Biography of MiG

Vladimir Klimov on August 5, the creator of the legendary domestic fighters was born on August 5, was born aircraft designer Artem Mikoyan. The cars created under his leadership went down in the history of not only domestic, but also world aircraft industry. On our famous Migi, more than world records were set, and the name of the design tandem Mikoyan and Gurevich became the most famous Russian aircraft machine in the world.

For several decades, the design bureau of Mikoyan has provided the Air Force of the Soviet Union with high -quality competitive machines. Many aircraft of A. Mikoyan were the first in their classes and are still used in many countries. Anushavan-Artem, the future aircraft manufacturer was born in the Mountain Armenian village in the family of Plotnik Ovanes Mikoyan.

At birth, he was called Anushawan, and his name and patronymic "Russell" much later. In a rural school, Mikoyan studied only two classes, after which he was sent to relatives in Tiflis in the year, where he was able to continue his studies. In the year, with the assistance of the older brother Anastas, who by that time had already become a prominent party figure, Artem Mikoyan moves to Rostov-on-Don.

Here in the afternoon he works as a turner at the factory, and in the evening he continues to study at the factory school. In the year, Mikoyan Jr. moves to Moscow, sets up at the Dynamo factory and, on the recommendation of an older brother, lives with Ekaterina Shaumyan, the widow of one of the 26 Baku commissars. In the same year, Mikoyan enters the party.

Having served in the army, Artem Mikoyan becomes the secretary of the Party Committee of the Moscow Plant "Compressor". In the year, the Komsomol organization takes patronage over the air fleet, and the best Komsomol members receive ordering for training. So Artem Mikoyan enters the distribution of studying at the N. Air Force Academy, he makes up for a lack of knowledge in preparatory courses and becomes a listener of the academy.

In the year, in practice, at the design bureau in Kharkov, together with other students, Mikoyan is developing an easy “October” aircraft. In the year, Mikoyan ends the academy with the rank of a military engineer-mechanical. Here he controls the serial production of the fighter and designer N. Polikarpov and manifests himself as an excellent specialist. In December, the enterprise forms the experimental design department, which includes the best designers of the plant.

The head of the department is appointed Artem Mikoyan, and his deputy Mikhail Gurevich is appointed. The fighter created in the extremely short time was not deprived of the shortcomings. The aircraft showed itself perfectly at high altitudes and found widely used in air defense aviation, but at small and medium heights where the main battles were fought, it was ineffective and sufficiently losses.

Nevertheless, it was on the MiG-3 that the pilot-AS Alexander Pokryshkin began its victorious path. The planes of Mikoyan and Gurevich from the first days of the war participated in battles with enemies. In the first two years of the war, more than MiG fighters were built. During the war years, the Mikoyan team created several experimental models of equipment, but they did not go to serial production.

However, these works helped the design bureaus to maintain their potential in order to start the development of jet aircraft after the war, which put forward the design bureau of Mikoyan to world aircraft industry leaders.

The beginning of the reactive era at the end of the war Mikoyan and his colleagues enter the race of the design bureau for the championship in the creation of a reactive aircraft. In the development of the Mikoyanovsky Design Bureau, there was originally a fighter with two engines under the wing, which was later processed in and with a power plant in the fuselage.

As a result, it was the second option that went to a series called a moment on the same day to the sky, the fighter of the KB Yakovlev Yak, which was also produced in serial. The MiG-9 fighter Work on the jet aircraft was exhausting. Artem Ivanovich receives a heart attack, but soon returns to the Design Bureau. In the year, A. Mikoyan, along with the designer of aircraft engine V.

Klimov, goes to England for the purchase of modern engines. By the end of the year, according to the plan of the Government of the Design Bureau, Mikoyan was supposed to create a new front -line fighter. A moment has become the most massive jet aircraft in the world. In total, more than 17 thousand cars were produced, which were in service with 40 countries. It was the unambiguous success of the designer Mikoyan and his colleagues.

The next KB fighter was a moment, which was produced in series from a year and could reach the speed of sound. The first supersonic serial aircraft was a moment, but one of the most famous models of Mikoyan and Gurevich was the third -generation of the third generation of a moment, which was produced for about 30 consecutive years in the Soviet Union. The plane was also produced under a license in Czechoslovakia, India and China, where its production stopped only in the year.

The speed of a moment is twice the speed of sound. On this plane, 24 world records were installed. A moment of a moment, the first Soviet plane with a wing in flight, and a moment of which the speed of which was three times higher than the speed of sound became the last works of Mikoyan. In the year, Artem Ivanovich died at the age of 65.In the year, the OKB was awarded his name.

Successful work and achievements of the designer were appreciated by the state. Colonel General of the Engineering and Technical Service, Artem Mikoyan, was twice awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor, awarded six orders of Lenin, marked by six Stalinist and one Lenin Prize. The son of A. Mikoyan Ovanes continued the dynasty and became an aircraft designer.
