American technologies are used in the production of the Russian fifth-generation fighter Su-57, writes the Defense Blog.
The publication claims that Microsoft's HoloLens glasses are used to assemble the aircraft. The Defense Blog came to this conclusion after analyzing the videos of the “advanced” production of the Su-57 in the shop of the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant named after Yuri Gagarin (KnAAZ) that appeared on the network.
“In the released short video, the company's engineers wear special devices on their heads, similar to Microsoft HoloLens,” the publication notes.
According to The Drive, this technology was first used in the 1990s in Japan for car assembly. The publication reminds that a similar method is used in the production of the fifth generation American fighter F-35 Lightning II.
In July 2019, the American military-industrial corporation Northrop Grumman posted on YouTube a video with the assembly of the central fuselage of the F-35 Lightning II. At the same time, Popular Mechanics noted that the most interesting thing shown in the video is the system of light projectors on the ceiling of the assembly workshop, which indicates to employees the location of fasteners and other elements on the fuselage, and also determines the order of work.
