Air transportation: concept, types, sources of legal regulation. The main types of income of aviation transport enterprises § performance of work and provision of paid services to the population and organizations

Aircraft factories are enterprises that carry out pilot construction and serial production of aircraft, on-board systems and equipment, and aircraft engines.

Aircraft building is an independent branch of mechanical engineering, specializing in the production of the most complex products that require high-precision processing. Aircraft factories are closely connected by production cooperation both among themselves and with enterprises in other industries, receiving from them a variety of semi-finished products and structural materials (standardized parts, bearings, wheels, radiators, axle shafts, chassis, propellers, gasoline and water pipes, etc.) needed to produce the final product. The largest Russian aircraft factories are integrated into the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), founded in 2006.

For the production of aircraft, not only metals (aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, etc.) and light alloys are used, but also a large number of a variety of non-metallic materials, represented by various types of wood, fabrics, leather and its substitutes, glass, plastics, varnishes, adhesives, rubber and rubber products, etc.

The main production processes in the aircraft industry are:

  • preparation of parts;
  • their processing;
  • assembly of individual components and assemblies;
  • assembly of the whole product.

At aircraft factories, the following systems for organizing workshops are used:

  • aggregate, or subject, in which each workshop is engaged in the production of some large aircraft unit, starting with blanks for it and ending with its assembly and finishing (such a system provides for the organization of a fuselage, center section, chassis-frame, etc. workshops);
  • technological, or functional, in which the factory workshops are grouped taking into account the similarity of technologies, in each workshop certain technological operations are performed that are necessary for the production of all aircraft units: for example, in the blanking and stamping workshop, sheet metal is processed; metalwork and welding - processing and welding of units, in the workshops of detailed and aggregate assembly - assembly of parts and assemblies, etc.
  • mixed, recognized as the most rational, in which procurement workshops are organized on a technological basis, and assembly production works on an aggregate basis.

The first aviation enterprises in Russia appeared in 1909-1911: the production of aircraft was carried out by the Dux plant in Moscow, the First Russian Aeronautics Association S.S. Shchetinin and Company” and the Russian-Baltic Carriage Works in St. Petersburg. Until 1917, there were 15 aircraft factories operating in Russia with a total number of employees of about 10 thousand. In 2009, 400 thousand people worked at 106 aircraft industrial enterprises, of which about 100 thousand worked in the UAC. In 2011, there were 29 civil aircraft were produced.

The concept and factors of location of aviation industry enterprises

The history of the development of the aviation industry began at the beginning of the 20th century. During the First World War, it developed as the largest branch of industry. Greater growth aviation industry received in the period 1939-1945. It is the most concentrated branch of modern industry. It is part of the military-industrial complex (MIC).

Definition 1

The aviation industry is an industry that conducts research, scientific development, construction and testing of prototypes, serial production aircraft and their elements (motors and other equipment).

The scientific, technical and production potential of the aviation industry is the basis for the development of other industries: metallurgical, radio engineering, electrical engineering, etc.

Remark 1

The aviation industry is of great general economic and defense importance for the state. Modern aircraft industry is one of the most promising areas of economic development developed countries.

In the military-industrial complex, the aviation industry is represented by 220 enterprises and 150 scientific organizations. Most of them are located in the Volga region and in the Urals. At large industrial bases, finished products are assembled from supplied parts and assemblies. The key factors in the location of production plants are the availability of qualified specialists and transport infrastructure. Development and design is carried out in the design bureaus of Moscow and the Moscow region. In addition to the construction of amphibious aircraft. They are being developed in Taganrog. In addition, many important factors in the location of aircraft manufacturing enterprises are remoteness from borders with other states, ensuring complete security for the population, as well as the availability of cheap resources (electricity, aluminum, etc.).

global aviation industry

World aviation originated and began to develop rapidly at the beginning of the last century. The main motive for its development is the military industry. Therefore, initially the aviation industry was formed as a branch of a military nature, and later began to produce aircraft for civilian purposes. The development of this industry is determined by the number of permanent military government orders and the possibility of exporting equipment to other states.

The global aviation industry includes the following areas: development; production; trial; repair, disposal of aircraft; disaster investigation.

Remark 2

The aviation industry has a high degree of capital intensity, which determines its high monopolization of the industry. In the leading states, 3-4 aircraft manufacturing companies are represented. Fierce competition contributes to the merger and consolidation of even large enterprises within the same country. The main goal of integration is to increase power and confront other states

The leaders of civil aircraft construction are the most famous companies today. The American firm "Boeing" (Boeing) is one of the leaders in the production of large civil aircraft for long-haul flights. Its main competitor is the European organization Airbus. And Russia is a considerable competitor to American and European aircraft.

For military purposes, the main developers of aircraft and helicopters are the United States and Russia. But there are also successful developments in other states. In particular, Israel is considered the leader in the production of unmanned aircraft (UAVs). America also adopted the French Harrier aircraft.

The structure of the global aviation industry includes:

  • production various types airplanes and helicopters;
  • engine manufacturing;
  • development and production of avionics (electronic equipment).

The most important sectors of the aviation industry are aircraft and helicopter construction. These areas are represented in more than 20 countries of the world. Large airliners are produced in the USA, Western Europe and in some CIS countries and Russia. Aircraft for up to 100 passengers for intracontinental flights are produced in Brazil, China and Canada.

Of great importance in recent years is the production and sale of light civil aircraft for security and safety, search for people and objects, as well as for sports, medical and business purposes.

The place and role of the aviation industry in the Russian economy

In the USSR, the aviation industry was developed after the decree of the Soviet government on the nationalization of aircraft factories in 1918. At that time, there were 15 small aircraft factories in the country with 10,000 employees, as well as one aerohydrodynamic institute. The Soviet aviation industry reached its peak of growth during the Second World War.

Remark 3

Currently, the aviation industry of the Russian Federation occupies a leading position in the world in terms of production of civil and military aircraft. This is one of the most high-tech industries with a large number of highly skilled workers.

On the territory of Russia there are more than 20 large enterprises of mass production, four companies of pilot and experimental aircraft building, aircraft factories for the repair of equipment and for the manufacture of various units. The largest plants are the Irkutsk Aircraft Plant (IAZ) and the Nizhny Novgorod Sokol Plant.

Structure and location of the main branches of the Russian aviation industry:

  • enterprises for the production of aircraft engines (Perm, Samara, Kazan, Moscow, Omsk);
  • aircraft manufacturing enterprises (Irkutsk, Novosibirsk, Voronezh, Ulyanovsk);
  • construction of helicopters (Moscow, Kazan, Rostov).

On the territory of the Russian Federation there is a united aircraft building corporation, which includes the largest enterprises for the production of aircraft, as well as Oboronprom (large companies for the construction of helicopters and engines).

Despite the rapid development of the industry, the aviation industry faces a number of challenges:

  1. lack of funding;
  2. weakening of human resources;
  3. growth of accumulated debt;
  4. non-reimbursement of costs for work in progress under state defense orders.

Government intervention is needed to solve these problems. To ensure defense, the government is trying to invest heavily in the development and production of military aircraft and the development civil aviation. Innovative research and production, testing and other bases are being created. Models of Russian aircraft are not inferior to foreign ones, and even surpass them by some criteria.

Air accident investigation. Basic concepts, goals and objectives

Aviation accidents, depending on their consequences, are divided into:

aviation accidents with human casualties (catastrophes);

aviation accidents without loss of life (accidents) APBCJ.

aviation incident- an event associated with the use of the aircraft, which occurred from the moment when any person boarded with the intention to fly, until the moment when all persons on board for the purpose of the flight left the aircraft, and due to deviations from normal functioning sun; crew; flight control and support services; environmental influences.

Serious aviation incident- an aviation incident, the circumstances of which indicate that an aviation accident almost occurred.

Aviation accident with human casualties (catastrophe)- an aircraft accident that resulted in the death or missing of any of the passengers or crew members.

Aviation accident without loss of life (accident) - an aviation accident that did not result in human casualties or the loss of any of the passengers or crew members.

The main purpose of the investigation of the AP- the establishment of factors, conditions and circumstances related to the incident, the study and analysis of which will allow, with sufficient probability, to establish their causes and consequences, as well as to develop proposals for preventing incidents for these reasons in the future. Investigation is a process that includes the collection and analysis information on the event, conducting the necessary research, establishing the causes of the event and developing recommendations to eliminate incidents.

Accident investigation includes: - preliminary work; - search and rescue operations; - organization of an accident investigation commission; - accident investigation and final work.

Commissions for the investigation of accidents are appointed by order of the department that conducts the investigation. The composition of the commission must be formed within 2 hours after receiving the initial report of the incident.

The commission of investigation is formed from the most qualified specialists who have experience in the investigation of an accident and have high business qualities. For the objectivity of the investigation of an accident, the commission should include persons who are not directly related to this accident and are not responsible for it. The commission consists of a chairman , deputy and members of the commission.

The chairman of the commission is the senior official in charge of the investigation of the accident. All his orders and instructions are subject to implementation by all members of the commission and officials participating in the investigation.

Upon arrival at the scene, the chairman holds an organizational meeting, at which he announces the order to appoint a commission, creates sub-committees and appoints its chairmen. circumstances of the accident, conducting rescue operations, questioning the crew, and, if necessary, passengers and witnesses due to the circumstances of the accident, inspects the scene)

Inspection of the scene of the incident is the primary task of the specialists who arrived to investigate. It allows you to get a clearer and more complete picture of the circumstances under which the incident occurred, and on the basis of this outline further work. The main attention during the inspection should be directed to identifying factors that will help determine possible flight path, position and configuration of the aircraft and its approximate speed at the time of impact.

Photographing is the best means of recording a picture of an incident and should be widely used during the investigation. Photographing the scene of the incident, the general picture of the spread of debris and their condition is carried out before a detailed investigation.
