Amazing robots for aircraft maintenance. Russia risks falling behind even further

67

In previous articles, we examined the issues of technical and conceptual lag between Russia and the United States in matters of ground handling aviation:
1. How long will Russia be foolish to lose its planes
2. How military aviation works

In conclusion, I formulated the following:



If you look at how modern robotic warehouses and production facilities are arranged, then there are pictures of the future when Robots will take on more and more service functions.

However, in the comments to the articles, a number of VO readers found such ideas too fantastic. Therefore, today I propose to take a look at what developments in this direction are already in place, and whether there are real prospects for total robotization of the entire aviation service sector, both civil and military.

1. MRO robots


In 2015, Blue Bear Systems Research released one of the first dronesdesigned to help ground personnel and improve the safety of air travel.

Subsequently, a class of such drones received the designation Maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO).

According to the idea, this drone was supposed to fly around the airliner along a given trajectory and provide operators and aviation inspectors with high-quality photographs of the glider.

The next step was to write a special algorithm capable of independently analyzing the images obtained and signaling the presence of mechanical damage on structural elements.

According to some estimates, the use of these drones reduced aircraft inspection time by 3 times.

The most interesting shots are shown in this fragment:



The window shows the position of the drones and the list of tasks to be checked

That is, the engineers conducting the inspection can work not on the street, but in comfortable equipped rooms, receiving all the necessary information on their monitors.

The diagram below shows preliminary calculations of reduced aircraft maintenance costs and reduced downtime.


2. Robot tanker


The very first thing that I mentioned in previous articles is a refueling robot.

The existing experimental designs look something like this:


The project had several tasks, including:

- reduction of the interval between departures;
- reducing the risks for people associated with the presence of personnel in the filling area;
- reducing the number of required service personnel.

It is worth noting that the engineers faced a number of problems, in particular, there were difficulties with grounding, but they are working on all these problems, and slowly but surely the project is developing.

The demand for such equipment will also be in the civilian segment (especially in it), because major airports in the world are constantly working in a tight schedule.

3. Robots from Rolls-Royce


Engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce is developing a very interesting concept.

The bottom line is as follows: a special module is built into the engine itself, which contains several movable probes that are already located inside hard-to-reach places (that is, there is no need to waste time to gain access to this part of the engine).

And in real time, these modules can autonomously inspect and monitor critical elements. Such a system can autonomously identify a malfunction as quickly as possible and notify engineering services about it, immediately sending them all the necessary information.

It can also work in manual control mode when the engineer initiates the check.

Below is a frame from the demo video, which shows how a special sensor scans the surfaces of the engine blades.


In parallel, individual airfield-based solutions are being developed for engines that are not equipped with such a system.

It is obvious that in the future such systems can be developed not only for engines, but also for other most important components and mechanisms.

It is noteworthy that such solutions are not separate projects, but are part of the IntelligentEngine concept, which covers all engine life cycles - development, production, operation, repair.

In essence, this concept is a logical development of the ideas of self-diagnosis.

Robots for removing paint and coating


Amazing robots for aircraft maintenance. Russia risks falling behind even further

These laser-based solutions allow you to remove the coating in the thinnest layer - in the process of work, practically no waste is generated, and the procedure itself becomes much faster and cheaper.

By changing the nozzle, on the contrary, you can apply various coatings, including radio-absorbing ones.

The robot has much better control over the thickness of the applied layer, and the result is more stable with the lowest possible material consumption.

4. Cold Spray


Another very promising technology.


The essence of this technology is to apply a thin "repair" layer to a worn part.

Of course, there are parts, the life of which is limited by material fatigue, but there are also enough parts that wear mainly in local friction zones. Applying this technology for such parts, there is no need to recycle the old and re-manufacture the new one - it is enough to simply restore the worn-out layer.

According to calculations, when using this technology, the cost of repairing some units can be reduced several times.

5. Parts printed on a 3D printer


Another area that is actively developing all over the world is the manufacture of parts on 3D printers.

At first it was perceived as child's play, but technology does not stand still, and modern solutions have reached the aerospace industry.

So, for the F-22, the first parts have already been manufactured using this technology.


Old part with traces of use and new titanium, just printed

This technology can dramatically reduce the burden on military logistics and neutralize equipment downtime due to the lack of necessary spare parts.

In the future, the United States plans to constantly expand the list of printed parts approved for use on aircraft.

The program received government support, and in 2018 in the state of Illinois, work began to create an additive manufacturing center for the needs of the US Army (not just aviation).


It is planned that the center will begin full-fledged work in mid-2021, while the staff is mastering new equipment and conducting the necessary tests, while simultaneously making lists of what is primarily suitable for such production.

6. Robot towing Mototok


Strictly speaking, work is underway to transform this kid into a full-fledged robot, but in the meantime, it exists in a version controlled by the remote control.


And here is how towing usually takes place here:


The Mototok also has unrivaled maneuverability, as it is located on the pivot of the front landing gear and can literally pivot in place, while the towing towing vehicle with a classic "carrier" requires forward movement to change the angle of rotation of the rack, which significantly increases the turning radius.


These properties will be especially in demand on aircraft carriers and helicopter carriers, taking into account the dense layout of equipment in their hangars.


7. XYREC robots


Initially, robots were conceived as a platform for painting works, but absolutely any equipment can be hung on it, thanks to which the platform can become universal.


Conclusions


Aviation plays an increasingly important role in modern conflicts, while the lag in maintenance technologies increases the overall cost of maintaining the aircraft fleet, reduces flight safety, increases non-combat losses, increases the time between sorties, and the speed of repairs. If the aircraft cost more in the repair hangar, it means that there are fewer of them on alert.

Taken together, all these factors mutually reinforce each other's effect.

In this regard, it is extremely important for Russia not to miss modern trends, especially since the introduction of some of them is not associated with the allocation of large sums of money for these purposes or with the involvement of a huge number of scientists, but at the same time it allows to significantly increase the country's defense capability. The main thing is that the right people realize this and make a decision as soon as possible.

Some optimism is also inspired by the fact that Russian companies have already begun to master new technologies.

So, for example, Gazpromneft launched a robotic refueling system back in 2018:


And in conclusion, one more small video about how “someone else works”, in this case a robot:

        There are tens, hundreds of thousands, millions of them - people who will be replaced by robots. Moreover, this process is already in full swing. Sber is about to fire his lawyers in favor of robots. You rarely hear a live voice on the hotline for support of cellular companies.

          Because robots need to be made not for servants, but primarily for production facilities, so that the cost of goods would fall. And people can either really just be content with progress on the minimum allowance, or go to plow fields on a tractor, or engage in scientific or cultural activities. But for this it is necessary to adequately trade the whole world, not to fight or plunder, and it is desirable that the level of education of all people is much higher than the monkeys, and they do not know how on our planet.

        This is twofold. I work with industrial robots all the time, so I have some idea. The first thing that can be said is that the installation of two robots made it possible to remove a total of 16 people in 4 shifts. This is, of course, for any company a plus or minus salary, taxes, social services, headache due to absenteeism, and so on. Plus, robots work more accurately over a long distance than humans. That is, minus the human factor. From the point of view of monetary gain, it is twofold. Nevertheless, the robot is expensive and will fight back for a long time. Plus electricity, expensive spare parts. Plus, they still have to be watched by staff, and more qualified than those whom he replaced. PM faster - yes, minus the human factor - yes, cheaper - not a fact. Low-skilled personnel will rather be cheaper for simple operations.

          Cheaper? No! More reliable? No! Illness / decrees / absenteeism / time off / injury_insurance_defense lawyers - all this leads to additional costs. And the employer has to deduct $$ for unemployment benefits. So the indirect staff costs are very high.

      The author showed a certain trend in the development of a maintenance system for complex equipment. But with regard to the lag in development, there is no lagging behind, but we already have our complete absence in the line of countries with the development of this industry. And the question is not that they, robots, are there or not, but how widely they are used and what economic benefits they bring. And here everything is not very healthy. If in advanced countries in this area the number of robots per 10 jobs is calculated already for 000-200 (South Korea - 500, Singapore - 634, Germany - 488, all in 309), then we have only a few (today, probably they didn't even make it to ten). Despite the fact that 2019% of them are imported. So there is no end to the work here. And maybe you are a graduate student of the last year, but you, most likely, are as far from the topic as from the moon. The main thing is not a prototype, such as Fedor, but its implementation in production and the achievement of economically tangible positive results.

        And here it is?
        There is economic feasibility ... where we have robots. Where is it appropriate ... You are familiar with such a concept as the scale of production, right?
        Or do you need to shove robots where you need and do not need to in order to reach the preconditioned number of "robots per thousand people"?
        At our enterprise, we have a completely modern equipment park and we are gradually introducing new robotic mechanisms that are REALLY necessary.
        The state, where necessary, carries out modernization. And, I repeat, I did not see anything incredible in the video.

          Unfortunately yes. You judge the state of robotization of production in the country by the picture that you see around, at your enterprise, and you try to evaluate those processes that go beyond your vision. Here we have to take statistics on the country. As a test case, analyze, for example, the production of cars per employee for different manufacturing firms, the construction time of various comparable objects and products (ships, engines, etc.). Then you will lose the illusion that "the state, where necessary, is carrying out modernization." And it would not hurt to understand that the state will not carry out such measures in industries that do not belong to it. Management measures are needed here. It is necessary to create financial levers to stimulate the process. And on video (on the network and on TV) you can only see how, for example, in a huge hangar, a bunch of our women on sewing machines scribble medical masks, which the Chinese "spank" automated production lines around the clock.

            As I said, where necessary, the state puts robots ... As for the country, this is a question for "owners and owners". It’s not the business of the state to put robots to a conventional private trader ... This is a private matter. If a private manufacturer, Vasya conditional, likes to spend all his proceeds on booze in Turkey or houses in Montenegro, using the work of the seamstress Masha and does not think about the future, then who is to blame? This is a specific lag, a specific manufacturer, but not "our". Moreover, of their own free will ...
            In addition, he may not need robots due to the market share of his products or industry. Here, for example, he produces 1000 pieces of covers per month, which 4 people sew for him. Why does he need a robot or cnc and some other automation tool if he is satisfied with the market share and profit?
            Robots and more - for mass production ...

        Alas and ah, but you have stated everything correctly (((

      11 January 2021 09: 58
      Why?

      1) A photographer is a really useful thing on receipts and comments. They will provide full coverage of the inspection and give out suspicious photos. That is, technicians will not have to spend a conditional half of the night for inspection, and they will immediately proceed to suspicious places. As a result, the plane will fly on a safe flight in the morning. I already keep silent that an employee can simply miss a damage or crack, but a robot cannot. The main plus of the robot is that it does not get tired and does not make mistakes, it doesn’t get blurry. Of course, if the software is written well, and the attachments are of the required parameters.

      2) The tanker is also a good thing overall. Especially at all sorts of mega-loaded airports, or aircraft carriers.

      3) Engine. Such a robot will monitor the state of the internal part of the engine and transmit data. And this gives 2 advantages at once:
      - The risk of engine destruction in the air is minimized. Especially due to defects or micro-damages, up to the maintenance check.
      - Service is accelerating, you can squeeze out a couple more hours of extra time with such a robot from the check, and this is money, for a fleet of 100 cars, this is already millions of dollars in profit for AK. That is, these millions can go, for example, to reduce prices and shares. And then MC21, which will not have such a reserve, will lose and will fly empty. For passengers will choose a flight for 500 rubles cheaper.

      4) Paint / Stripping / Repairing. This technology has proven itself well in industry, automotive, and now it comes to shipbuilding and aircraft / repair.

      5) Print details. The main and key technology of the first half of the 21st century. Whoever invests in it will skim the cream off. Spacecraft are already being developed that will print solar batteries or solar sails over many square kilometers right in space. For withdrawing 3-4 tons of the train is generally easy, but withdrawing a battery or sail folded 500 times is very difficult.
      Already now, metal parts and products are being printed en masse. Moreover, even for extreme tasks - for example, Rutherford rocket engines are 75% printed, Musk also prints a bunch of details, and Relavity generally makes 95 +% of rockets without human participation. They plan to make 500 methane rockets on their engines a year with a plant of 6 people.

    Point by point:
    1. Inspection of the s-that is carried out not only visually, the backlash of some parts is checked, it is not visually determined. There are many nuances, I will not paint.
    2. Refueling is carried out through the so-called "suction cup", the tightness is carried out by a rubber cuff, after a while it loses its elasticity, a fuel leak appears, and here it is necessary to make a decision on further refueling or repair.
    The Air Force units are stationed in dispersal zones, where it is not always possible to accurately drive up the TZ.
    3. Self-diagnosis module. Yes, interesting, but not suitable for military aviation, because it leads to an increase in weight and, as a result, a decrease in combat load.
    4. Remove paintwork with a wash, sometimes just faster, again for military aviation, applying paintwork with a more optimal layer may be interesting.
    5. Restoration of details. For certification, a remanufactured part must undergo a full range of checks, which can be more expensive than manufacturing a new one.
    6. 3-D, don't know, no comment.
    7. Robot towing vehicle. Well, for an aircraft carrier it may be relevant, but in order to put the side in an arched shelter in winter, on a snow-covered taxiway and a gap along the planes of one meter?
    Well, something like that, briefly.

      1. Inspection of the s-that is carried out not only visually, the backlash of some parts is checked, it is not visually determined. There are many nuances, I will not paint.

      In most videos, it is about examining the upper surface of an aircraft. I do not think that the upper part of the physical should be checked for backlash. The area that does not need to be checked for backlash is pretty decent.

      Refueling is carried out through the so-called "suction cup", the tightness is carried out by a rubber cuff, after a while it loses its elasticity, a fuel leak appears, and here it is necessary to make a decision on further refueling or repair.

      I don't see a problem. All sealing joints need timely maintenance. Built-in counter of the number of refills + a primitive leak test system and there is no problem.

      3. Self-diagnosis module. Yes, interesting, but not suitable for military aviation, because it leads to an increase in weight and, as a result, a decrease in combat load.

      This is yes.
      Suitable for large aircraft of military transport aviation, including super-heavy type Geleksi (analogue of "Ruslan"). They fly far and long and are expensive.


      7. Robot towing vehicle. Well, for an aircraft carrier it may be relevant, but in order to put the side in an arched shelter in winter, on a snow-covered taxiway and a gap along the planes of one meter?

      Well, the trick is just that if a person wants to put the plane close to the wall, say with the tail boom ... then he can hold the remote control, go to the tail and visually control the approach to control the movement of the plane. Those. the one who controls and the one who moves is one and the same person. For large planes, as far as I understand, parking is provided for 4 people. Moreover, if someone sees that a dangerous approach is taking place on his site, he can press the stop button.

    1. Where will the workers who will be thrown out by robots go? And there are thousands of them.
    2. Will robots work with low-quality materials like our locksmiths?

    Now, everyone who works under Western certificates uses only high-quality, certified materials, which is strictly monitored by the lessor and the aviation authorities of the country of registration.
    With domestic aircraft, it will not be so. There are examples.

    Yes, by now the scientific and technical capabilities of mankind have reached the point that automation can replace many areas of activity, but the question is - what will the freed people do? There will be fewer jobs, and more and more unemployed. And here is the paradox - a private trader produces goods in an automated factory, but people do not buy - there is no money, and robots do not need it. Unemployment benefits, unconditional income, but how? To do this without simply printing money, it is necessary to raise taxes on private traders, i.e. take up to 80-90% of its profits. Will private traders agree to this? Unlikely. Capitalism, as a system, by its own laws is not suitable for this. What's in store for us? Feudal capitalism, communism or general revolution and the subsequent war of all against all and a rollback to the past?

    In the famous book "The Rise of Sunken Ships" there is
    a story about how, I don't remember who, it took to raise
    for some reason a precious wooden ship. Invited
    renowned experts for a lot of money. They are many
    spent time, examined the entire building, shut up everything,
    but no matter how much water was pumped out, the ship was refilled again.
    Finally, they invited the coolest foreign specialist,
    for huge money. On the first day, on the first dive
    he slipped and trying to hold on, raised his hand to the body
    and hit the hole with a swing. It was closed up and the process started. Having received
    his own, he went home the same day.

    And this is from personal experience, not from a book.
    In the year 80, I snatched a business trip to
    service car to the capital - Kiev. Yes
    still for some big holiday.
    Well, I took this Muscovite - a pickup with
    she was 10 years old with a yellow stripe.
    Violation of something else, and not just one - a bouquet.
    I overcame these 300 km. without incident, but
    before the capital, as I felt, I was worried.
    He hid his daughter on the floor (ducked).
    And now at the very entrance I see a post, a traffic cop ...
    And suddenly, from afar, he switches to
    the other (from the driver) side, and already close
    puts down the wand. Well, everything, I think, got it.
    I stopped, he opens the door himself
    passenger and says: Well, daughter, sit down
    exactly, and look - in front of you Kiev - Mother
    Russian cities! Drive through! Jaw
    I fell right down to the pedals and for half an hour
    and stayed there, how did he calculate?

    Of course, there are parts, the life of which is limited by material fatigue, but there are also enough parts that wear mainly in local friction zones. Applying this technology for such parts, there is no need to recycle the old and re-manufacture the new one - it is enough to simply restore the worn-out layer.

    What wild nonsense? Since when has paint started replacing a part?

    Here, as for an hour, according to the training manual, what kind of game is being pushed through once a week? Now our missiles are bad, then the ships are not the same, then the trucks, now the planes. Tomorrow what? Helicopters? Then why are the West afraid of us? We have, according to them, the shitiest? Everywhere we are lagging behind, in the west even mythical cameras look into the compressor on the go, I don’t know how it happens. I didn't even watch the video, the description was enough. They came up with a tractor that turns on the spot, but emae, what are we stupid !? Can experts at least go to the airport and see? Or what kind of industrial enterprise? He probably the poor fellow thinks that we still work with a sledgehammer? Although a sledgehammer is a useful thing at work)

    What is the article about? Robots penetrate deeper and deeper into all areas. The same goes for aviation. This is clear to everyone. Our country after the war (meaning the Third World War, political and economic, which is sometimes called Cold) has not yet recovered. The economy is lame, which means nothing for everything)))) There will be an opportunity to get to this topic.
    Although personally I am against robots. They lead to the degradation of humanity.

    In the case of our country, a thick economic barrier stands in the way of implementing much of this. In the case of industrial injuries, compensation to our employees and foreign ones - both by court and by contract - is incommensurable. The salaries of our and foreign workers are also disproportionate. I mean, of course, those countries in which robotics is developing - after all, there is an economic interest, and not just some kind of prohibitive craving for progress, so to speak.

    "robotic refueling system:"
    Taking into account that the cost of a manipulator - a tanker in terms of the long-suffering Russian ruble - is very expensive, it is rather an experiment that has no real economic feasibility.
