Introduction: MIKHAIL L. MIL AND TSAGI
要約
On November 22, 2009, 100 years had passed since the birth of the outstanding Russian scientist and helicopter designer M. L. Mil. During the period 1947 to 1970, first as design manager and then chief designer, Mikhail L. Mil was at the forefront in the engineering of outstanding helicopters, civil and military helicopters of the mark “Mi”. Developed by the experimental design office (EDO), these helicopters are known all over the world and are in great demand on the domestic and foreign market. More than 90% of the helicopters currently produced in Russia are the “Mi” helicopters, having the basic design laid out by M. L. Mil. In Soviet times the “Mi” helicopters exceeded the helicopters of other countries by total capacity.
M. L. Mil was closely related to TsAGI throughout his extraordinarily creative career in the pursuit of multifaceted research interests.
