopter is designed, first of all, for pilot training. In addition, it can perform patrol functions: power lines, gas pipelines and forests monitoring.
- Ukrainian multi‑purpose aircraft V‑24‑1. This domestic aircraft is equipped with two engines installed on pylons under the wing and has 4 seats (1 for the pilot and 3 for passengers). The aircraft can take off from a short runway, including the unpaved one. V‑24‑1 consumes a small amount of fuel (A‑95) and is equipped with a comfortable cabin and a paired control. The aircraft is certified in Ukraine and is designed primarily for training civil aviation and military pilots. In addition, a thermal imager and photo‑video equipment can be installed on the aircraft, which allows to use it as a light reconnaissance vehicle.
- the first copy of the twin‑engine helicopter V‑22 at the final stage of development;
- the first copy of the twin‑engine V‑52 helicopter equipped with 5 seats at the final stage of development;
- unmanned helicopter Y‑2 (unmanned version of the helicopter VV‑2);
- VV‑2 complex helicopter simulator and Y‑2 UAV simulator.

These were followed by the exposition of a regular participant of the Aviasvit‑XXI ‑ the Aviation of New Generation LLC, which presented a modified, in comparison with 2016, five‑seat aircraft of the new LA50 Patriot UA generation. The aircraft is made of modern composite materials, has an increased flap area, which allows for greater flight speed, as well as an onboard computer system and landing gear, which can be removed together with the shock absorption system.

The first Ukrainian MSB‑2 helicopter NADIA of developed and produced by Motor Sich JSC was the heart of the aviation equipment exposition. The Ukrainian helicopter is equipped with a new gearbox, developed by Motor Sich specialists, new AI‑450M engines with a capacity of 465 hp and new avionics. More than 50% of the helicopter is made of carbon fiber, which has significantly reduced weight and increased technical characteristics. Comparing with its predecessor Mi‑2, MSB‑2 is capable of lifting into the air the weight of one extra ton. NADIA's ascensional rate has been improved by 50%. Moreover, new opportunities are being developed for equipping the machine with a winch, for carrying goods on an external sling and for creating a medical version of the helicopter. It should also be mentioned that the helicopter presented at the Salon has already reached a height of 7 thousand meters, setting a record for such class helicopters.

The following companies participated and demonstrated natural samples of aviation equipment at the exhibition for the first time:
- Gyropract LLC introduced a new development of a light Gyroplane Sapphire aircraft in a military version designed to protect borders, conduct aerial reconnaissance, evacuate the wounded and deliver essential goods. Moreover, the gyro can be used in the civilian segment for hunting, expeditions, pilot training, excursions, advertising, chemical work in the agricultural sector, law enforcement, for monitoring forest fires, etc.
- The ultralight aircraft manufacturer Aeros Ltd has introduced a single‑seat Aeros Nanolight Trike. Nano‑trikes attract the attention of pilots, first of all, for their mobility and lightweight design.

The greatest sensation of the Salon was a prototype (technology demonstrator) of a heavy manned copter with a gasoline engine and a take‑off weight of 450 kg, called FLYING BIKE, presented by a group of private developers from Kramatorsk. The copter has a gasoline engine with a capacity of 130 hp. Electronic stabilization in the air system provides almost anyone without special piloting skills with the ability to operate the copter. Lifting force is provided by 4 electronically controlled variable pitch propellers, capable of lifting two people at a time.

Ukrainian and foreign developers of all types and purposes UAVs were widely represented at the exhibition, as well as, responding to the contemporary needs, systems and means of dealing with UAVs. The following enterprises demonstrated their designs: Vestel Savunma Sanayi A.S. (Turkey), WB Electronics S.A. (Poland), Aviation Systems of Ukraine LLC, Atlon Avia Scientific and Production Enterprise, DeViRo Production and Innovation Company, Matrix UAV, National Aviation University, Spitek Scientific and Production Enterprise, Ukrradioprom Scientific and Production Enterprise, Kharkiv Aviation Institute, Terra Hexen Company (Poland) and others.

ENGINE ENGINEERING

A prototype of an ion‑plasma engine for space flights, presented by FED PJSC became another highlight of the Salon.

"The most promising ion‑plasma engines will be used for space exploration, satellites launching, flights to the Moon, Mars, and other interplanetary flights. In the world there are only a few companies developing such technologies, and Kharkiv enterprises are among them. Ukrainian companies‑members of the MEHATRONIKA aerospace cluster are going to launch their own production of such engines within the next few years," ‑ stated Viktor Popov, PJSC FED Cluster Head and Chairman of the Board. The new units for airplanes and helicopters control were also showcased at the stand.

The JSC Motor Sich and SE Ivchenko Progress joint exposition demonstrated modern aircraft AI‑450, MS‑500V‑C, TV3‑117VMA‑SBM1V engines 4E, AI‑450C, MS‑400 series. Among the novelties one should mention the AI‑322F turbojet bypass engine with afterburner duct, the main BP‑17MS and BP‑442 gearboxes for Mi‑8MSB and Mi‑2 helicopters, equipped with AI‑450M engines.
