The main objective of
our company is the development and extensive use of the new hypersonic
technologies that are to become the basis for the creation of aviation and
aerospace engineering of the new generation. Our technologies came into
existence and are progressing on a firm basis of a new conception on the
mastery of sustained hypersonic flight in atmosphere. The author of the concept
named “Ajax”
was chief designer of the Hypersonic Systems Research Institute (HSRI) Vladimir
L. Freigstadt. It includes three (3) main areas:
- active thermal protection
- MGD-control of the air flow
- Plasma-control of the aerodynamic performance of the vehicles
In all these areas our
company holds top-priority positions not only in our country but abroad too. We
actively participate in the international projects and share the results
obtained at the meetings with our foreign counterparts. All works in the field
of hypersonic technology are conducted with the active involvement of the co-operation
of the leading national scientific-and-technical and industrial enterprises.
The distinctive feature
of our technologies is the possibility of their use in many practically useful
areas, even ones not directly related to the hypersonic aerospace engineering.
Methods of active thermal protection can be applied also for cooling any
heat-stressed elements of heat engineering, methods of MGD-generation can
produce energy where the creation of high-velocity flows is possible, methods of
plasma aerodynamics allow reduction or removal of the shock wave when breaking
the hypersonic barrier, etc. We take part in many ecological projects of Saint-
Petersburg.
The HSRI team has
experience in many areas associated with physics, chemistry, aero -dynamics.
The company is headed by doctor of technical science professor Alexander L.
Kuranov, and the research in various areas are supervised by the MAI
academician, doctor of physical-and-mathematical sciences (PMS) Vladimir V.
Kuchinsky, candidate of PMS Alexei V. Korabelnikov. The HSRI is an integral part of a large
Leninetz holding company and it makes use of its powerful
scientific-and-industrial base.
We are confident that
application of the knowledge-based and breakthrough technologies that we
develop will be continuously expanded.
