Vladimir, Russia
Vladimir (, ) is a types of inhabited localities in Russia, city and the administrative center of Vladimir Oblast, Russia, located on the Klyazma River, east of Moscow. It is served by a railway and the M7 motorway (Russia), M7 motorway. Population: History Vladimir was Vladimir-Suzdal, one of the medieval capitals of Russia, with significant buildings surviving from the 12th century. Two of its Russian Orthodox cathedrals, a monastery, and associated buildings have been designated among the White Monuments of Vladimir and Suzdal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the past, the city was also known as Vladimir-on-Klyazma () and Vladimir-Zalessky (), to distinguish it from Volodymyr, Volyn Oblast, another Vladimir/Volodymyr in Volhynia (modern-day Ukraine). Foundation The founding date of Vladimir is disputed between 990 and 1108. In the ''Novgorod First Chronicle'', Vladimir is mentioned under the year 1108, and during the Soviet period, this year was decreed to be its foundatio ...

Ilyushin Il-16
The Ilyushin Il-16 (Cyrillic Илью́шин Ил-16) was a Soviet lightweight armored ground-attack aircraft developed at the end of World War II by the Ilyushin Design Bureau. It was in essence a scaled-down version of the Ilyushin Il-10, but was fitted with a newly developed Mikulin AM-43 engine with the expectation that it would be faster and more maneuverable than its predecessor. However, the engine's defects proved to be impossible to rectify and further development were canceled in mid-1946. Development The relatively high performance of the Il-10 prompted the development by the Ilyushin design bureau in 1944 of a lighter attack aircraft with greater speed and maneuverability using a more-powerful engine. The Il-16, as the new design was called, was powered by the new liquid-cooled Mikulin AM-43NV engine that delivered for takeoff. The design of the Il-16 was virtually identical to that of the Il-10, both aerodynamically and structurally, but it was slightly smaller an ...

People From Vladimir, Russia
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independent sovereignty and therefore secession. Indeed, judge Ivor Jennings identified the inherent problems in the right of "peoples" to self-determination, as i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Soyuz Scientific Production Association
Soyuz Scientific Production Association () is a company based in Moscow, Russia. The Moscow Soyuz Scientific Production Complex was founded by Alexander Mikulin as an experimental design bureau in 1943. Mikulin's wartime engine designs powered MiG-3 interceptors and Il-2 Shturmovik attack aircraft. Sergei Tumansky succeeded Mikulin as general director of the design bureau in 1956. As the Tumanskiy OKB, the bureau produced designs for the RD-9 (used in the MiG-19 Farmer), the RD-11/ RD-13/ RD-25 (used in the many variants of the MiG-21 Fishbed), the R-195 (used in the Su-25 Frogfoot), the R-15 (used in the MiG-25 Foxbat), the RU-19 auxiliary power unit, the R-27/ R-29 (used in the MiG-23/27 Flogger), and the R-79 (intended as the main thrust engine in the Yak-141 Freestyle). The engines designed by MNPK Soyuz are built by the Ufa Motor-Building Corporation and other plants. 03/25/2022 The Administration of the Republic of Tatarstan held a meeting on the issue of resuming ...

Sergey Tumansky
Sergei Konstantinovich Tumansky (; – 9 September 1973) was a designer of Soviet aircraft engines and the chief designer in the Tumansky Design Bureau, OKB-300. He worked in TsIAM (1931–38 and in 1940), and at the aircraft-engine plant N 29, in Zaporozhye. He also worked as a substitute main designer in OKB A.A. Mikulin beginning in 1943. Biography Sergei Tumansky was born in Minsk, the Russian Empire, on May 21, 1901 and died, at age 73, in Moscow, the Soviet Union, on September 9, 1973. He studied at the Vladimir school until joining the Red Army in 1918 where he took part in air operations on both fronts. In 1919 Sergey graduated from radio engineering school and served as a technician at the Petrogradskaya Military Technical School starting in 1921. 1927 saw Tumansky enter the Zhukovsky Air Force Engineering Academy where he worked with other engineers (Ponomarev, Fedorov, & Zenichkin) to develop the Tufsen aircraft engine, for which they were awarded the first place p ...

Tumansky RD-9
The Tumansky RD-9 (initially designated Mikulin AM-5) was an early Soviet turbojet engine, not based on pre-existing German or British designs. The AM-5, developed by scaling down the AM-3, was available in 1952 and completed testing in 1953; it produced thrust without afterburner. The AM-5 engine is notable for making possible the first mass-produced supersonic interceptors such as the MiG-19, and the first Soviet all-weather area interceptor, the Yak-25. When Sergei Tumansky replaced Alexander Mikulin as the OKB-24's chief designer in 1956, the engine was renamed RD-9. The engine was later built under license in China as the WP-6. Variants and applications ;RD-9A: ;RD-9B: Used in the East German civilian jetliner project Baade 152 in 1958 and 1959, replaced when Pirna 014 engines became available. ;RD-9AK: Non-afterburning versions for the Yak-25 and Yak-26. ;RD-9AF-300: Afterburning version for the Yak-27 and Yak-28. ;RD-9AF2-300: Afterburning version for the Yak-27 and Y ...

Ilyushin Il-20 (1948)
The Ilyushin Il-20 was a Soviet prototype for a heavily armored ground-attack aircraft to replace the Ilyushin Il-10. It featured a number of innovative concepts including a cockpit mounted on top of the engine, directly behind the propeller, and wing-mounted autocannon that could be adjusted on the ground to fire level or depressed 23° to allow the aircraft to strafe ground targets while remaining in level flight. However it was slower than the Il-10, and its M-47 engine was problematic in flight tests in 1948–49. It was not placed into production. The test pilots called the aircraft the ''Gorbach'' (Hunchback).Nemecek, p. 220 Development Ilyushin's concept to meet the 1947 requirement for a superior aircraft to the Il-10 in performance and firepower was a heavily armored, single-engine, all-metal, low-wing monoplane powered by the newly developed M-47—also known as the MF-45Sh or M-45Sh—liquid-cooled engine, which developed at takeoff.
