There is currently interest in the design of small electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft to alleviate ground traffic and congestion in major urban areas. To support progress in this area, a conceptual design method for single-main-rotor and lift-augmented compound electric helicopters has been developed. The design method was used to investigate the feasible design space for electric helicopters based on varying mission profiles and technology assumptions. Within the feasible design space, it was found that a crossover boundary exists as a function of cruise distance and hover time where the most efficient configuration changes from a single-main-rotor helicopter to a lift-augmented compound helicopter. In general, for longer cruise distances and shorter hover times, the lift-augmented compound helicopter is the more efficient configuration. An additional study was conducted to investigate the potential benefits of decoupling the main rotor from the tail rotor. This study showed that decoupling the main rotor and tail rotor has the potential to reduce the total mission energy required in all cases, allowing for increases in mission distances and hover times on the order of 5% for a given battery size.

The article discusses the problems of activation of the surface of the leather tissue by laser exposure, changes in the morphology of the surface of the leather tissue during laser processing, and subsequent covering dyeing of the leather. It is shown that laser treatment changes the structure of the surface of the leather tissue, the bundles of collagen fibers are split, the structure becomes loose, which increases the diffusion of the coating dye reagents, and their reactivity increases without chemical modification. In the process of grinding leather fabric, it is finely cleaned which improves adhesion of the coating paint to the surface of the leather fabric, which improves the quality of leather fabric products. It was shown that laser exposure under the conditions found (pulses with an interval of 3 μs, a duration of 10 ns) does not cause destruction and configuration changes in collagen.

The paper describes the development and subsequent management of a central database of operational information based largely on the automated processing of time series data retrieved from the Company's telemetry control systems. Following the implementation of the system, both the quality and quantity of processed statistics available to operational managers has been greatly enhanced above the level of information originally recorded by manual methods. Also significant process modelling systems have been introduced utilising this information to improve operational efficiency. Key to the success of the system has been the comprehensive provision of facilities to quickly and effectively validate the data, together with the facilities provided to ensure that the configuration of the database accurately matches and tracks configuration changes to the field network. The paper examines these functions in some detail.
