TsAGI’s technologies to improve flight safety
Approximately 30 per cent of aviation accidents all over the world are associated with the heavy landing and runway excursion, when an aircraft veers off or overruns the runway surface during either take-off or landing. It can result in loss of life, damage of aircraft and ground infrastructure, disrupt the airport performance.
