This month the Tech Up team heads down to Gelendzhik to check out the Ninth International Exhibition of Hydroaviation where the country's latest hybrid vessels were strutting their stuff. Amphibious fire fighters like the Be-200 presented their blaze battling credentials for all to see. The globe's biggest and most powerful helicopter was also on hand to flex its mechanical muscles and show why it's in a weight class all its own. But not to be lost amongst all the macho posturing was one light seaplane out to prove that sometimes less is more. All the while, modern hovercrafts provide a link to the past and some of the country's most eye-popping maritime creations.
