Research & Technological Center VZLYOT, Inc., (RTC VZLYOT) was established in Moscow, 1991 as one of the first Independent Science Center. A Branch the RTC VZLYOT is registered in New York, 1994. Main office of the company base in Montreal (Canada).)

Directions of activity of the RTC VZLYOT

Scientific researches and development on the basis of new high technology of the concepts of a design of the ecologically clean kinds of a high-speed transport and their power sources with a large economic efficiency.

The main objects of researches the RTC VZLYOT are:

• Vertical take-off and landing aircrafts (VTOL) with electrical power plants (the Electrolyots) and the vortical lift-propellent systems (the Vihrelyots);
• Re-usable Aerospace Transport Modules making vertical take-off and landing with a hull in a level position and restored energy to the propulsion system at a controlled descent;
• High-Speed Ground Transport (HSGT) with the aerodynamic suspension for urban and long-distance transportation;
• Electromobiles and other personal transport means with non-chemical power sources;
• Ecologically clean and highly economical electrical power plants for all kinds of high-speed transport means and ground electrical stations;
• The household products based on high technology.

Understanding that on the basis of conventional engineering solutions practically is impossible to develop any new device cardinal improving a nowadays situation, attempt of conceptual study of problems of further development of a power, air and aerospace engineering was made because the arising here stagnation is connected, first of all, to absence of original engineering solutions and new scientific ideas.

IGOR N. KOLPAKTCHIEV, the General Director of the RTC VZLYOT.
Education:
He graduated from the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI) in Aircraft and Helicopter Engineering (1962)), post-graduated on a specialty an Aerodynamic of the helicopter (1967), doctor of technical sciences. He has completed 142 scientific works, 2 monographs and 36 inventions.

Work experience:

• He worked in the Central Aero-Hydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI) as designer of the Helicopter Laboratory (1963), as engineer-researcher of the Department of Prospective of Development of the Vertical Take-off and Landing Transport Planes (1971), as Chief of a Section of the Vertical Take-off and Landing Commercial Planes and Helicopters of the State Research Institute of the Civil Aviation (GosNII GA) (1976), as Scientific secretary and Chief of the Problem Laboratory of a High-speed Ground and Container-in-Pipeline Passenger Transport of the State Research Institute of the Container-in-Pipeline Systems (VNIIPITransprogress) (1980).
• Leading Expert of the Aeroflot Soviet Airlines of the Helicopters and Aircraft of Vertical and Short Take-off (1971-1976). Under his scientific leadership a number of technical requirements for prospective civilian airplanes and helicopters was developed. Some of the aircrafts building of his team’s requirements earned the Lenin Prize, Soviet highest award for industrial achievement. Expert of Advice of Economic Mutual Aid (SEV) on a Civil Aircrafts.
• Since 1990 the General Director of the VZLYOT, Inc., Research and Technological Center. (Moscow – New-York). Participated in the First Russian-American exhibition “Advanced Technologies from Russia”, Washington, DC, May 1994.

The logo of the RTC VZLYOT

Logo of the RTC VZLYOT – “Konyok-gorbunok” allegorically reflects main ideas of the high-speed ecological clean transport which, as well as majority of fantastic look aheads, becoming a reality in the modern world will be inevitably create in visible future.

“Vzlyot”» means “take-off” in Russian. We have chosen as our logo the Konyok-gorbunok, a little magic horse from Russian folklore, well-known for bringing miracles to life. As many ideas which seem only fantasies soon become reality through modern technology, we identify it with the high-speed ecologically clean transport.

The parallels can be carried further: the Konyok-gorbunok cuts the spark of new ideas, which is transformed to a generalized image of the vertical take-off and landing aircraft (VTOL). He appears from nowhere upon a certain whistle, which we can liken to remote control and disappears before another whistle. He travels “through mountains, seas and woods”, as do our proposed transport vehicles. His head is turned back, reminding us that many past technical advances, frequently non-realized or undeserved forgotten, can give surprising results when viewed in a new light. And last, the logo is surrounded by a closed shell, meaning that the speed transport is not only in free flight, but also with ordered trajectorny of motion.

That’s the “Konyok-gorbunok” has become the basis of the logo the RTC VZLYOT, reflecting main directions of its activities – searching of new engineering solutions of ecologically clean high-speed transport and power devices with high economic efficiency.
