Two new standards in the field of flight dynamics, prepared by Russian experts, have become international and published by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO), the press service of the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology (Rosstandart) reported.

The development of standards ISO 1151-7:2023 “Flight Dynamics – Flight Points and Flight Envelopes” (ISO 1151-7) and ISO 1151-11:2023 “Flight Dynamics – Control System” (ISO 1151-11) within the framework of the subcommittee of the International Technical Committee for Standardisation “Aviation and Space Terminology” was carried out by experts of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “SIC “Institute named after N.E. Zhukovsky”. N.E. Zhukovsky Institute” and the Research Centre for Unmanned Aerial Systems of TsAGI FAU.

The standards of the “Flight Dynamics” series are the result of long-term work of the specialists of TsAGI and the International Organisation for Standardisation. Work on them began in the 1980s. Russian experts proposed to develop these standards to unify concepts and designations in the field of flight dynamics of aircraft. The aim of this work was to achieve mutual understanding between specialists from different countries.

Over the years, the scope of concepts included in the standards has expanded and the requirements for document design have changed. At the same time, new areas have emerged in which it is also necessary to achieve unambiguity in the understanding of terms. In this regard, work was carried out on the preparation of new standards and revision of previously issued standards to clarify their content. Currently, the series of standards “Flight Dynamics” includes already 11 international documents.

According to Anton Shalaev, Head of Rosstandart, the participation of Russian experts in the development of ISO and IEC standards confirms their authority in the international technical community. It also allows them to keep abreast of the world’s cutting-edge developments and helps promote domestic technologies and improve national regulatory documentation.

Thanks to the work of Russian specialists, seven international standards were approved and published in 2023, while five standards based on Russian developments were adopted in 2022. All of them relate to high-tech areas such as rocket and space technology, nuclear industry, railway transport and aircraft construction.
