Tupolev Biography Presentation

Display network content display of network content Andrei Nikolayevich Tupolev's birthday today we will talk about how a village boy has become a legendary aircraft designer: the story of Andrei Tupolev based on the materials Andrei Tupolev: biography and facts from the life of the designer of Technsider. His father Nikolai Ivanovich Tupolev was a notary in the district court of the Tver region.

His mother Anna Vasilievna Lisitsyna was a housewife. She spoke freely in French and German. After the end of the Tver gymnasium, Tupolev was accepted in two Moscow universities at the same time. One of them was the institute of connecting lines. But he preferred to study at the leading Technical University of the Russian Empire of that time - the Imperial Moscow Technical School, which is now known as the Moscow State Technical University named after Bauman MSTU named after Young Andrei Tupolev from an early age showed great interest in aviation.

While studying at the university in the year, he began to attend an air swimming circle under the leadership of Nikolai Zhukovsky, a well-known Russian scientist and founding father of modern aero and hydrodynamics. The young engineer Tupolev designed his first glider and made his first flight of the year on it. In the year, his successful scientific classes were interrupted.

He actively participated in anti -government riots and distributed illegal brochures. Tupolev was expelled from the university. He left Moscow to return to his native village in the Tver region, and stayed there under the supervision of the police. Shortly before the outbreak of World War I, he was accepted back to the university and continued his studies. The first Tupolev aircraft in the years Andrei Tupolev, together with Nikolai Zhukovsky, worked on the development of aerodynamic pipes.

After graduating from the university with honors of the year, the young Tupolev, along with Professor Zhukovsky, founded the TsAGI Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute. Tupolev was the head of the aviation department. One of the main innovations brought by Tupolev to Soviet aircraft construction was the replacement of wooden parts of aircraft with duralumin.

This upset the woodworking industry. But Tupolev was able to beat lobbyists and insisted on using duralumin in aircraft construction. Having built these aircraft using duralumin, Tupolev determined the future development of the aviation industry. For many years, the design approach of Tupolev determined the development trends of civil and military heavy aviation. The aircraft developed in TsAGI at that time had outstanding flight characteristics and flight range.

One of the symbols of that time was the Tupolev ANT, also known as Maxim Gorky-an 8-motor plane, the largest in the X years. He could overcome huge distances. It was also known as OKB with the prefix TU. More different projects were implemented here. More of them were embodied in reality. About 70 were in serial production. Among them were world -famous civilian and military aircraft, such as the Tu -95, TU and TU, more than 78 world records were installed on these aircraft.

The scientific interests of Andrei Tupolev were not limited to the construction of aircraft. He showed great interest in related scientific fields. He could always foresee the future development of aviation and always introduced the most advanced innovations in the design of aircraft. His multilateral approach to the tasks facing his OKB was noticed and highly appreciated by the People's Commissar of Soviet Heavy Industry.

Andrei Tupolev was appointed chief engineer of Soviet aircraft industry. He began numerous projects in the experimental areas of aviation. Tupolev also tried to modernize construction plants using the most innovative Western technologies. These actions gave an unprecedented impetus of Soviet aviation, emphasized by the slogan "to catch up and surpass the Western aviation industry." In the year, the name of Tupolev was named the Kazan Aviation Institute of the Kazan National Research Technical University named after We invite you to the exhibition dedicated to A.

Tupolev in the CHD of K. Marx, 10, the presentation of the exhibition with books about A. Tupolev and his work can be found in the scientific and technical library named after Marx, 10, 3rd floor.
