The Interregional Infrastructure Forum held last week in Samara, in the Lower Volga area, featured a local project that develops a system for laser-enabled aircraft landing in airports, the Skolkovo Foundation website reports. Skolkovo quotes a statement by Mikhail Sverdlov, the chairman of the board at Glissada, the project developer. He explained that at the core of the innovation is their system?s ability to generate ?a certain landing mark? formed by three laser beams, which an airplane crew can see in the air. There?s a laser emitter for the beams placed at the far end of a runway. ?The mark is firmly fixed and provides a good ground reference point. What?s unique about our system is that this mark gives an airplane crew full information about the position of the aircraft on its landing path. There are two coordinates: heading and a glide path. Beacon systems are still used to help a plane reduce its altitude; but our solution dramatically minimizes the cost of the set of equipment an airport has to have to comply with the minimal international standards,? Mr. Sverdlov said. As the project evolves, two prototypes have been created and now operate??for our testing purposes exclusively,? as the Glissada chairman said?at the airports of Samara and Saratov, another major city down the River Volga...
