//((FROM THE "NOVOSTI" NEWSCAST: VIDEO REPORT FROM BIRMINGHAM,
ENGLAND BY OLEG SHOMMER, MIKHAIL GOLTSEV, IDENTIFIED BY. CAPTION))
((EXCERPT)) ((PASSAGE OMITTED SHOWING BIRMINGHAM STREET SCENES,
DESCRIBING CLEANLINESS)) ((18174.7)) ((SHOMMER OVER VIDEO OF
AIRPORT ARRIVAL AND PRESENTATION SCENES)) SARATOV AIRCRAFT
BUILDERS, DESIGNERS FROM THE YAKOVLEV DESIGN BUREAU, AND CENTRAL
AERODYNAMICS INSTITUTE SPECIALISTS HAVE BEEN INVITED. TO ENGLAND TO
PRESENT THEIR OUTPUT FOR ASSESSMENT BY POTENTIAL FUTURE BUYERS.
INCIDENTALLY, JUDGING BY THE INTEREST SHOWN BY THE LOCAL
AUTHORITIES AND REPRESENTATIVES OF INDUSTRIAL AND FINANCIAL CIRCLES
IN THE NEW GENERATION OF YAK AIRCRAFT,, WHOSE PRODUCTION IS NOW
BEING SET UP IN THE VOLGA CITY, CONQUERING THE WESTERN MARKET IS
NOT JUST A PIPE DREAM.
THIS 120-SEAT AIRCRAFT FITTED WITH MODERNIZED NAVIGATIONAL
EQUIPMENT AND AVIONICS CAN TAKE OFF AND LAND IN VIRTUALLY ANY
WEATHER. THE LEVEL OF COMFORT MATCHES INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.
((VIDEO SHOWS GLOSSY PICTURES AND AIRCRAFT CABIN))
THE PLANT IS PLANNING IN THE NEAR FUTURE TO EMBARK ON THE
PRODUCTION OF A NEW EIGHT-SEATER PASSENGER BUSINESS JET WHOSE
SPECIFICATIONS WILL RIVAL ITS BRITISH COMPETITOR, PRODUCED BY
BRITISH AEROSPACE. THIS IS THE COMPANY WHICH IS ALSO TAKING PART
IN BUILDING THE NOW WIDELY-KNOWN AIRBUS. AS DISTINCT FROM THE
PRACTICE IN OUR COUNTRY IN RECENT YEARS, THIS IS A GRAPHIC EXAMPLE
OF COOPERATION AMONG LEADING WESTERN COUNTRIES.
* THE NEWS THAT A GENUINE FLYING SAUCER IS BEING ASSEMBLED IN
SARATOV PROVED A SENSATION. THIS FUNDAMENTALLY NEW AIRCRAFT, WHICH
COMBINES WING AND FUSELAGE, NEEDS NO AIRFIELDS. A SOFT LANDING ON
LAND OR WATER IS POSSIBLE BY MEANS OF AN AIR CUSHION. ITS PAYLOAD
IS UP TO HALF ITS OWN WEIGHT. THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED IN AVIATION
HISTORY.
IT WOULD BE A PITY IF THIS UNIQUE CRAFT, WHICH HAS NO PARALLEL
AND WHICH, I BELIEVE, WOULD BE GLADLY WELCOMED AT ANY FOREIGN
*AIRFIELD, WERE TO REMAIN AN "UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT" IN ITS OWN
COUNTRY. ((VIDEO AIRPORT AND CONFERENCE SCENES, GLOSSY PICTURES OF
*AIRCRAFT AND AIRCRAFT IN FLIGHT, "FLYING SAUCER" FROM VARIOUS
ANGLES IN HANGAR))
