History
[edit]From 1925 and up to the 1930s, TsAGI developed and hostedTupolev's AGOS (Aviatziya, Gidroaviatziya i Opytnoye Stroitelstvo,the "Aviation, Hydroaviation, and Experimental Construction" ), the first aircraft design bureau in Soviet Union, and at the time the main one.[1]In 1930, two other major aircraft design bureaus in the country were theIlyushin's TsKB (Tsentralnoye Konstruksionnoye Byuromeans "Central Design Bureau" ) and an independent, short-livedKalinin's team inKharkiv.[1]
In 1935 TsAGI was partly relocated to the formerdachasettlementOtdykh(literally, "Relaxation" ) converted to the newurban-type settlementStakhanovo.It was named afterAlexey Stakhanov,a famous Soviet miner. On April 23, 1947, the settlement was granted town status and renamed toZhukovsky.The Moscow branch of the institute is knownMoscow complex of TsAGI.In 1965 in Zhukovsky aDepartment of Aeromechanics and Flight Engineering of MIPTwas established with support of TsAGI's research and knowledge base to educate specialists for aerospace industry.
Among TsAGI's developments are the participation in the rocketEnergiaand theSpace Shuttle Buranprojects.
