Russian engineers have developed a range of equipment to service airports, such as sweeping, blowing, irrigation and plow brushing machines with solid reagent delivery.
The condition of the runways is important for the safety and comfort of air travel. Special equipment that maintains its condition requires maintenance, repair and spare parts, and there are problems within the scope of sanctions.
90% of the equipment developed by Russian experts consists of Russian components. The remaining share of imported components falls on the hydraulic system and control system.
Also, the scientists reduced the cost of the kit due to the unification of the chassis for the irrigation and plow-brush machines. It was not possible to do this for the sweeper and blower – it has an additional power plant and a larger set of attachments that cannot be placed on the basic chassis, says Dmitry Nikitin, project manager and deputy director of the Automotive Center. and Moscow Automobile and Road Technical University Road Engineering.
