00:02.159 --> 00:04.480
He dreamed of becoming a pilot, but fate

00:04.480 --> 00:07.120
decreed otherwise. A childhood injury

00:07.120 --> 00:09.200
closed his way to the cockpit, but not

00:09.200 --> 00:11.759
to the sky. Hinrich Novagillo found

00:11.759 --> 00:13.840
another way, began to build wings for

00:13.840 --> 00:16.080
the country.

00:16.080 --> 00:18.480
Let aviation designers express their

00:18.480 --> 00:21.480
expertise.

00:22.300 --> 00:24.160
[Music]

00:24.160 --> 00:26.640
replaced Illusian himself, the general

00:26.640 --> 00:29.519
designer, OKB, twice a hero of socialist

00:29.519 --> 00:32.000
labor, academician, organizer of the

00:32.000 --> 00:34.399
engineering team. Only a coordinated

00:34.399 --> 00:36.559
team could create such aircraft which

00:36.559 --> 00:39.520
were called heroes of the sky.

00:39.520 --> 00:42.239
Illusion had the principle of creating a

00:42.239 --> 00:44.719
team of like-minded people. This is a

00:44.719 --> 00:47.280
more difficult task than Leh managed to

00:47.280 --> 00:50.160
create an airplane

00:50.160 --> 00:52.480
to see the successor of his beginnings

00:52.480 --> 00:55.440
in his affairs and Hinrich Vasilia which

00:55.440 --> 00:58.440
managed

00:58.480 --> 01:00.239
pro.

01:00.239 --> 01:03.280
What is he? He was capable of effective

01:03.280 --> 01:04.799
management

01:04.799 --> 01:08.560
collectives and so on

01:08.560 --> 01:10.799
advanced aviation development at its

01:10.799 --> 01:13.799
peak.

01:16.479 --> 01:19.280
He started ordinary employees so long as

01:19.280 --> 01:21.439
tiresome calculations with millimeter

01:21.439 --> 01:24.000
tolerances with the night over Kulman.

01:24.000 --> 01:26.000
But even in the most boring work, he

01:26.000 --> 01:28.000
knew how to find the taste of opening

01:28.000 --> 01:29.840
one serious challenge, the wing

01:29.840 --> 01:32.799
attachment units on IL14.

01:32.799 --> 01:34.640
Then he cut the landing gear for the

01:34.640 --> 01:37.840
IL54 bomber. And now Sergey Illusian

01:37.840 --> 01:39.920
appoints him as a leading engineer,

01:39.920 --> 01:43.360
chief designer and then first deputy.

01:43.360 --> 01:45.439
He learned first of all everything that

01:45.439 --> 01:49.680
was under illusion and plus he managed

01:49.680 --> 01:52.560
create more words for a complex stage of

01:52.560 --> 01:54.720
development.

01:54.720 --> 01:56.799
A decent aircraft that still has

01:56.799 --> 01:58.900
development prospects.

01:58.900 --> 02:01.200
[Music]

02:01.200 --> 02:04.079
In 1970, Nozzilla became the general

02:04.079 --> 02:06.399
designer and immediately challenged to

02:06.399 --> 02:08.720
create a transport aircraft capable of

02:08.720 --> 02:11.280
landing not only on ordinary aviation

02:11.280 --> 02:13.200
concrete, but also on the soil and

02:13.200 --> 02:15.920
surface of the Arctic.

02:15.920 --> 02:19.040
E7 is one Soviet jet air transport

02:19.040 --> 02:21.920
aircraft, 100 professions as it is

02:21.920 --> 02:24.160
called now. It transfers equipment and

02:24.160 --> 02:26.640
heavy loads. He drops personnel, works

02:26.640 --> 02:28.959
as a rescuer, delivers humanitarian aid,

02:28.959 --> 02:31.280
and extinguishes fires. and even trains

02:31.280 --> 02:34.280
astronauts.

02:35.730 --> 02:38.480
[Music]

02:38.480 --> 02:40.879
And after more than 50 years, improving

02:40.879 --> 02:43.040
in numerous modifications are in line

02:43.040 --> 02:45.120
with the prospect of experiencing

02:45.120 --> 02:47.750
another half century anniversary.

02:47.750 --> 02:53.569
[Music]

02:54.800 --> 02:58.160
It is thanks to Novojilov that the IL76

02:58.160 --> 03:00.800
is now called the aircraft 101

03:00.800 --> 03:03.920
profession. That is there is no area in

03:03.920 --> 03:06.959
aviation except attack and fighter where

03:06.959 --> 03:09.280
this aircraft is not operated. The

03:09.280 --> 03:12.159
safest plane in the world

03:12.159 --> 03:15.040
in 86 here its model stands was created

03:15.040 --> 03:17.599
under the leadership of Henrik Vasilvich

03:17.599 --> 03:20.159
Novos.

03:20.159 --> 03:22.720
No hill of dreamed of a sky for everyone

03:22.720 --> 03:28.920
and in 1976 is 86 took to the sky.

03:29.360 --> 03:31.840
Russia's first widebody airliner

03:31.840 --> 03:33.840
combined the size of a house and the

03:33.840 --> 03:36.159
comfort of a train allowing passengers

03:36.159 --> 03:38.319
to store luggage on the lower deck and

03:38.319 --> 03:42.560
enjoy a spacious cabin above.

03:42.560 --> 03:45.680
And in 1988, IL96

03:45.680 --> 03:48.400
was born. An aircraft with a digital

03:48.400 --> 03:51.040
nervous system, record aerodynamics, and

03:51.040 --> 03:53.200
the spirit of the future. This is not

03:53.200 --> 03:55.360
just an airliner. It is Russia's

03:55.360 --> 03:58.159
flagship in the sky. It was 96 that

03:58.159 --> 04:02.200
became the number one aircraft.

04:03.439 --> 04:06.080
Already the first flights, it is clear

04:06.080 --> 04:07.920
that the aircraft was with good

04:07.920 --> 04:10.319
characteristics, flight and landing

04:10.319 --> 04:11.920
characteristics,

04:11.920 --> 04:14.159
stable controllability, and aerobatic

04:14.159 --> 04:16.560
characteristics. And when we completed

04:16.560 --> 04:19.519
the program at large angles of attack,

04:19.519 --> 04:21.600
we confirmed that the aircraft never

04:21.600 --> 04:24.600
failed.

04:24.720 --> 04:27.040
It does not fall into a corkcrew, never

04:27.040 --> 04:29.040
falls on the wing. And when increasing

04:29.040 --> 04:31.120
the angle of attack to unacceptable

04:31.120 --> 04:33.840
operating values, it calmly lowers the

04:33.840 --> 04:36.080
nose and thereby interfering with the

04:36.080 --> 04:37.680
angle of attack. This is a unique

04:37.680 --> 04:40.240
property. For the first time in world

04:40.240 --> 04:42.960
practice,

04:42.960 --> 04:46.320
the design of the safety failure of our

04:46.320 --> 04:48.720
aircraft was created. This was the

04:48.720 --> 04:51.840
beginning of embodiment in the designs

04:51.840 --> 04:55.840
of aircraft E86, V96

04:55.840 --> 04:58.720
and subsequent. So these planes I

04:58.720 --> 05:02.919
consider to be a model

05:04.639 --> 05:06.560
driving innovation into the next

05:06.560 --> 05:09.770
generation of passenger aviation.

05:09.770 --> 05:14.160
[Music]

05:14.160 --> 05:16.320
Hinrich Vasilvich said that the plane

05:16.320 --> 05:18.160
should not only be beautiful in the

05:18.160 --> 05:20.560
drawing, it should be reliable. This was

05:20.560 --> 05:22.560
the main requirement of the general

05:22.560 --> 05:25.560
designer.

05:25.600 --> 05:28.880
I remember that we tested aircraft in 96

05:28.880 --> 05:31.120
for extreme modes that is for large

05:31.120 --> 05:33.680
angles of attack for stalling buffing

05:33.680 --> 05:37.600
and havat. He flew with us. He needed to

05:37.600 --> 05:40.000
know and see firsthand how the plane

05:40.000 --> 05:44.420
behaves in flight in different modes.

05:44.420 --> 05:47.120
[Music]

05:47.120 --> 05:48.800
He believed in simplicity,

05:48.800 --> 05:50.800
thoughtfulness of design and team as the

05:50.800 --> 05:53.360
main force and engineers created new

05:53.360 --> 05:55.440
aircraft even in the most difficult

05:55.440 --> 05:58.440
'90s.

06:01.680 --> 06:03.759
The chief designer of the modernized

06:03.759 --> 06:05.680
TO4300

06:05.680 --> 06:08.319
Mikail Alex promised to bring the plane

06:08.319 --> 06:12.280
to Novoil himself.

06:12.720 --> 06:16.319
Drink 114 which was born also imposed

06:16.319 --> 06:19.199
smart one chief designer Baltalikov. She

06:19.199 --> 06:20.960
in general stopped. Well there were

06:20.960 --> 06:25.039
dashing 90 A+ accordingly. There was no

06:25.039 --> 06:28.080
normal engine. All this work stopped but

06:28.080 --> 06:30.240
the original Vasilvich seemed to want to

06:30.240 --> 06:33.120
talk. They started a conversation

06:33.120 --> 06:34.960
but he says you understand that a

06:34.960 --> 06:37.120
machine is born twice. This is very

06:37.120 --> 06:39.280
important and I ask you to treat this

06:39.280 --> 06:41.360
very carefully. I'll bring you back.

06:41.360 --> 06:45.319
Believe me, I will.

06:47.759 --> 06:50.880
Russia with its vast expanses cannot do

06:50.880 --> 06:53.600
without large longhaul aircraft. They

06:53.600 --> 06:55.680
connect the country and generations and

06:55.680 --> 06:57.600
demonstrate that the work of great

06:57.600 --> 07:01.240
designers continues.

07:11.920 --> 07:15.100
[Music]

07:17.250 --> 07:38.399
[Music]

07:42.960 --> 07:44.880
Basilovich imposed the financial

07:44.880 --> 07:47.120
allocation. He detailed the plane's

07:47.120 --> 07:50.240
breakdown, stating costs of 96,300 for a

07:50.240 --> 07:52.560
new wing, updated engines, and modern

07:52.560 --> 07:55.039
autopilot systems,

07:55.039 --> 07:58.400
new lecture equipment.

07:58.400 --> 08:00.560
Following him, Boris Alexander Gladov

08:00.560 --> 08:02.000
contributed meaningfully to the debate

08:02.000 --> 08:05.280
and shared his perspectives.

08:05.280 --> 08:06.720
This is the deputy director of

08:06.720 --> 08:08.879
logistics.

08:08.879 --> 08:10.879
He said that there are difficulties in

08:10.879 --> 08:13.520
supplying finished products associated

08:13.520 --> 08:15.759
with the fact that the designer orders

08:15.759 --> 08:18.400
equipment that is not yet available. It

08:18.400 --> 08:22.840
is either designed or manufactured.

08:24.879 --> 08:26.479
Therefore, he asked to order the

08:26.479 --> 08:30.479
equipment that is ready in stock.

08:30.479 --> 08:32.159
This explanation clarified the reasoning

08:32.159 --> 08:34.560
behind his statement. No such thing.

08:34.560 --> 08:37.760
Then Vasilish took the word.

08:37.760 --> 08:40.159
He emphasized that if this route is

08:40.159 --> 08:42.159
followed, it could result in

08:42.159 --> 08:44.640
obsolescence for the aircraft which

08:44.640 --> 08:46.560
served as the cornerstone for the

08:46.560 --> 08:49.279
advancement of not only our enterprise

08:49.279 --> 08:53.959
but also the entire aviation sector.

08:54.560 --> 08:57.360
Full force earned adjacent enterprises

08:57.360 --> 08:59.519
which were supposed to deliver these new

08:59.519 --> 09:02.240
aircraft. aircraft of the future with

09:02.240 --> 09:04.240
good characteristics, flight landing

09:04.240 --> 09:06.640
characteristics, controllability,

09:06.640 --> 09:08.160
stability, and aerobatic

09:08.160 --> 09:10.399
characteristics. And when we completed

09:10.399 --> 09:13.120
the program at large angles of attack,

09:13.120 --> 09:15.200
you confirmed that the aircraft never

09:15.200 --> 09:17.839
falls into a corkcrew, never falls onto

09:17.839 --> 09:22.240
the wing, but at a large increase.

09:22.240 --> 09:24.480
In the angle of attack on unacceptable

09:24.480 --> 09:26.560
values in operation, he calmly lowers

09:26.560 --> 09:30.279
his nose and thereby

09:30.720 --> 09:33.440
reducing the angle of attack.

09:33.440 --> 09:35.360
As a lead engineer on flight test

09:35.360 --> 09:37.760
aircraft, my unique contribution allowed

09:37.760 --> 09:40.959
greater precision.

09:40.959 --> 09:42.880
This role allowed frequent collaboration

09:42.880 --> 09:45.340
with Genius Vasilivich Navajo.

09:45.340 --> 09:46.560
[Music]

09:46.560 --> 09:48.480
After each flight and task completion,

09:48.480 --> 09:50.560
reporting directly to Genius Vasilivich

09:50.560 --> 09:53.519
was required.

09:53.519 --> 09:55.279
Executives and lead engineers had to

09:55.279 --> 09:57.120
present reports on flights and tasks

09:57.120 --> 10:00.240
directly to him.

10:00.240 --> 10:02.560
about a completed flight, completed

10:02.560 --> 10:04.800
work, and it was necessary and possible

10:04.800 --> 10:07.200
to report at any time of the day. For

10:07.200 --> 10:10.200
what?

10:10.640 --> 10:12.800
In general, he was dissatisfied with his

10:12.800 --> 10:16.040
wife, Ludma.

10:16.640 --> 10:19.279
She was offended by us. However, Nikolai

10:19.279 --> 10:21.360
didn't talk about it. That we don't let

10:21.360 --> 10:24.160
the genius Helvich rest after work. We

10:24.160 --> 10:25.920
call late at night. Well, the plane

10:25.920 --> 10:28.399
landed. Well, I'll try to listen. It was

10:28.399 --> 10:30.959
a request, an order. Let's try to obey

10:30.959 --> 10:33.440
the general. Don't lend him. By the way,

10:33.440 --> 10:36.720
Yudila is very, very grateful to her

10:36.720 --> 10:39.680
since

10:39.680 --> 10:41.600
she successfully fostered a sense of

10:41.600 --> 10:43.279
familial comfort, the way it used to be

10:43.279 --> 10:46.320
described. Wouldn't you agree?

10:46.320 --> 10:49.839
What's your name on the personal front?

10:49.839 --> 10:51.440
But I personally don't have the front,

10:51.440 --> 10:54.000
you are the rear. So Ludmila Ivanovna

10:54.000 --> 10:56.240
created such a reliable you are not

10:58.640 --> 11:00.800

12:03.360 --> 12:06.560
Vasilvich, he graciously reciprocated by

12:06.560 --> 12:09.040
commemorating my own birthday, making

12:09.040 --> 12:11.360
this tradition an enduring aspect of

12:11.360 --> 12:14.160
many years.

12:14.160 --> 12:15.920
I congratulate him. He congratulates me

12:15.920 --> 12:18.240
here. He had an exceptional fondness for

12:18.240 --> 12:21.680
listening attentively to people.

12:21.680 --> 12:23.440
Whenever an issue arose, he

12:23.440 --> 12:25.440
instinctively summoned all relevant

12:25.440 --> 12:27.200
experts for what could be called an

12:27.200 --> 12:29.680
intense brainstorming session, allowing

12:29.680 --> 12:31.920
adequate preparation if he opted not to

12:31.920 --> 12:34.660
initiate immediately brainstorming.

12:34.660 --> 12:36.560
[Music]

12:36.560 --> 12:38.240
But on the other hand, what's good

12:38.240 --> 12:40.160
imposed when it was necessary to make a

12:40.160 --> 12:41.920
decision? These decisions can be this

12:41.920 --> 12:45.560
and this and this.

12:45.920 --> 12:48.000
I took responsibility.

12:48.000 --> 12:49.760
It's not just like that. I wanted it

12:49.760 --> 12:51.760
this way based on some of my ideas for

12:51.760 --> 12:53.920
the decisions themselves. I took

12:53.920 --> 12:55.760
responsibility and accepted it will be

12:55.760 --> 12:57.519
so. And we went and did it and we got

12:57.519 --> 13:00.320
it. We had a case on a plane 96 sat on

13:00.320 --> 13:04.920
it and we flew stability on it.

13:05.040 --> 13:08.880
During speeds of Mach 0.82 to 0.83, 83.

13:08.880 --> 13:10.880
The aircraft design experienced some

13:10.880 --> 13:13.040
vibration which though not entirely

13:13.040 --> 13:15.600
terrifying affected stability as

13:15.600 --> 13:17.680
fastening speed diminished presenting

13:17.680 --> 13:20.560
notable challenges.

13:20.560 --> 13:22.480
Different versions have some related

13:22.480 --> 13:24.320
organizations spoken to you flutter. I

13:24.320 --> 13:27.600
started to get indignant is not now K.

13:27.600 --> 13:29.920
Currently there is no flater. Check the

13:29.920 --> 13:31.760
charts for clarification before we

13:31.760 --> 13:33.760
discuss further. He convened a meeting

13:33.760 --> 13:37.040
and I provided detailed updates.

13:37.040 --> 13:38.880
One of the related organizations he says

13:38.880 --> 13:43.040
doesn't understand anything but it's me.

13:43.040 --> 13:44.240
It is me

13:44.240 --> 13:44.959
already

13:44.959 --> 13:46.000
knew him.

13:46.000 --> 13:48.000


13:48.000 --> 13:49.519
Sit down. Okay. In the end he realized

13:49.519 --> 13:49.920
what

13:49.920 --> 13:50.959
antagonism

13:50.959 --> 13:52.079
tension between the related

13:52.079 --> 13:53.519
organizations has already started

13:53.519 --> 13:54.480
boiling over

13:54.480 --> 13:56.079
to the limit.

13:56.079 --> 13:58.399
By wisely halting tests on the aircraft

13:58.399 --> 14:00.800
he opted for a single serial sample with

14:00.800 --> 14:03.600
90 repeating the program seamlessly.

14:03.600 --> 14:06.079
Every task was executed meticulously,

14:06.079 --> 14:09.760
resulting in astounding success.

14:09.760 --> 14:11.920
Here's the general's decision.

14:11.920 --> 14:12.720
Decisions.

14:12.720 --> 14:14.399
The general will first listen to

14:14.399 --> 14:16.959
everyone and then draw some conclusions.

14:16.959 --> 14:18.880
I remember you can't say anything. That

14:18.880 --> 14:20.880
is ask us why we absolutely adore and

14:20.880 --> 14:23.279
cherish deeply.

14:23.279 --> 14:24.800
Why does Elushka like airplanes we

14:24.800 --> 14:27.199
simply love them? This is the essence of

14:27.199 --> 14:28.880
our existence, our wellspring of loving

14:28.880 --> 14:30.160
and living life.

14:30.160 --> 14:32.399
These are our children.

14:32.399 --> 14:34.480
As I previously detailed, I piloted the

14:34.480 --> 14:36.079
aircraft, embracing the length of my

14:36.079 --> 14:38.240
neck. Imagine removing the word airplane

14:38.240 --> 14:40.079
and adding that it epitomizes life

14:40.079 --> 14:42.160
itself.

14:42.160 --> 14:43.920
The intense pain, unwavering pride, and

14:43.920 --> 14:45.760
immeasurable joy of 10,000 individuals

14:45.760 --> 14:48.240
intertwined in unity.

14:48.240 --> 14:51.040
E I don't always want us. He emphasized

14:51.040 --> 14:53.440
that regarding utmost safety, one must

14:53.440 --> 14:55.199
meticulously follow the comprehensive

14:55.199 --> 14:57.120
flight schedules, ensure thorough

14:57.120 --> 14:58.880
calculations, and ascertain that the

14:58.880 --> 15:00.720
aircraft remains steadfast without

15:00.720 --> 15:03.279
malfunction. avoiding forced landings

15:03.279 --> 15:06.000
and emergencies. And remember, the cost

15:06.000 --> 15:08.399
at the time reached millions of rubles,

15:08.399 --> 15:10.639
an enduring investment for flawless

15:10.639 --> 15:13.040
operation.

15:13.040 --> 15:17.079
The labor of 10,000 people.
