The beginning of the twentieth century was marked by the rapid development of aviation science and technology. It was during this period that the foundations of the theory of flight of vehicles heavier than air were laid, the first successful models of aircraft and engines for them were created, the industry mastered the production of aircraft and the new technological processes associated with it.
This conditioned the need for fundamentally new personnel of engineers for new branches of science and technology. The initiator of the creation of scientific and educational centers for conducting the necessary research and training of scientific and engineering personnel in the interests of the industry was an outstanding Russian scientist, the founder of aerohydrodynamics, Professor Nikolai Yegorovich Zhukovsky (see the section “From the history of higher aviation education in Russia”).
After the death of N. E. Zhukovsky, his student, an outstanding scientist and teacher Boris Nikolaevich Yuryev (1889-1957), became the successor of his activities in the training of aviation engineers. In 1925, on the initiative of B.N. Yuryev, an aeromechanical department was organized at the mechanical faculty of the Moscow Higher Technical School, which was transformed in 1929 into an aeromechanical faculty, where many students of N.E. Zhukovsky taught.
At the end of the 1920s, in connection with the wide development of works on industrialization National economy country and, in particular, the creation of domestic aviation, the question arose of the need for a significant expansion of the training of engineering personnel. In this regard, on March 20, 1930, it was decided to divide the Moscow Higher Technical School into five specialized engineering universities, among which was the Higher Aeromechanical School (VAMU).
VAMU was organized as part of three departments: aircraft building, engine building and aeronautics. As of April 1930 (order No. 15 of April 17), the student body included 404 people, most of whom were former students of the aeromechanical faculty of the Moscow Higher Technical School, and the rest consisted of students of the aircraft engine specialty of the Lomonosov Moscow Mechanical Institute transferred to VAMU (only there were 72 in the first year). The distribution of students by course was as follows: 1st year - 159 students, 2nd - 111, 3rd - 65 and 4th - 69.
In the spring of 1930, the first enrollment of students for the first year took place (order No. 31 of May 8). A total of 161 people were accepted (60 people for the aircraft building department, 60 for the engine building department and 41 for the aeronautical department). In August, the second enrollment of students for the first year of VAMU took place. 185 people were accepted: 70 people for the aircraft building department, 68 for the engine building department and 47 for aeronautics (order No. 87 of August 20).
By the beginning of the 1930/31 academic year, students of the aviation department of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute - 120 people (order No. 85 of August 13) - and students of the Tomsk Technological Institute - 19 people (order No. 95 of September 2 and No. 101 of September 18) were transferred to VAMU .
The first base where VAMU was located and the educational process was launched was the premises on Olkhovskaya Street in Moscow, where the Chlorodont concession factory and lampshade production were previously located. On these squares, only a few classrooms and a small library (1190 volumes) were equipped. The number of students at that moment was about 450 people. Classes were held in two or even three shifts. The lack of training and production facilities made it necessary to find new forms of the educational process. The number of hours for industrial practice increased sharply with a partial transfer of training sessions to production. On all courses training sessions 50 days spent at the school ( theoretical courses) and 50 days - at various factories (manufacturing practice).
As part of MAI, as well as in VAMU, there were three departments: aircraft building, engine building and aeronautics. On May 10, 1931, the institute switched to a faculty system for organizing the educational process.
In the autumn of 1930, the institute was provided with the building of the former gymnasium on 5th Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street (now the Burdenko Institute of Neurosurgery is located there), which also did not allow the creation of the necessary training, production and laboratory facilities, since already in September 1930 in The institute had 850 students. The basis of the teaching staff of the Institute were employees of TsAGI and Moscow Higher Technical School: B.N. Yuryev, V.P. Vetchinkin, G.Kh. Sabinin, K.A. Ushakov, G.N. Musinyants, N.S. M. Zemsky, A. N. Zhuravchenko, A. K. Martynov, A. M. Cheremukhin, B. S. Stechkin, N. I. Vorogushin and others. In addition, teachers of aviation specialties from other universities were invited to work. The scientific potential of TsAGI and the experience of one of the most advanced technical schools with a pronounced design direction, inherent in MVTU, was perceived and further developed by the teaching staff of the MAI.
In the autumn of 1930, the first significant graduation of aviation engineers in the history of the MAI took place (there were separate graduations earlier), some of which were left at the MAI in order to replenish the teaching staff. Among them are the future well-known professors and associate professors of the Institute D. I. Abugov, L. B. Evangulov, G. S. Skubachevsky, I. I. Trapezin, T. A. Grumondz, G. N. Chilikidi and others.
Since the same year, the institute's postgraduate studies have been leading their history. By order of April 14, 1930, well-known scientists and designers B. M. Izakson, I. P. Bratukhin, A. Yu. Romashevsky and others were enrolled in graduate school.
In the order for the institute dated May 7, 1930, the names of the first professors and teachers in the cycles of disciplines were named, which became the basis of the scientific and pedagogical schools of the institute:
- physical and mathematical - professors A.I. Nekrasov and V.N. Veniaminov, Associate Professor I. I. Vasiliev;
- applied mechanics- Professor E.N. Tikhomirov, teachers V.P. Novitsky, S.K. Ruzhentsev and B.M. Zemsky;
- aircraft engineering - professors B.N. Yuryev, V.P. Vetchinkin and A.N. Zhuravchenko, teacher A. M. Cheremukhin;
- engine building - professor B. S. Stechkin, associate professor N. I. Vorogushin;
- aeronautics - Professor N. V. Fomin, teacher Rabinovich.
During 1930-1931, the structure of the institute was being formed. The aeronautical faculty was renamed into the airship building faculty. There was a resubordination of the departments, many of which were assigned to the faculties in accordance with the subject matter.
The formation of departments of the institute continued. By order of October 28, 1931, the heads of the departments of the aircraft building faculty were appointed:
- general technology and aviation materials science - NV Geveling;
- organization of production - K. S. Prozorov;
- experimental aerodynamics and propellers - B. N. Yuryev;
- structural mechanics - A. M. Cheremukhin;
- aircraft structures and parts - S. I. Zonshine;
- hydraulics - A. I. Nekrasov;
- higher mathematics - V. N. Veniaminov;
- theoretical mechanics- N. S. Arzhanikov;
- resistance of materials - V. V. Podolsky;
- aerodynamic calculation and flight dynamics - A. N. Zhuravchenko.
From the first years of study, students of the Aircraft Faculty were required to undergo flight practice. The duties of students in flight practice included practical flights (up to 50 hours) with the performance of the duties of a pilot under the supervision of an instructor pilot, full ground handling of aircraft, including repairs in the field.
Lack of proper educational and laboratory facilities, textbooks and teaching aids led to the need to apply, at least temporarily, non-traditional forms of organization of the educational process for higher education - the brigade-laboratory method, in which groups were divided into teams of 4-6 people for collective training with brigade control over its quality. The brigades were forced to work in apartments, dormitories and even in parks. The disadvantages of this method of teaching were so obvious that already from the 1932 academic year, the institute switched to traditional forms and teaching methods with individual and differentiated assessment of knowledge. By order of the institute dated August 19, 1931, a differentiated assessment of student performance was introduced: “unsatisfactory”, “satisfactory”, “very satisfactory”, “good”. Due to the weak pre-university training, some of the students are transferred to the workers' faculty, in order to prepare for admission to the institute. Groups for additional study of mathematics and physics are created at the institute itself.
A large role in improving the quality of training of aviation engineers was played by the traditional for the MAI, the widespread involvement of leading specialists from industry in the educational process. For example, the management of diploma design was largely carried out by leading workers in the aviation industry, among whom were such outstanding leaders of aviation design teams as S. V. Ilyushin, V. F. Bolkhovitinov, N. N. Polikarpov, A. N. Tupolev.
In connection with the rapid growth in the need for aviation specialists with higher education, classes began in the evening aviation institute in 1931, branches of evening education were created directly at aviation factories.
Since October 1931, the All-Union Aviation Association (order by MAI No. 180 of October 3) has established the following profiles for graduate engineers:
- land aircraft design engineer;
- mechanical engineer for the installation and assembly of aircraft;
- process engineer for cold cutting and pressure working;
- process engineer for hot processing of non-ferrous metals;
- aircraft armament and equipment design engineer;
- aircraft engine design engineer;
- aircraft engine manufacturing engineer.
In 1930-1931, public organizations of the institute were created and actively assisted the administration: party, Komsomol and trade union. On January 26, 1931, the first issue of the institute's newspaper Propeller was published.
Already during this period, it became obvious that it was impossible to properly organize the educational process on the available areas, to equip it with the necessary laboratory and production facilities. Therefore, the leadership of the institute, with the active support of public organizations, took measures to select a site for the complex construction of the institute. Such a site was found at the fork of the Leningrad and Volokolamsk highways. With the support of the head of the Main Directorate of the Aviation Industry, P. I. Baranov, a special commission was created to organize and build the institute. In 1931, under the Department of Capital Construction of the MAI, several design bureaus were organized, made up mainly of teachers, employees and students of the institute. Bureau for the design of the aerodynamic laboratory was headed by B.N. Yuryev, the engine building - by Professor A.V. Kvasnikov, the technological building and laboratory of aviation materials - by N.V. Geveling, electrical equipment projects for all laboratories and other departments of the institute, as well as their full power supply from Mosenergo's networks were developed under the leadership of S. A. Sinitsyn.
Despite the fact that the general construction plan was repeatedly specified, construction began in the summer of 1931, and in the spring of 1933 the main educational building (now building No. 3) was put into operation. Simultaneously with the construction of the main academic building, the construction of two student dormitories and a residential building for the teaching staff began. MAI moved to a new territory in the summer of 1933, in the midst of construction work. Employees and students of the Institute actively involved in the construction and creation of the necessary educational and laboratory facilities. It was then that laboratories, classrooms and auditoriums equipped at the modern level for that period appeared at the institute, which were successfully used until the end of the 50s.
On the fifth anniversary of its founding, the Institute was named after the People's Commissar of Heavy Industry Sergo Ordzhonikidze by decree of the Presidium of the USSR Central Executive Committee.
The creation of a modern material and technical base contributed to the rapid progress in all areas of the Institute's activities in the second half of the 1930s.
The structure of the institute has been continuously improved in accordance with the new requirements of the aviation industry for graduates of the MAI. The wide deployment of the aviation industry in those years required the release of specialists in the field of planning and organization of production. In this regard, in 1933, the Faculty of Engineering and Economics was created at the MAI, which ensured the release of qualified specialists in the field of economics and the organization of the aviation industry.
The new aviation equipment was equipped with various combat installations, navigation and radio equipment. In order to provide the aviation industry with specialists of this profile, in 1935 the Faculty of Aircraft Armament was created at the MAI.
Over time, academic disciplines appeared at this faculty, which, reflecting the achievements of science and technology, on the one hand, and responding to the needs of the industry, on the other, laid the foundation for the creation of new departments and faculties. In particular, in September 1937 (order of the MAI No. 695 dated September 10), the Departments of Radio Engineering and Aviation Radio Equipment and Air Navigation and Air Navigation Equipment were formed at the Faculty of Aircraft Armament.
In 1940, the Faculty of Instrument Engineering and Aviation Equipment was separated from this faculty, and the rest of it focused on training engineers in the field of aircraft weapons.
By the tenth anniversary, MAI included 5 faculties, 38 departments, 22 laboratories, 24 classrooms, training and production workshops and a flight training squad.
Even before the start of the Great Patriotic War, MAI trained 3203 aviation engineers of various profiles for aircraft factories, design bureaus and research institutes, thereby creating a personnel base for the wide development of the aviation industry in the pre-war and war years.
Simultaneously with the training of personnel, MAI scientists during this period carried out a number of scientific and design developments that left a noticeable mark on the history of the domestic aircraft industry.
In 1933, an aircraft design bureau was organized at the MAI, which until 1936 was headed by the talented aircraft designer D. P. Grigorovich, and then by P. D. Grushin, who later became a well-known creator of rocket technology. This design bureau created several original types of aircraft, in particular, the all-welded (stainless steel) aircraft "Stal - MAI", the light-engine aircraft of the tandem aerodynamic configuration "Oktyabrenok", an aircraft entirely made of EMAI magnesium alloys.
In 1939, at the engine-building faculty, under the guidance of Professor G.S. Skubachevsky, OKB-2 was organized to create a powerful M-250 piston engine.
In the same year, under the leadership of B.N. Yuriev and I.P. Bratukhin, the design bureau began to work, which carried out a large cycle of theoretical and experimental work on the design of the first Soviet helicopters.
Thus, by 1940 MAI had developed as a leading scientific and educational center for the training of general specialists for aviation science and industry.
A new stage in the life of the institute is associated with the Great Patriotic War. In the very first days of the war, the leadership and public organizations of the institute took steps to provide practical assistance to the front. A large group of volunteers - teachers and employees of the MAI went to the front as part of the 18th division of the people's militia of the Leningrad region, many employees of the institute were seconded to aviation industry enterprises. By the autumn of 1941, the Government decided to evacuate the institute to Alma-Ata. To prepare and ensure the work of the institute at a new location, a group of leading teachers was sent to Alma-Ata, among whom were N. S. Arzhanikov, G. N. Sveshnikov, E. N. Tikhomirov, S. N. Kozhevnikov, V. F. Yurgens and others.
The evacuation began on October 14, 1941. All equipment of departments, laboratories, classrooms and production units was evacuated to Alma-Ata in an unusually short time. Already on October 31, the last echelon left, the evacuation of the institute was over. A small group of employees who provide special work remained at the institute.
The Institute was located in 28 most diverse, usually unsuitable, premises. Even more difficult was the case with the premises for students and teachers. Despite all the difficulties, immediately upon the arrival of the echelons in Alma-Ata, teachers, staff and students began to receive, transport and install incoming equipment, organize an educational, laboratory and production base, establish an educational process, research and production activities. A month after the start of the evacuation, the MAI resumed its activities in Alma-Ata.
The teaching staff of the institute arrived in Alma-Ata in the amount of 134 people, the relocated student contingent mainly consisted of senior students, junior courses were understaffed at the expense of students from other institutes.
In exceptionally difficult conditions - the tightness of the premises and their dispersion around the city, the lack of classrooms and furniture - the educational process was getting better. Lectures, laboratory and practical classes, course and diploma design were organized. In order to increase the output of aviation engineers, which are urgently needed by the country in the conditions of war, a curriculum was developed with a reduced training period (3.5 years instead of 5.5 years).
In addition to providing industrial training for students, training and production workshops quickly launched the production of defense products. The research activities of the institute were not interrupted either, which during this period was mainly focused on solving practical problems in the interests of the aviation industry.
After the defeat of the Germans near Moscow, the issue of resuming the activities of the institute in Moscow was raised, and already on February 2, 1942, the educational process began in the Moscow premises of the institute. The student body was formed from the part of the MAI and MATI students who remained in Moscow, as well as former students who returned from the front. Despite the actual existence of the institute in two territories thousands of kilometers distant from each other, their activities were organically linked. Already in June 1942, Professor N. V. Inozemtsev, who returned from Alma-Ata, was appointed deputy director of the MAI, and a large group of teachers soon returned to Moscow.
Thus, in the years before the Great Patriotic War, and during the war, the MAI team worked hard and hard. The main result of this work was the training of several thousand specialists for the aviation industry, who played a big role in securing the Victory.
These merits of the MAI team were marked by a high government award - the Order of Lenin. In addition, 119 teachers, staff and students of the institute were awarded orders and medals.
The post-war period in the development of the MAI is associated with truly revolutionary changes that have taken place in aviation technology. Airplanes became mostly jet-powered, their flight speeds came close to the speed of sound, and then surpassed it. The whole complex of aircraft equipment has become significantly more complicated, they have been saturated with electrical, radio, instrumentation and automatic equipment, new types of missile weapons. A practical stage in the development of helicopter construction has begun. From individual experimental developments, design teams both in our country and abroad have moved on to the creation of serial helicopters, which have found wide application in practice. New branches of aviation science and industry were born, the purpose of which was the creation of rocket technology for various purposes.
In connection with the new demands of aviation science and technology, from the very first post-war years, the MAI took a course towards creating conditions for training personnel of a new profile. It was during this period that lecture courses and the corresponding experimental facilities on jet and rocket engines, aerodynamics of supersonic speeds, strength calculation of new types of structures (including taking into account aerodynamic heating), new types of structural materials and their processing technology, etc.
Taking into account the new requirements, a number of new departments and faculties were created. In 1946, the Faculty of Radio Engineering began its activities, new specialties appeared in aircraft control systems, automatic control theory, and computer technology. In the early 1950s, departments for the design and construction of rockets of various types were created. To strengthen ties with industry, basic departments and branches of departments appear at enterprises and design organizations.
Significant changes have also taken place in the structure curricula and programs that provided for the strengthening of training in the physical and mathematical sciences, the widespread use of electronic computers in all technical subjects, the strengthening of design and technological training, training in the elements of computer-aided design and construction, and the expansion of independence in the student's educational work. Science organically entered the educational process, including with the wide involvement of students.
This phase resulted in the transformation aviation institute, previously focused mainly on aircraft and partially helicopter technology, into an aviation polytechnic university that provides training for a wide range of scientific and design organizations in the aviation and rocket and space industries.
By the middle of the 1960s, it became obvious that the existing material and technical base of the institute, created mainly in the 1930s, no longer provides for the prospective development of the institute, the newly created areas of training specialists and the significantly increased volume of research work. At the initiative of the institute's management and, above all, as a result of the active actions of the rector of the institute, I. F. Obraztsov, in 1968 the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR signed a decree on the construction of 90 thousand square meters of training and production space with the involvement of funds from nine interested ministries. By the end of 1972, a general construction plan was approved, the implementation of which began in stages even before its full adoption. By 1975, in accordance with this plan, a laboratory building for the aircraft building faculty was put into operation, the laying of the main educational building with a usable area of 42,000 square meters took place. During the period from 1973 to 1980, the following were built and put into operation: a multi-storey hostel for students and graduate students, the Palace of Culture, a residential building for teachers, a dormitory building in the Alushta sports and recreation camp, a new dining room for 1000 seats. In 1979, the construction of a new educational building began (now it is building No. 24). A great contribution to the practical implementation of the program for the construction of the "big MAI" was made by the rector of the MAI, I. T. Belyakov.
By its fiftieth anniversary (1980), MAI had 18 day and evening faculties, 80 departments and trained mechanical engineers for all types of aircraft and engines for them, mechanical engineers for control systems and radio systems, mathematical engineers, system engineers, economists, i.e. in all specialties of aviation and rocket and space technology.
For fifty years of its work MAI has produced about 80 thousand aircraft engineers. By that time, among the graduates of the institute there were more than 20 general and chief designers, 182 laureates of State Prizes, and ten cosmonauts of the USSR. In 1980, about 27,000 students studied at the institute on a full-time basis, and about the same number - in the evening departments.
Among the teaching staff in 1980 there were five academicians and two corresponding members of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, 193 doctors and professors, including 153 full-time, 890 candidates of science and associate professors. 18 teachers had the title of "Honored Worker of Science and Technology of the RSFSR", 20 teachers were awarded the State Prizes of the USSR. Textbooks and scientific works, created by MAI scientists, are known not only in our country, but also abroad.
For a great contribution to the training of specialists, in the year of its fiftieth anniversary, the Institute was awarded the Order of the October Revolution.
The eighties of the last century in the life of the institute were associated with the task of turning the MAI into a technical university, which was consistently solved by the team. This idea was first expressed in the early 1970s by the rector of that period, I.F. Obraztsov, and was consistently implemented by his successors, I.T. Belyakov, Yu.A. Ryzhov, and A.M. Matveenko. In 1993, the Institute was given a new name: Moscow State Aviation Institute (Technical University). The traditional abbreviation - MAI - has been retained.
At all stages of the activity of the MAI (1930-1990), a large organizational and mobilizing work aimed at fulfilling the tasks assigned to the institute was carried out by the party organization of the institute. Questions of strategy and tactics for the development of the institute, training, selection and placement of teaching and leading personnel, education of student youth, strict fulfillment by the communists of their duties (from an ordinary worker to the rector) - all this and much more was constantly in the field of view of the party organization. It included up to 2,500 communists, three quarters of professors and doctors of sciences were members of the party. The party organization was a school for the education of cadres. Seven first secretaries of the RK CPSU of Moscow, two secretaries of the Moscow City Committee of the CPSU, the first secretary of the Yaroslavl OK of the CPSU, the first secretary of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks of Belarus, the secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU (E.K. Ligachev), a large number of employees of the state apparatus, including deputy ministers and ministers of the Russian Federation and the USSR, senior diplomatic workers, six heads of other universities, more than a hundred heads of research, design and production organizations in the aviation and rocket and space industries (see the section "MAI Graduates").
It is difficult to overestimate the great positive role played by thousands of members of the Komsomol organization of the Institute in the work with student youth. In addition to the daily work associated with the education of students and the successful organization of the educational process, the Komsomol of the institute was the initiator of many socially useful deeds and undertakings: participation in harvesting in the virgin lands and in the Moscow region, organizing construction teams at the most significant construction sites of the national economy, together with the SNTO support research work of students, patronage of orphanages and schools, and much more. The best traditions of the Komsomol are currently being continued by the MAI Youth Union.
Significant work aimed at protecting the legal rights and meeting the socio-cultural needs of students and employees of the MAI has been and is being carried out by trade union organizations of students and the permanent staff of the institute.
The institute organization of the All-Union Society of Inventors and Rationalizers, which worked together with the patent department of the institute, contributed to the development of the inventive movement at the institute and the dissemination of knowledge in the field of invention law.
The undoubted recognition of the leading importance of the MAI in promoting scientific and technical knowledge in the country was the appointment of Academician I. I. Artobolevsky (head of the Department of Theory of Mechanisms and Machines of the MAI) as chairman of the All-Union Society "Knowledge", and the chairman of a similar society of the RSFSR - academician I. F. Obraztsov (Head of the Department of Strength of the Moscow Aviation Institute), who headed these societies for many years.
A great contribution to attracting young people to sports and its military-technical types was made by the institute's sports club and the DOSAAF MAI organization. Under their leadership and with the constant support of the administration, the party committee, the trade union organization, many generations of outstanding athletes, champions of the Olympic Games, the world, Europe, the USSR and Russia were brought up at the MAI, mass sports also developed rapidly.
MAI constantly carried out work on the design and construction of aircraft (LA) of various types and engines for them. Since 1930, more than 200 types of aircraft and aircraft engines have been designed at the MAI, including: 26 aircraft, 25 rotary-wing aircraft, 24 gliders, 30 hang gliders and motor hang gliders, 29 remotely piloted aircraft, 12 artificial satellites Earth and space aircraft, 6 lighter-than-air vehicles (airships, balloons, etc.), 11 aircraft with flapping wings, 10 underwater research vehicles, 44 aircraft engines.
The Kvant light aerobatic aircraft designed at the student design bureau and built at the EPM MAI set five world records (70s - 80s).
In the mid-1980s, the Design Bureau of Experimental Aircraft Building developed the MAI-89 ultralight aircraft of the original design, which set a world climb rate record to a height of 3000 meters, which is 30 percent higher than the previous record for this type of aircraft. The MAI-89 aircraft was presented at several international air shows, received certificates in a number of countries and enjoys commercial success. A significant number of these aircraft have been sold abroad.
In 1998, the Aviation Register of the Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC Aviation Register) issued a certificate to the MAI as a designer of light civil aircraft. For the first time in its history, the MAI received the state status of a developer of aviation equipment, officially recognized as an aviation design organization.
On December 17, 1999, the Aviation Register of the IAC issued a type certificate to the MAI for the aircraft "Aviatika-MAI-890" (serial modification). The aircraft developed by OSKBES MAI became the first certified aircraft of this class in Russia and the CIS.
By order of the Ministry of Higher Education of the USSR dated September 18, 1987, the Educational and Methodological Association for Aviation Specialties was created at MAI, which in 1992 was transformed into the Educational and Methodological Association of Higher Educational Institutions of the Russian Federation in the field of aviation, rocketry and space (UMO ARC). The association includes 9 specialized universities and, in addition, 36 related faculties and departments of universities in other areas. UMO ARC is one of the largest associations and coordinates the activities of universities in 4 areas and 26 specialties of the aerospace profile. For 20 years (1987-2007), Professor Yu. A. Sidorov worked as Deputy Chairman of the UMO of the ARC, then - A. Yu. Sidorov. UMO ARC is responsible for the development of State educational standards, curricula and programs in the specialties assigned to it, the development of recommendations for the publication of textbooks and teaching aids, examination when opening new specialties and conferring academic titles, the formation of scientific and methodological councils in specialties. Currently, the UMO ARC is working on the creation of a new generation of State educational standards.
Since 1992, after a long break, the MAI's international activities have significantly intensified. As a result, the number of foreign citizens studying at MAI on a contract basis has significantly increased. Among foreign students and postgraduates of the MAI there are citizens of the countries of Southeast Asia, Syria, Iran, America, Canada, almost all European countries. MAI is annually visited by representatives of about 90 foreign organizations, up to 130 teachers, students and employees of MAI travel abroad. During this period, MAI has implemented or is in the process of implementing more than 50 international contracts with partners from France, China, Germany, Mexico, Brazil, Iran, Syria and other countries.
In 2009, MAI became one of the 12 universities of the country that won the competitive selection development programs of universities, which the Government Russian Federation awarded the category "National Research University" (Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 2, 2009 No. 1613-r).
On May 19, 2011, by order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation (No. 1669), the educational institution was renamed the federal state budgetary educational institution higher vocational education"Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University)".
MAI was one of the first universities that received the right to conduct an experiment in training officers for contract service. An experiment in the training of career officers in civilian universities made it possible to amend the legal acts in the field of education, military service and defense. On the basis of the results obtained, military training centers were created at 37 civilian universities, including at the Moscow Aviation Institute. Currently, the Military Training Center at the MAI trains officers for contract service in the interests of various types and branches of the Armed Forces (AF) of the Russian Federation. In parallel with the main educational process at MAI, reserve officers are trained at the military department. MAI graduates since 2013 have the opportunity to do military service on conscription in scientific companies of the RF Armed Forces.
In September 2015, the MAI opened a bachelor's program in the direction of "Aircraft Engineering" in five profiles, within which foreign students study for four years at English language. In addition, an agreement was signed with the Nanjing University of Astronautics and Aeronautics, the largest university in China, on double degree programs.
The Moscow Aviation Institute takes an active part in international associations, such as:
- World Engineering Education Initiative (CDIO);
- Association of Technical Universities of Russia and China;
- European Association of Aerospace Universities PEGASUS;
- International Council for Aeronautical Sciences (ICAS);
- International Astronautical Federation (IAF).
In 2015, MAI took first place among the most demanded organizations of the defense industry, subordinated to the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, educational institutions of the country.
On March 31, 2015, by order of the Ministry of Education and Science, the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI) was reorganized by joining the Russian State technological university them. Tsiolkovsky (MATI). At the end of 2015, MAI has 12 faculties, 9 institutes (with the rights of faculties) and 5 branches, in which about 22,000 students of various forms of education study.
The presence of qualified personnel and world-renowned scientific schools, the long-standing traditions of the MAI, which guarantee the training of highly qualified specialists, the preservation and development of the educational and laboratory base, allow us to look with optimism into the future of the leading aerospace university in Russia - the national research university.
Detailed MAI plan Georgy Suvorov, MAI.Exler.ruPlan given as of September 1, 2007
MAI.Exler.ru presents to the most respectable public a MAI plan of acceptable quality and an acceptable level of detail, undoubtedly interesting to everyone who has or had a relationship with the Moscow Aviation Institute.
You can take a full-size picture (GIF, 3500x2475 pixels, A2 format) - black and white or color (about 630 Kb).
A lot of plans and schemes of the MAI have already been created. Why is the proposed one better?
In developing and compiling this plan, all the MAI plans available at that time were used, all their shortcomings and shortcomings were taken into account and eliminated. Here is what formed the basis of the above plan:
- Drawing by Vadim Chernobrov (published regularly in Propeller since ~1989).
- A rough disproportionate plan showing metro stations and wider neighborhoods (still used in admission committee, ~1994).
- Street plan hanging on building No. 5 (~ 1997-2001).
- Plan in the English-language booklet about MAI (~1998).
- Public maps and atlases of Moscow.
- Data from AHO and ETO MAI, as well as some other documents.
1. Credible numbers all MAI buildings.
The numbers of the MAI buildings marked on this plan are reliable - they are verified with the ETO and with the AHO MAI. Why is it important? Because at present, the plates with the numbers of some buildings, hung on the territory of the institute, do not correspond to the true numbers of the buildings.
- The plate "34" hangs on building No. 20;
- the plate "17" hangs on building No. 18;
- the plate "18" hangs on building No. 17;
- In addition, buildings No. 11, 10 and 57, in addition to numbers, have equal letter designations (A, B and G, respectively).
- Shelters GO OSU-1 and OSU-2 have the status of buildings No. 38 and 39, respectively.
- GAK (main administrative building) has no number.
- Numbers 8, 27, 40-53, 55, 56, 60-62, 64 and 65 are conditionally assigned to various auxiliary buildings of the MAI.
2. Numbers of all MAI checkpoints.
Isn't it true that not every student will say offhand how many passers-by at MAI? Five? Six? And there are eight of them! Of these, two, however, are no longer active, but each has its own number (from 1 to 8). In addition, stand-alone buildings with checkpoints (such as those near building No. 3, near the GAK, near building No. 6) are also formally considered corps and also have corresponding numbers. That is why the sign "Building 6" hanging at the checkpoint to the "Malaya Zemlya" is meaningless: the checkpoint building itself (checkpoint No. 7) is building No. 33!
3. Numbers and names of the dormitory buildings of the MAI campus.
Icarus, Cosmos, etc. are indicated. On the territory of the MAI campus there are dormitory buildings No. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6. The fifth building of the hostel is formally located in the 2, 3 and 4 wings of building No. 6 (Panfilov St., 20), but at present these premises practically do not perform the functions of a hostel. Dormitory buildings No. 7A, 7B, 7B are located on the street. Vilis Latsis (houses 18, 16 and 14 respectively).
4. Credible postal numbers of all nearby houses.
The postal numbers of the houses in the minds of the city authorities were intricately intertwined with the numbers of the buildings of the Mayov hostels. For example, d. 5 on Dubosekovsky st. - this is the sixth building of the hostel; here is a sign hanging that this is house 5 building 6. In this case, where is house 5 building. 5, d. 5 bldg. 4, d. 5 bldg. 7? And they are not, because the reliable postal number of this house is 5. Without any building! The same can be said about house 10 on Facultetsky lane, it is also the fourth building of the hostel - in some places it is designated as house 10 bldg. 4, which is fundamentally wrong. And so on. Therefore, the number on the presented plan is correct, but looking at the number on the house itself, do not believe your eyes.
5. Other objects.
In addition to all of the above, the plan includes:
- established informal names of some places ( "icebreaker", "turtle", "box", "Small Earth" etc.);
- approximate distribution of faculties by buildings;
- canteens, buffets, bars;
- car parking;
- city payphones;
- public transport stops and their names;
- underground passages;
- explanatory inscriptions indicating landmark buildings;
- green spaces.
In conclusion, it should be especially noted that the plan is more or less proportional, that is, the comparative sizes of the buildings and the distances between them are respected, as far as possible on the plan. This, too, has never been on the public plans of the MAI.
I have no doubt that this plan will be useful not only to the operational and economic services of the Moscow Aviation Institute, but also to applicants, students and graduate students. I am convinced that it will also warm the hearts of the graduates of our institute.
Finally, I will freely quote Artemy Lebedev:
“You can use this plan for your own purposes - hang it on the wall, or as wallpaper, or mail it to a friend. If you want to put it on your site, publish it in any form on any medium, sell, replicate, etc., you have no right to without prior written permission. Intellectual property is not bullshit, remember that.”
Your remarks, additions and amendments will be accepted with gratitude.

- How this or that building of the MAI looks like, you can see in the photo album.
- Do you have any comments or additions? .
- slider
The so-called bypass sheet. After defending the diploma, the student is given a special form in which it is necessary to receive marks from various departments of the Moscow Aviation Institute (that he was discharged from the hostel, that he handed over all the books to the library, etc.).
The “runner” got its name because in order to fill it “from and to” and get everything ( all!) signatures and seals, you have to pretty much run around the institute (you usually manage to turn the whole procedure on the second attempt). Only having a properly completed bypass sheet on hand, it is possible to get the actual "crust" (diploma of graduation from the MAI). - "Icarus"
Quite the official name. The second building of the Mayov hostels. Address - st. Dubosekovskaya, 13. - KDP
Diploma design office. - Box
Equipped football and hockey field in the center of the MAI campus, next to "Icebreaker"(see) and polyclinic No. 44. Traditional, along with "Triangle"(see), a meeting place, hangouts and libations. - Flint
Mayovets, who visited the MTR (usually distant, such as "Shushensky" or "Urengoy"). To obtain this title, you must go through a kind of "baptism" procedure. - Icebreaker
An established informal name. Officially - "Dining Plant "Dining Room MAI"". A multi-storey student canteen located on the campus. Built in 1980. Formal address - st. Tsareva., d. 16. - Flying saucer
The area near the trolleybus and tram stops "Aviation and Food Institutes". The name reflects the proximity of two universities: "plate" - food (see. Pischaga), "flying" - aviation. Oddly enough, the nearby Stroganovka (aka Befstroganovka, MHPU named after S. G. Stroganov) is not mentioned in Mayevsky folklore. - Mayovets
Student or graduate of MAI. (Attention! Term "mayshnik" must not be used!)13, 32, 33, 54, 63. It houses the Faculty No. 4 "Radio Electronics of Aircraft" (FRELA), the hang gliding club of the MAI, the center of underwater activity "Dessa", the editorial office of the newspaper "Propeller" (all in building No. 6), military training faculty (FVO, corp. No. 6, 13), Aviation Center and OSTO MAI (corp. No. 54), etc. It got its name in 1978 after the publication of the book of the same name by L. I. Brezhnev (M., Politizdat) .
- Morgue
The fourth building of the Mayov hostels. The address is Fakultetsky per., 10. In this building, in addition to the hostel and various organizations renting space, there is Mayovskaya Polyclinic No. 44. Hence the name. - Pinochet
Possibly short for " Pi obvious on the against „ H aiki". Settled in the 1970s. at the address Volokolamskoye sh., 15, where the Nevka cafe was subsequently opened, and after that - Cheburechnaya USSR. (It is interesting that the institution originally opened in the same year and month when a military coup took place in Chile, as a result of which General Augusto Pinochet came to power in the country.) "The Seagull" - a cinema, until the early 1980s. located across the road at 14 Volokolamskoye shosse, where the Seventh Luza billiard club-bar was later opened (closed in 2006).
According to another version, "PINCHET" stands for " P donkey and institute n a about setting „ H aika" e st „ t points".
There is also an opinion that the decoding sounds like this: Pi obvious on the against even top faculty". - Pischaga
She is food and . The common name of the Moscow State University of Food Production, located next to the MAI, more precisely, with Small Earth(cm.). - PNI
Abbreviation for "Beerhouse opposite the institute." From the beginning of the 1970s to 1985, it was located at Volokolamskoye sh., 3, just opposite the MAI (more precisely, opposite the fifth building). And to this day in this house in the same place, replacing each other, there are inexpensive zucchini. - suction
The name is consonant with the abbreviation "PSSO", which means "Permanent student construction team", a kind of Mayevsky construction battalion. Students who study the same course repeatedly (recovered, returned from academic leave) are required to work a certain number of hours in the ranks of this institute unit. Typical occupations of a sucker are cleaning the territory, washing floors and walls in buildings, and other low-intellectual and menial work. In fact, the phrase “was a year in suction”, “went into suction (for suction)”, means “remained for re-training”. - Float
He is the Academic badge of MAI. A badge in the shape of a rhombus, issued upon graduation. The name was given for the shape, somewhat reminiscent of a float. - Sheet
Notice of admission to the MAI. A5 sheet with a photo of yesterday's applicant, and now capricorn(see), and seal. Serves as a temporary pass to the institute. Subsequently, it is exchanged for an annual pass, and even that one (after the third year) - for a permanent perpetual one. - Prophylac
It is also a sanatorium. Located in Tsarevka(cm.). Formally, it is a medical institution where any student of the Moscow Aviation Institute who wants to improve his health can stay for a month. In fact, the result of being in profilak is just the opposite: drinking with friends every day, the opportunity for Muscovite students to live the life of a hostel for a month, without parents, with all the ensuing consequences.
To get a ticket to profilak, you should submit an application to the trade union bureau of your faculty. - ritual square
She is a Ritual. The area in the center of the Mayovskaya territory, with
