Abstract:

The regional air traffic was recently considerably reduced especially in the Far North of Russia and nearby areas. The high flight tariff caused by runaway aviation fuel prices, its transportation and storage (seasonal delivery) is one of the reasons. This factor as well as the insufficient solvency of the population is the reason of the inaccessibly of the air traffic for the most people of the hard-to-reach and under-populated areas of Russia. As a result 12-15 million persons (60-67 %) are almost cut off from the country life. It can be a threat to the national interests of Russia. Therefore the transport mobility of the population in these regions is low and is being supported by the subsidies that exceed some billion rubles and its size is being annually increased.

But there are large reserves of the associated oil and nature gas in the regions under review. The products of its processing may be used as aviation fuel. They are purer for the environmental than the aviation kerosene and some of them are even cheaper. The aircrafts working on gas fuel could solve a transport problem of the hard-to-reach northern, Far East and Arctic regions of the Russian Federation.

FGUP Central Aerohydrodynamics Institute (TsAGY), FGUP State Scientific-Research Institute of Civil Aviation, FGUP Central Institute of Aviation Motors (TsIAM), ОАО NIPIgaspererabotka, OOO Interaviagas, the helicopter and aircraft design bureaus and other institutions are engaged in this researches from the end of the last century.

As a result the first-world flight of the experimental Mi-8TG helicopter (one of two motors worked on propane-butane fuel) was performed in our country in 1987. During the trial of Tu-154LL flying laboratory in 1988 one of three motors worked on liquid hydrogen and liquefied natural gas (methane).
