Paralet "Begalet": transport of the future

Begalet, the development of graduate MAI AA Begak - is paralet third generation, a new type of vehicle that can drive, fly and swim, as this transformer. Not only can you fly on it day and night, but glide through the water and snow.

The device is driven by a capsule located behind the engine with a pusher propeller. The air support unit connected to the capsule of the many slings "soft wing". Is able to levitate to a height of 4000 meters, range without refueling is 400 km. The motor is 30 horsepower can reach speeds in the air 160 km / h and on the ground - 80 km / h.

Maneuvering for a run along the ground (or ice) is carried out by means of steering wheels. Actions of the driver-pilot (and in the air and on land) insures kompyuter.V board from 9 to 24 April 2009, a high-latitude tropospheric experiment "North Pole-2009", whose team landed at the station "Barneo". The main purpose of the expedition was to conduct flight tests to increase the mobility of the Arctic stations, glaciological and meteorological research complex. Throughout the duration of the conquerors of the expedition in the Arctic in extreme conditions, a series of tests microplane with soft wing "Begalet - Arctic 1." The device was able to raise from the drifting station "Barneo" to a height of 4721 meters. Thus Alexander Begak set a world record for the pulse of the experiment, ie, lifting the lower stratosphere mikroletatelnogo apparatus. The expedition also included a student of 4th-year student at the Moscow Aviation Institute, Nikita Kuprikov.
