achieved within a maximum take off weight that is only 6.5 per cent above that of the
C-5. Who can argue with 4,500 km range carrying a full 150-tonne payload and
16,500 km maximum ram
TEXT 2. Gross weight had been over-assessed and fuel fraction under assessed
by me experts. This was partly because the savings in empty weight achieved by ex-
tensive use composites, quadruple- Plax fly-by-wire flight control system, a wet
wing, low pressure in the cargo bay and the all-titanium cargo floor had been under-
estimated. The important feature of the design is an advanced wing section, with the
flat top and undercut trailing edge, which is characteristic of the latest Western de-
signs. Such a supercritical, or aft-loaded section makes it possible to design a wing of
greater span for a given weight, while providing more internal volume for fuel.
TEXT 3. Important weight reductions also result from the use of artificial sta-
bility, provided by a four-channel analogue fly-by-wire system. The result is that the
aircraft can be effectively controlled with a relatively small, low-set, fixed incidence
tail plane, further reducing structural weight, drag and system complexity. More
weight is saved by using 5,500 kg of composmaterial. The glass-fibre-reinforced
plastic and carbon-fibre composite airframe components с 1,800 kg lighter than metal
parts would have been. The Soviet pavilion at Paris included monster upper skin
panel from the An-124, formed as one piece from root to tip. The ability produce ex-
trusions on this scale does not exist in the West. Clearly, Pyotr V. Balabuyev and
team at the Antonov 0KB have taught the West's analysts an important lesson.

TEXT 4. The Latin word absolutus means "freed". Therefore, | something that
is absolute is something that is freed from all restraint or additional qualifications. In
about 1787 it was discovered that gases contracted 1/273 of their volume at 0° Centi-
grade for each Centigrade degree they were cooled. The British physicist W. Thom-
son (Kelvin) extended the idea and treated temperature as an expression of the veloc-
ity of movement of molecules in a substance. The colder the substance, the slower the
motion until at a certain temperature there was no motion at all. There could not be
less than no motion, so the temperature —273.18° Centigrade was called absolute
zero, and the temperature scale starting at absolute zero was called the absolute scale,
or the Kelvin scale.
TEXT 5. Aircraft designers have to turn to advanced structural materials to
meet rigid performance goals. The newly developed ATF will use a greater variety of
very advanced materials than any known jet aircraft: Many of the materials that debut
