BOAT-SAMOLETY

The student design Bureau of our universities and colleges had a lot of interesting technical innovations. Most of them are audacious alloy of thought and rigorous scientific analysis. As well as some new alloys in the industry, they have amazing properties and thus to their appearance refute everything that was said about this earlier — for example, “cannot”, “will”, “not Mature enough” and “not ready”.

 

And the most remarkable student development is, perhaps, the ability to separate the valuable from the casual perspective from unjustified. Especially interesting student work in the field of creation of new aircraft the original schemes. Planes, lanerolle, record and aerobatic gliders, microcategory and microviscosity — wig and AVP — this is not a complete list of student works in recent years. Some of them were demonstrated on VDNH USSR and immediately fell in love with our youth. Build them, fly them.

 

Editorial mail shows that enthusiasts microelectroni every year becomes more and more. As an example, a young worker Leonid Turbine and doctor of physical and mathematical Sciences Mikhail Gokhberg: they are both enthusiastically engaged in flying the PA hang gliders (paragliders) and achieved considerable success. Mikhail Borisovich Gokhberg — master of sports of water ski — annually demonstrates hang-gliding own designs on the Day of the Navy at the Khimki reservoir in Moscow, and Leonid Turbines leads a team of other enthusiasts, like himself, in the youth club “Luch” of their neighborhood. The club is located on the banks of the Moscow river. It is very convenient in the summer, the glider is placed on floats and can be towed by high speed boat; and in winter, when the waters covered with ice, for towing, used cars, motorcycles, snowmobiles or motonarty — all of this technology, also created with his own hands, has in the club “Luch”. Residents of the neighborhood — IV first and foremost, of course, the kids are very proud of “his” club. Therefore, the flights are always a lot of spectators and fans. And no one is never surprised — even if on the ice with incredible speed sweep put on skates country aluminum chair with a propeller in the back or in the air suddenly appear a strange structure made of bamboo poles covered with old sheets. Fans know: for the guys from the club “Luch” nothing is impossible!

 

 

 

But one day we received a lengthy letter. We opened it and could not believe their eyes after seeing photos sent by flying boat “Progress” to which some planking was fastened the wings and tail. Our turn came to be surprised — this has not happened! Invented, designed, built and conducted extensive testing of this “boat-samoleti” students from the Riga red-banner Institute of civil aviation engineers (abbreviated — riiga). Those students who were participants of the exhibition NTTM-72 and are mentioned in the list were awarded medals ENEA USSR. However, it is better to give the floor to them — creators of a new, original idea and implementation of the seaplane rkiiga-74. The editorial Board believes this project is worthy of attention because the construction of seaplanes and amphibians opens the possibility of using existing areas, while finding a fit for flying platforms on land, even for initial training of glider pilots — was very complex. The future obviously belongs to seaplanes and wig! So say the enthusiasts of the new vehicles. With them we can not agree: after all, two-thirds of our planet is covered with water!
