Abstract

In this issue the works are presented on the various problems in aviation engineering domain; the reviews on scientific-designers investigations developments from leading aviation- and space-scientific-production Companies; analytic-information articles; actual discussion materials. Our authors are leading specialists, scientific workers, researchers, representatives of the designers Companies, scientific-research Institutes, Universities, for that the activity area is connected with the theoretical and applied problems of aviation and aerospace systems.

B.A.Kesel, A.N.Lunev, Specialists in domain of engines technology (Designer’s Production Company of “Aviamotor”; KSTU-KAI, Kazan); they present the outcomes of investigations on the development of high-effective methods for cleaning details of gas-turbine engine (GTE).

B.G.Mingazov, Specialist on combustion problems and flame stabilization in combustion chambers of GTE (KSTU-KAI, Kazan), propounds shortly views on the different theories of combustion process, with generalization of recommendations for the estimation of flame-out boundaries.

E.A.Gritsenko, Yu.I.Tsybizov, Professionals in area of the designing aviation engines (Scientific-Engineering Company of A.N.Kuznetsov’s name, Samara), propose on the analysis outcomes base the concrete proposals in part of the methodology of developing high-effective combustion chambers of GTE.

A.N.Kirilin, President-Scientific Head of “Aerostatica” Company (Moscow), that is unique Company of such kind in Russia, qualified specialist on the airship, presents scientific-analytic review on the development perspectives of the airship-building in 21-st Century.
