Box 7, Moscow, 125475, Russia Tel. +7 (495) 644-17-33, 798-81-19 Fax +7 (495) 644-17-33 E-mail: info@take-off.ru http://www.take-off.ru Dear reader, You are holding another issue of the Take-Off magazine, the special supplement to Russian monthly aerospace magazine Vzlet, timed to the air show in Le Bourget. The event is considered the most authoritative and prestigious display of the latest achievements of the world’s aerospace industry, with virtually all aircraft manufacturers being eager to participate in the show. By tradition, the Le Bourget air show has been held in high esteem by Russian aerospace companies. It is also regarded as an excellent place to bolster international aerospace cooperation. A graphic example of such cooperation is the Sukhoi SuperJet 100 advanced regional airliner programme pursued by a close-knot team of Russian, French, US and several other foreign companies. This year Sukhoi SuperJet 100 takes part in the Paris Air Show for the second time, but now in a new status – of a production airliner which already started its operation. In April 2011 the first production SSJ100 had entered service with Armavia airline while Aeroflot got its first aircraft of the type in early June. Another programme Russia cooperating heavily with its European and American partners is the Irkut MC-21 prospective short/medium-haul airliner which will be presented by a full-scale mock-up of a 20-m-long fuselage section housing pilots cockpit and passenger cabin for the first time at Le Bourget. Beriev Be-200 amphibian that was certified by EASA last autumn will become one more Russian participant of the flight display programme of this Paris Air Show. By the way Russian-made helicopters are still in great demand in the world market. Last year Russian helicopter industry produced 214 machines and the plan for this year stands for 260 with a future increase up to 300 in 2012. Now our country ranks third in helicopters production and its aim is to win not less than 15 per cent of the world market in the nearest years. Russian Helicopters holding company uniting most of the country’s rotorcraft developers and manufacturers recently has started some new programmes and is now intensifying helicopter production. That’s why Russia’s rotorcraft industry and its main programmes have become the important topics in this issue. As usual Take-Off offers you also a brief review of the other recent most important events in the Russian aerospace industry, commercial and military aviation. I wish all the participants and visitors of this air show in Le Bourget interesting meetings, useful contacts and lucrative contracts and, of course, the pleasure of unforgettable demonstration flights of aircraft from all over the world. Sincerely, Andrey Fomin, Editor-in-Chief, Take-Off magazine
