Technodinamika Developing a Fire Protection System for MS-21 Jet

Technodinamika Holding , a Rostec subsidiary, is developing a fire protection system for the proposed Russian MS-21 jet airliner in cooperation with the US-based Curtiss-Wright Corporation (CWC). Trials of the new system are scheduled for 2016-2017.

The new MS-21 airliner will be used not only within Russia, but also in other countries. The aircraft in the MS-21 family are designed to carry between 130 and 211 passengers. The airliner is expected to go into production in 2017. The holding company’s CEO Maxim Kuzyuk told the RIA Novosti newswire about the progress of development and planned trials in an interview.

“We are planning to complete development of the fire protection system together with Curtiss-Wright by the end of this year, and test it in 2016-2017. The system has superior specifications and better performance than any systems currently available in the Russian market. It uses components that are 20% lighter than comparable equipment, and will be more compact by using a new assembly design and fire extinguishers of smaller weight,” Maxim Kuzyuk said.

The CEO of Technodinamika noted that the system is being developed for the MS-21, but can be adapted for use in both Sukhoi Superjet 100 and other airliners, including wide-body and cargo airplanes.

“The system will offer superior reliability because of its false alarm prevention feature, and will be versatile allowing adaptability for use in different aircraft types. Its modular components make maintenance and operation cheaper, while its useful operating life can be extended to match that of the aircraft in which it is installed,” the Technodinamika CEO said.

Technodinamika Holding (which operated as Aviation Equipment before March 2015) specializes in development, manufacture, and after-sale service of aircraft systems and assemblies. In addition, Technodinamika manufactures parts and assemblies for the oil and gas industry, car manufacturing and for other vehicles.

This is the 200th aircraft of this type produced by the United Aircraft Corporation and the first SSJ leased to the airline from PSB Leasing. The term of the contract is 20 years. Another 3 aircraft of this type were received by the airline this year from STLC. For the aircraft, an inverse version of the airline's livery was chosen (not the standard white and red, but red and white). Now the airline's fleet has 2 aircraft painted in such manner, the second one is A320.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
