[013] FC4B Hardware ~ Business Helicopter: ~ Voice Control

FC helicopter has voice control for development and test:
~ Voice control would be possible to tailor.
~ VC feature is handy specially during development and test phase.

Background:
~ Using Prof Michio Sugeno, Tokyo Institute of Technology Systems Sciences Department, system
~ there is only one control and that is
~ typically given by voice; the operator need not be aware of the
~ helicopter's dynamics. In fact, voice control is not a major issue in
~ this project. The operator speaks a command into a microphone and the
~ digitized speech is then analyzed using a conventional speech processing
~ box, which decides if it is one of the allowable commands and if so,
~ displays its choice on a CRT. If the operator agrees with the analysis
~ he confirms the choice by pressing a key, and the command is then
~ transmitted to the helicopter. A second microphone near the speaker
~ functions as an active sound subtraction system; the operation
~ environment is quite noisy.

~ Dessert sand is otherwise fatal to helicopter.
Background:
~ Filter safeguard for helicopters
~ IDEX 2005: a new air filter for the Eurocopter AS 350 helicopter’s Turbomeca engine could be good news for operators of this and similar aircraft.
~ Developed by CGTM and Pall Aerospace, the self-cleaning dynamic air particle separator is the outcome of a joint programme,
~ which was thoroughly tested during the latest Paris-Dakar Rally in the Sahara.
~ During that event, a single AS 350 flew for some 100 hours at very low altitude for nearly 10,000km through billowing dust clouds
~ and swirling plumes of sand, as well as making 98 desert landings.

[015] FC4B Hardware ~ Business Helicopter: ~ Water-scalpel

FC helicopter has no Water-scalpel:
Background:
~ Scientists have been dwelling upon the question of how to cut a worn-out nuclear reactor or a nuke,
~ if there was still some explosive left in it. A flame or a laser will not be good for the purpose -
~ the nuclear content will warm up and explode.
~ A highly-pressured squirt of water saturated with frozen water dropswill be a good device to accomplish the goal,
~ scientists from the Tula State University believe.
~ It is rather hard to create the installation, though: the object is rather dangerous.
~ A wrong movement will inevitably result in an explosion.
~ A squirt of water must be powerful enough to be able to cut metal and wash the nuclear content out without provoking a blast.
~ The remote-controlled system is supposed to be ecologically safe, fast, efficient and economical.
~ At first we need to conduct a theoretical research. One has to analyze processes, which take place in a nuclear head, for instance,
~ when it is affected with a compressed squirt of water in order to find out the reaction of the explosive to the water impact,
~ doctor of technical sciences, Vladimir Brenner said.
~ If we use the current of ice granules flying at a very high speed, we need to find out the model,
~ according to which they will be formed in the system. One has to find out how the flow of compressed air, water and cooling substances
~ can be transformed into a squirt of tiny ice pieces. When we know how an abrasive material interacts with explosive,
~ it will be possible to conduct experiments and make the actual system, the professor said.
~ It is an open secret that one may add an abradant - tiny pieces of solid material -
~ to a squirt of water to considerably increase its power. Russian scientists have already developed and tested such a system.
~ A squirt of water and abrasive powder cut a three-millimeter metal sheet and a six-millimeter steel angle bar.
~ The device proved to be very efficient: the system was cutting metal at the speed of 0.5-3.2 mm per second.
~ The test system was made to demonstrate potential opportunities of the method, which could be subsequently used for cutting nuclear reactors
~ and warheads. Russian scientists are sure that they will be able to develop compact mobile systems,
~ which will be capable of putting out water squirts with surface pressure of tens of thousands of atmospheres.
