CALCULATION OF LOADS ON THE CONTROLS WITH HELICOPTER MAIN ROTOR OF SINGLE-ROTOR DESIGN by B. L. Artamonov, M. M. Kruchinin

“…On the basis of the hinge moments values data loads on rotorcraft rotating ring, arising at different azimuthal location of the rotating main rotor blades are calculated.The calculations executed on the example of Mi-34 helicopter main rotor have shown that average loads in one revolution in the channel of collective pitch control increase in a control path at flying speed. At the same time loads in the channel of longitudinal control make up to 80 % of loads in the channel of collective pitch control, and in the channel oflateral control - to 40 % that will well be coordinated with the provided data of flight tests.…”

Navigating Fragmented Globalization: Local Content Policies in a New Trade Order by Yudan Whulanza, Eny Kusrini, Akhmad Hidayatno, Teuku Yuri M. Zagloel

“…These developments have accelerated a new wave of industrial policies, guided less by economic efficiency and more by strategic imperatives such as national security, supply chain resilience, and technological sovereignty (Cui and Jiang, 2025; Ju et al., 2024; Whulanza, 2023).This geopolitical shift has diminished the influence of established trade bodies such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), which in the past has become a symbol of the globalization of trade. As countries increasingly favour bilateral agreements and unilateral trade actions over multilateral discussions, tools like tariffs, export controls, and investment restrictions have regained prominence (Dang et al., 2024). …”
