The KB SAT SR-10 is a prototype Russian single-engine jet trainer aircraft, fitted with forward-swept wings . It first flew in 2015 and is being offered to the Russian Air Force and for export.
15-558: The Russian design bureau KB SAT ( Sovremyenne Aviatsyonne Tekhnologii – Modern Aircraft Technologies) began work on a single-engine jet trainer and sport aircraft, the SR-10, in 2007, displaying a mockup at the MAKS airshow at Zhukovsky in August 2009. The SR-10 is a mid-wing monoplane of all- composite construction, with a wing swept forward at an angle of 10 degrees. The crew of two sit in
30-491: A staff of about 5000 then headed by Vyacheslav M. Bakaev. Number of research flying test-beds was about 70 complemented with 20 multipurpose test stands and simulators. The institute also supported Fedotov Test Pilot School . Newly built by AMST of Austria centrifuge then was one of the advanced in the world having a gondola with a 3D visual projection system and formed the core of GFRI's aerospace medical research complex. As said Vilgelm I. Vid (GFRI deputy chief for civil aviation)
45-662: A tandem cockpit. It is powered by a single turbofan, with an Ivchenko AI-25 V AI25TSR (modification of AI25TL) fitted in the prototype, but more modern Russian engines, such as the NPO Saturn AL-55 were proposed for production aircraft. The SR-10 was offered to meet a 2014 requirement for a basic trainer for the Russian Air force, but was rejected in favour of the Yakovlev Yak-152 , a piston-engined trainer. Despite this setback, KB SAT continued to develop
60-725: Is an important Russian State Research Centre which operates an aircraft test base located in Zhukovsky , 40 km south-east of Moscow . The airfield is also known as Ramenskoye air base. The airfield was used as the backup landing site for the Shuttle Buran test program and also as a test base for a Buran's aerodynamic prototype BTS-002 . GFRI periodically hosts the MAKS International Air Show (Aviasalon). At present, GFRI also hosts Zhukovsky International Airport . The Flight Research Institute
75-612: Is an international air show held at Zhukovsky International Airport , the home of the Gromov Flight Research Institute in Zhukovsky , 40 km (25 mi) southeast of Moscow, Russia. The event was organized by the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade until 2009, more recently by the Government of Moscow and Aviasalon. The first show, Mosaeroshow-92 , was held in 1992. Since 1993,
90-635: Is held in the city of Zhukovsky , at Zhukovsky International Airport , which is the home of the Gromov Flight Research Institute . After the dissolution of the Soviet Union , many aviation companies eventually moved to Zhukovsky, using the Gromov Flight Research Institute's airfield for MosAeroShow-92 held on 11–16 August 1992. A second show was held in 1993, now renamed MAKS. Since then the air show has been held biannually. It lasts for six days, three of which are open to
105-730: The Russian Air Force and as a result KB SAT suspended all work on the project. On September 19, 2020, SR-10 took part in the "Russian Aviation Race", held at the Oreshkovo airfield ( Kaluga oblast ) Data from Russia's New Jet Trainer General characteristics Performance Aircraft of comparable role, configuration, and era MAKS (air show) MAKS ( Russian : МАКС , short for: Международный авиационно-космический салон , romanized : Mezhdunarodnyj aviatsionno-kosmicheskij salon , lit. '"International Aviation and Space Show"')
120-823: The Tushino Airfield in Moscow 22 years later. Its history in Zhukovskiy, however, began much later with the Engineering Show by TsAGI in 1990. The objective of the MAKS air show is to demonstrate leading technologies and to open up the Russian aerospace industry to the international market. A large portion of the show is dedicated to holding scientific conferences and symposia, under the auspices of Russia's Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute. The air show
135-615: The SR-10, proposing it as an intermediate trainer between the Yak-152 and the Yak-130 advanced jet trainer and for export. The first prototype SR-10 made its maiden flight on 25 December 2015. In July 2017, KB SAT announced that it had developed an unmanned variant of the aircraft named the AR-10 Argument. In September 2018, according to media reports, the Russian government failed to allocate funds to start production of SR-10 for
150-471: The air show was renamed as MAKS and is held biennially on odd years. MAKS is an important event for the Russian aviation industry and the Commonwealth of Independent States . Although it started mainly as an entertainment event, the show soon became a marketplace where Russian aerospace companies could negotiate export contracts and Russian air carriers could make foreign contacts. The 2023 MAKS event
165-682: The general public. Most of previous MAKS air shows were systematic: it usually opens with the attendance of the President of Russia, followed by company talks, and concludes with aircraft demonstrations by aerobatic teams such as the Russian Knights , Swifts , and foreign teams like Patrouille de France or Frecce Tricolori . Some highlights include: Gromov Flight Research Institute The Gromov Flight Research Institute or GFRI for short (Russian: Лётно-исследовательский институт имени М. М. Громова , Russian: ЛИИ )
SECTION 10
#1732786699400180-543: The institute pioneered a civil aircraft upset recovery system to decrease a number of CFIT accidents originated in aeroplane upsets. However, Bakaev said GFRI was passing through economic difficulties as most Russian aeronautical facilities. The institute was downsized by about 30% since 1996, and most of the test aircraft were underutilized. Due to financial problems in the 1990s (known as perestroika times), tourist fighter flights in former secret jets became available, mainly for wealthy western tourists. The security check
195-608: The institute's existence fell on the war times . During the war experts of the institute kept developing recommendations to eliminate defects in flight qualities and war-fighting capabilities of the aircraft, flight testing of the aircraft prototypes, studied the foreign aircraft and equipment, both purchased and taken as trophies. Zhukovsky airfield was the Soviet Union's equivalent to the US Edwards AFB and as such many types of aircraft underwent evaluation. Here some western aircraft were tested or analyzed: In 2001 GFRI had
210-582: Was founded on March 8, 1941, in accordance with the decree of Sovnarkom and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union . Mikhail Gromov , a test pilot , Hero of the Soviet Union , became its first chief. From the very beginning the institute participated in development and testing of aircraft and airborne systems, conducted flight research in order to pave the way to further scientific activities. The first years of
225-672: Was scheduled for July 25-30, 2023, but has been postponed to 2024, allegedly because of security concerns. In June 2024, the government of the Russian Federation announced that it would be further postponed to 2025. In July 2024, the show's organisers announced that an online version would be held instead. The air show's history traces back to 1911, when one was held in Mikhailovskiy Square in Saint Petersburg . The Soviet Union held annual air shows on
