Petersburg Research Institute of Applied Problems (GosNIIP) began testing an unmanned convertiplane "Envelope-8", reports RIA News.

Flight tests of the Envelope-8 UAV began in the Russian Federation


The convertoplan is capable of horizontal flight, hovering, taking off and landing in vertical mode.

“The complex is being created for reconnaissance of the area, including with the possibility of throwing small-sized technical equipment into hard-to-reach places with the help of drone vertical takeoff and landing, flight tests have already begun",
said the source in the defense industry.

According to him, “the maximum take-off weight of the UAV is eight kilograms, it uses a tandem-wing scheme, which provides a large carrying capacity, and four rotary screws, driven by electric motors.” The wingspan of the “Envelope” is 1,6 m, with a flight time of 1 per hour, it can carry up to 1,2 kg of payload.

“In the future, the UAV can be scaled to other dimensions,” the source said.

He said that “the complex includes UAVs of the convertoplan type, a modular optoelectronic surveillance system, a ground control system console, and a drop transport module.” For the operation of the complex requires the calculation of 2-x people.

“In Russia, work is currently underway on several projects of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of the convertoplan type. They, in particular, involve the Kronstadt company (previously called Transas) with the Fregat and Rikor Electronics UAVs (together with the Unmanned Systems group of companies) with the devices Rikor and Aeroks the devices of the Era family, began research on this topic and Russian Helicopters ”, - said the expert in the field of unmanned vehicles Denis Fedutinov.

        They are testing not a convertoplan UAV, but a control system for such objects. The capabilities of UAVs themselves are so primitive that they do not reach the level of an aircraft model circle and why they were brought in the article is unclear. It could be said that they are working out a control system for an aircraft of the type that is being created here ... Now, if they were to test a mini engine that allows, instead of 2 hours, to stay in the air for 8 hours for an UAV .... Or try new UAV information systems ......

        "It is useless to scatter pearls in front of those who do not understand." And in fact there is no scientific approach to problem solving. Everything looks like the circles of young technicians. If it is serious at all. Then only new propellers, which have already been substantiated and calculated, can radically expand the possibilities of using aircraft. Physics and mathematics have always been and will be the basis for - first, justification and a thoughtful approach to solving aerodynamic problems and optimization of technical solutions.
        I once looked at how the issue of the input circuit in the SU-35S was solved (and not only). Solid hollow tube. It's a shame and a shame. Quite simply, you can increase the cross-sectional area of ​​the inlet nozzle several times. Moreover, not necessarily in the frontal vector of air pressure. Further, the surface of the flow outflow in the "pipe" must have its own configuration and structures of the outflow surface itself. In general, it seems that few people are seriously engaged in hydro-gas dynamics. But you need to change the essence of the methodology for analyzing such processes. In general, everything is connected and tied.

Therefore, the example with Sushka cited as an indicator of the level of analytics of the mind of its creators and those techniques that led them to such decisions.

      . They do not fly better and on the number of wings.

      -----------------------
      Why don't they fly better?
      A biplane is an aircraft with two bearing surfaces (wings), usually located one above the other. This design allows you to get a large wing area and lift with a smaller wingspan, which is very important with a lack of strength. Moreover, the increase in strength is facilitated by the ability to use closed frame structures from the upper and lower planes. The disadvantage is the increased aerodynamic drag. A variant with a lower wing significantly smaller than the upper one is called a half-wing. A variant of a biplane with planes not located one above the other (with spacing) is called tandem.

      The advantages of a biplane over a monoplane are as follows: dividing the bearing area into two planes has a good effect on the overall dimensions of the aircraft, which in turn causes a decrease in the total weight, as well as the vertical and horizontal moments of inertia. The decrease in moments of inertia positively affects the maneuverability of the apparatus. An additional gain in weight can come from the use of wing box bracing. The winged wing box can be implemented in the form of a statically indefinable design, which gives an additional margin of reliability. Practice has also shown greater than monoplanes resistance to stalling the flow from the wing, which is explained by the fact that, first of all, the stalling began on the upper (usually) forward wing set with a large angle of attack. At the same time, the lower wing continued to perform bearing functions. Instead of breaking into a corkscrew, a well-built biplane lowers its nose and picks up the speed necessary to create lift.

      Disadvantages of a biplane: the main of them, compared with a monoplane, is a higher profile resistance caused by the presence of two wings. The resistance of the strut and brace system, which is attributed to biplanes, is more likely to be present in the earliest aircraft designs, rather than in the pattern itself. In the history of aviation there are examples of biplanes with both clean (without struts and braces) wings, the so-called free-carrying biplanes. As a disadvantage, in some configurations of the apparatus, there may also be a restriction of the view between the wings.

        Explaining! If we consider the whole range of issues that should be harmoniously combined in aircraft, then with the modern approach everything looks like "pulling a blanket with holes." Here we pull it, it's cold. So it is with such decisions. Of course, if a UAV is needed for a specific task, then all the same, all flight conditions are too changeable. Therefore, not just a reserve of engine power is needed, but a "reserve" of opportunities for a favorable flight in these changing conditions. It means that?! We need a propulsion unit combined with an engine on fundamentally new proportional dependencies, or rather independencies. What am I talking about for the thousandth time.

            All my respect! A bit freed.
            So . We simulate a process that is clearly confirmed by the fact that with increasing longitudinal flight speed more efforts are required to overcome air resistance. And on separation from the Earth, on the contrary, the separation force is maximum. So or not? But in both cases, the fact is obvious that there is a force vector of any resistance. or separation from gravity. But! Since this force vector exists, it can always be transformed in this way. so that it can be transformed in such a way that there is a proportional inverse relationship when the speed and, accordingly, the resistance of the medium, and also when it is separated from the Earth, are increased. That is, an increase in resistance reduces the load on the engine. Of course, all conversion processes occur through the mover.
            Of course, not smart people will say. Well this is a perpetual motion machine. But nothing like that! need initiating power and need a process. In which nothing supernatural can and should not happen. These are the simple solutions that are being discussed. Then the aircraft will fly, in principle, with completely different geometrical shapes and aerodynamic qualities will be compensated by the efficiency of the propulsion system. Is it really that hard to understand? No, of course, such knowledge is not scattered. But the mind to understand that this is possible is necessary.

              After your explanations, the conversion process didn’t become easier. It resembles the usual take-off of an airplane. The higher the speed, the greater the air resistance, the greater the lifting force, which ultimately exceeds the force of gravity. Nothing else comes to mind if you have another example to share. And I'm absolutely a mechanic I can not imagine how to increase the load on the engine with an increase in resistance, share it if you know.

                How can I not imagine? Of course, the process is carried out through the transformation of properties and hydro-gas dynamic flow and through the physical processes themselves in the form of changes in pressure and, of course, temperature. Well, at least this is how you and others see it. In general, if you are an engineer, you must understand that the "force" itself is determined by a complex of properties, which means that through changes in the property this force can be directed and transformed in different ways.

                    It's still a question who has a problem. You, like most people, see the world as fixed concepts. I see the world as dynamic processes. That is, for me there are patterns in the form of changing properties. And these properties are simple, not complicated by names. So you create your associations with concepts that do not have a complete definition. Or, for example, in the world of modern teachings, you have electrons, atoms, bosons and an infinite variety of everything that is a consequence of the processes of el. magnetic interactions. Ie, elementary particles are always momentum. But you yourself have drawn and associate elementary particles with "flight" or movement in empty space, something that can never be seen, except for a flash. However, no one even thinks that any movement is therefore energy-consuming because it is forced to "push" other fractal structures of a different level.
                    In general, a person’s imagination is so self-confident or vice versa subject to dogma that a person cannot determine his place in what he knows and what he is not able to perceive. By the way, I did not say a single word that is difficult to understand, but you abused it. Therefore, it is better to agree with the illness of your brain than to offer people your abilities and solutions arising from this. Everything will happen in a natural process.
                    And you for example can imagine. that someone can talk about very important phenomena and their solutions in the public domain. At the same time, without taking into account priorities and understanding that this can change the arrangement of many development circumstances. And not only connected with me, personally.

                    Why just gravity? Here I will give you an example of how you can get electromagnetic phenomena in the form of an electric current with a very high EMF and incredibly high voltage. In this case, only the mechanical force of rotation is used, namely the device I am talking about. So. We have a simple metal disk and on it there are blades in the form of inducing elements, which, on the one hand, induce a current using the difference in rotation speeds at the axial part of the disk and its peripheral. But! These current-inducing elements also make it possible to use the ionizing ability of the hydro-gas-dynamic flow to ionize the surface of these already "blades" and simultaneously "coils". Moreover, these are not blades or coils that you and everyone else are able to imagine - everything is much simpler. And why is all this necessary? And this is necessary then that there are such phenomena as the Hutchinson effect or Tesla's, when a high directional EMF and high voltage cause field emission of a metal. That is, metal is destroyed in an always known place. And so that this does not happen in our device at speeds that are determined by supersonic speeds in the flow, and in metal by the indicated effect, and so that these blades do not collapse, such a structure is simply necessary. Therefore, I naturally did not tell, all the nuances are close, but the propeller and the propeller are destroyed for well-known reasons and algorithms, and in order to overcome the boundary threshold of the moment when the additionally applied engine power does not affect the rotational speed of the propeller blades, you need to increase the speed on the one hand rotation, and on the other hand, to level the destruction processes. This is such a contradictory complex process that needs to be resolved. And we solved it. Therefore, gravity is not gravity, but it is absolutely possible to substantiate the reasons for the inefficiency of the screws and, accordingly, all types of turbines, and on the other hand, we can talk about the processes that, in their sequence and combination algorithms, allow creating a new type of propulsion device. Well now try to move your brains! the effects are known and proven by science. Nothing new has been added, except for the coil design without self-induction effects, which is also used as a "blade".

There is a practice of searching for non-standard or creative ideas and, accordingly, people. Moreover, these people themselves are between "a rock and a hard place." Some dream and make efforts to own the brain of such people, while others accordingly make efforts not to be left without anything. We are already dangerous because we wash differently than others. Therefore, dissent in any important topic has always been persecuted. Nothing has changed in these times either. Consider another thing that the technology of searching for ideas with a prospect of application is also an important element, the ability to strategically develop and see the direction of your development. Whoever does not understand this is already a loser. Therefore, it is better to stay on the verge of learning and blissfulness. And even more so invisible.

Only delirium can be called "VIBRATIONS", not knowing what they are and how they can be mathematically expressed both in their manifestation and their relationship with causes and effects. What kind of pyramids and synchronizations can we talk about is a total delirium. I'm talking about simple devices that can simply simply replace propellers and turbines, because these new devices can be spinned an order of magnitude higher in speeds, which means that it will be possible to create a reference resistance for reactive force. When I show these devices to some people, they are already fascinated by both the simplicity and the complexity of understanding how it works. What can you see there? You can see the effect of converting, for example, water to steam at 500 watts of motor power. It is possible to reduce the power of the motor, but there are no such low-power, but massive ones. so that the already converted energy can withstand strength. Or the simplest induction coil with which each person is in constant contact. But man is blind in mind. Tesla was going to this when he said that the primary winding of his generator should have only one turn. Why Maybe I should explain to someone or you yourself will think of it. Therefore, I can only say that the solenoid output is itself and "paralyzes" by the fact that the magnetic fluxes oppose each other. Therefore, the coil of a new type should not be wound in turns. So is the screw. Hydro-gas dynamic flow in the centrifugal rotation of the blade experiences a complex of influences and at a certain diameter of the blade it affects the transformation of the already potential energy of water (for example) Therefore, it cavitates on the surface of the outflow of the blade, and not at its end, which does not allow the blade to spin further, which destroys its surface. In short. I have already said so much that it is possible to create the process that I am talking about based on all the hints. I get the impression that I live in the "kingdom of crooked mirrors". I'm talking about simple things that I understand that they can change the world, and which are not very cheap in knowledge, but everyone considers me an idiot.

If you offer at least one of the approximate hints on how mathematically the system of landmarks can be expressed in the analysis of a certain local mathematical space, then I will give you a respected device about which I speak a lot and often. And you will be the richest and most famous person in the world. It all hates me and I have a different system of values. But! You have a chance. I can give you a hint. The reference system is plotted on the axis of precession, as the fourth axis of the coordinate system is times. Second, only through the function of constant value of a number, it is possible to construct the local space itself, for example, in the form of a "person". Think about it. You have a chance. Everything is not as difficult as it seems. I had no prompts. Although I confess that everything came out of "DREAMS". I just learned to memorize them and create a state where they can appear. Do not think that I used the methods of Edgar PO.

                      Quite right! As far as I have noticed, usually people focus on the products that I position. Naturally, this is impossible for them. However, it is the work with information that is more important. And here the most important thing is that in fact, the novelty is precisely the physical process in its sequence, and not just iron. Energy transformations are modeled, and the device is only its organizer. Sometimes you don't need to invent a design - you need to think over and organize the algorithms for the stages of the process. Therefore, working with information is that source. which allows you to see from a huge, or rather to see, many repetitive and symmetrical components of the information space and it remains only to highlight what is the progressive part of the information. One has only to imagine that a person will stop making mistakes and will be able to build harmonious algorithms for his development. The progress will be incredible and in a very short period of time. But these are all flowers. The main thing is that we were able to NUMBER to identify all geometric and basic energy processes. Geometry becomes the gradient of a number in its function to express a vector. Moreover, this vector is always expressed by the integer value of a number in its algorithms that determine the dimension of this vector and the direction of its transformation into other subsequent ones. Energy aspects expressed by NUMBER are manifested through the interaction of such properties of NUMBER, which are expressed through potential. All this means that mathematical analysis can be built through the form of perception of the dynamics and density of algorithms for successive transformations and the information flows themselves and those phenomena. which they express. In other words, the thought can be expressed mathematically. And even express the cause and consequences of this thought. Sometimes I do not believe that such "nonsense" can be reached. But if it did not have the specifics expressed in the mathematical justification and in the specifics of the decisions, then I would have called myself a "schizo".

        I do not see more than one minus for unmanned aparaya
        compactness, great strength, great stability
        the view on the sides of the wing is not critical, because cameras will watch, not the pilot from the corps
        speed again this is not a fighter jet

        Of the pros already said UAV takes off itself, without catapults
        for many aircraft-type UAVs, either a catapult or an operator’s assistant is needed as a gray gelding in an attempt to drop it, so that it would have enough free-stream speed to start the flight
        The tandem of wings 1.5-2 times reduces the wingspan

        Look at any plane and you will see a whole bunch of problems. There are systemic dependences on the energy of the process that small UAVs with high flight performance will never fly, in the same way, when they are scaled. Again, so it all comes down to the possibility of mathematics and physics to substantiate this. Therefore, I always position new technical solutions with a new method of mathematical analysis of energy dependencies as complex solutions, not private ones

            This, by the way, is not my problem. It is your problem that you are underdeveloped and give similar advice. Questions are exclusively debatable and if someone does not think out for one reason or another. then this is just a test of ability, but for me the opportunity to understand that you can talk with this person or not. The fact that people are underdeveloped is also not a problem. There is an evolution of consciousness and an expansion of knowledge about the world and its properties. Therefore, on the one hand, we are philanthropic and ready to help those who exert efforts for their development. But those who are doomed to their self-confident illiteracy may remain a slave to other people's knowledge. Usually smart people defend their opinions and at the same time improve themselves.

                You yourself are perplexing yourself. Of course, there are no "blue elephants". But there is a well-founded understanding that your brain is incapable of constructing coherent reasoning algorithms. All your reasoning is chaos and is aimed only at evaluating the other person and his reasoning. at the same time, you yourself do not make any efforts for self-improvement. Therefore, as a scientist, you are not worth a dime. Your reasoning is already a test for professional aptitude. And any scientist cannot neglect a single detail of his reasoning. Another thing is that justifications can determine the right place for each such, even unusual, thought and idea.

    The main advantage of a tiltrotor is vertical take-off. Well, why did he need a second wing - this is overweight during vertical take-off. But in general, the problem of taking off a traditional UAV does not exist, this procedure is so simple, why bother with a convertiplane. Here is the creation of a complete convertiplane, like Osprey - this is the task. But I didn’t hear that anyone would do it with us.
