In 1984 SU-26 sport
jet aircraft, a future champion, that came out of the Sukhoi
experimental design bureau, made its first flight. At the world
championship in 1986 it won not only various prizes but also
the status of one of the best trainer jets in the world. Later,
in 1991, Su-29 two seat trainer was created, and in 1994 its
modified models - SU 26 and SU 31- appeared.
All of them are equipped with M14P engines (360 hp) and their
400 hp modifications (M14X). In 2003 a new type of engines is
to appear M14R (430 H.P.)
The wings are made of composite materials, based on carbon-plastic
longerons, and it is a major achievement of the advanced technologies
of the former Soviet Union.

SU 29
SU
29 is a twoseater designed on the base of SU
26 which retaines all the advantages of its
predecessor.
The empty weight of SU 29 is only 50 kg more
than that of SU 26 because of using composite
materials that form about 60% of the airplanes
construction.
When piloted by a single pilot its characteristics
are identical to SU 26.
The serial production of this airplane was
started in 1992. Su 29 has good sales in the
USA, Great Britain, Australia, SAR and other
countries.

SU 31
SU
31 is the result of development of SU 26 sport
aircraft. The experimental model made its first
flight in June 1992 and in July it made a successful
debut at the World Aerobatics Championship in
France. Y. Kayris won the bronze flying SU 31.
For the first time the aircraft was exhibited at the "Farnborough-92" Aerospace Expo and then at all major airshows.
Since 1994 the Russian national aerobatics team has been flying these airplanes at
the Europe and World championships and has achieved great success.
In 1994 the airplane passed international certification in aerobatics
category. In 1995 it passed the Russian certification.
The construction of the plane is similar to that
of SU 29 but they differ in size, undercarriage
and cockpit. The inclination angle of the back
of the pilots seat is 35 that allows to perform
aerobatics at +12/-10 g overloads. 70% of the
plane is made of composite materials with wide
use of honeycomb constructions.
The export variant of SU-31 is SU 31 X. It has
fuel tanks built in wings . SU 31 M has an ejection
seat, a new cockpit and fuel tanks built in wings
.
Modifications:
SU 31 T a standard one
SU 31 M an aircraftt with an ejection seat and
tanks built in wings
SU 31 U an aircraft with the retractable undercarriage

ENSTROM 480
The Enstrom 480 was developed to provide a more affordable, but equally competent, light turbine helicopter to a market historically dominated by the Bell 206B Jet Ranger and MD500.
The 480 has now been certified in 13 countries and has already been operated in 15 countries. With over 50 aircraft in the field now, the 480 is proving to be a popular choice for a wide range of applications, including personal transport, flight instruction, law enforcement, power line patrol, executive transport (charter), electronic news gathering, pipeline patrol, aerial photography, sightseeing, and cargo/passenger delivery.
The ability to quickly change seating configurations in the 480's flexible cabin allows an operator to optimize the aircraft for each day's specific mission. The 480's large, high inertia main rotor system provides an unusually stable and comfortable ride. Tail rotor authority is the best in its class. The conventional flight controls are responsive but not overly sensitive. The aircraft is very forgiving, making it an excellent choice for lower time pilots or for demanding missions. A current design, with excellent performance and an open flexible cabin, makes the 480 a very desirable helicopter.
The Enstrom 480 quickly established itself as the best value for money aircraft in the light turbine class.
