  • Economic Growth in the Governance of the Cold War Divide Mikoyan's
    Economic Growth in the Governance of the Cold War Divide Mikoyan’s Encounter with Japan, Summer 1961 ✣ Oscar Sanchez-Sibony Noguchi Yoshio had written to him after all. Anastas Mikoyan had been re- tired for ten years. The year was 1975, and to mark Mikoyan’s 80th birthday, Noguchi had sent the retired Soviet official a souvenir.1 He was not the only one to remember Mikoyan in his retirement. Writing in 1972 on the occasion of his oil company’s 60th anniversary, the redoubtable Idemitsu Sazo sent to Mikoyan—in the somewhat bewildered words of then-Soviet ambassador to Japan Oleg Troyanovskii—a “piece of cloth.”2 Matsubara Yosamatsu, presi- dent of the industrial and shipbuilding conglomerate Hitachi Zosen, chose a more personal note. In his letter, he recounted to Mikoyan the first time they met in August 1961 during Mikoyan’s tour of the corporation’s shipyard in Sakurajima, as well as their encounter a year later when Matsubara headed a delegation of Japanese businessmen in Moscow. “Ten years have passed since then,” he wistfully wrote to the Old Bolshevik. “And in that time, economic relations between our two countries strengthen with every year as trade rela- tions develop between our countries even more greatly.”3 Meanwhile, Prime Minister Sato Eisaku also recalled that fateful year, writing in his personal letter to Mikoyan: “I am sincerely glad that relations between Japan and the Soviet Union, especially after your visit to Japan in 1961, continue to develop 1. Mikoyan’s thank-you note dates from 1 December 1975 and is stored in Russian State Archive of Sociopolitical History (RGASPI), Fond (F.) 84, Opis’ (Op.) 3, Delo (D.) 108, List (L.) 43.

    Early History of Spacecraft and Rocketry Fig. 13.6. Tomb of a Soviet rocket pio- neer Fridrikh A. Tsander in Kislovodsk, Russia. An artistic model of the GIRD-X rocket is at the top right corner of the stone. , Tsander was fascinated with interplanetary flight since his childhood years in his na- tive Riga (present Latvia). He graduated as engineer and went to work to Moscow and eventually became the head of the Moscow GIRD group. Tsander remained devoted to spaceflight through all his life. Even the names of his children were in- fluenced by his passion: daughter Astra and son Merkuri. When on vacations at a resort at the North Caucasus, Tsander con- tracted typhus and died in 1933. The in- scription on his tomb reads: “Pioneer of the Soviet Rocketry; Enthusiast of Inter- planetary Flight; Fridrikh Arturovich Tsan- der; 1887-1933.” Photo courtesy of Vik- tor Soloviev, Moscow, Russia. (Katyusha, the nickname of the Soviet solid-propellant missile M-13, literally stood for an affectionate diminutive of the Russian girl's given name equivalent to Katherine.) The M-13 projectiles, or Katyusha's, were 5.1 in. (132 mm) in diameter and 6 ft (1.8 m) long. The projectile mass was 92.5 lb (42 kg), including a 48.2-lb Katyusha (21.9-kg) explosive warhead. The rocket range reached 3 miles (4.8 3 km). Katyusha missiles proved to be 27 highly reliable and were used for many years after the war had ended. The missile also became a favorite heavy weapon of assorted Soviet- sponsored guerillas during the Cold War.

  • Ancra-Signs-Contract-With-Irkut Copy
    For Immediate Release Ancra Signs Contract with Irkut for MC-21 Lower Deck Cargo Loading Systems MOSCOW, RU — Ancra International, LLC has signed a contract with Irkut Corporation to develop and deliver the lower deck cargo loading systems for the new MC-21-200 and MC-21-300 mainline passenger aircraft. Each aircraft has the option of a manual or powered-loading system – using 2-inch Power Drive Units – with all four systems being developed simultaneously. Integral to the design is an offering to the operator for future upgrade from manual to powered capability. The powered systems leverage technology from Ancra’s 747-400 and A330 converted freighter main deck powered cargo loading systems and are designed to load and unload IATA 40/1 and 50/0 containers with reduced manpower. Critical Design Review is scheduled for December 2015 and the first system delivery is scheduled in August 2016. “We are excited to be part of the Irkut team as they bring their decades of experience designing and building aircraft to the 150-210 passenger aircraft market space. This program is a blessing for us as we take our own extensive main deck cargo loading system experience and expand it into the passenger lower deck domain.” says Ed Dugic, Director of Sales and Marketing for Ancra Aircraft Systems. About Ancra International Ancra International was founded in 1969 to serve the cargo handling industry with a complete line of cargo restraint and conveyance equipment for the air, truck, and rail markets. Since its inception, Ancra International’s Aircraft Systems Division has evolved to become an international leader in the design and manufacture of aircraft cargo handling and restraint systems.

  • Chertok Front Matter
    Chertok ch1 12/21/04 11:27 AM Page 1 Chapter 1 Introduction: A Debt to My Generation On 1 March 2002, I turned ninety. On that occasion, many people not only congratulated me and wished me health and prosperity, but also insisted that I continue my literary work on the history of rocket-space science and technology.1 I was eighty years old when I had the audacity to think that I possessed not only waning engineering capabilities, but also literary skills sufficient to tell about “the times and about myself.” I began to work in this field in the hope that Fate’s goodwill would allow my idea to be realized. Due to my literary inexperience, I assumed that memoirs on the establishment and development of aviation and, subsequently, rocket-space technology and the people who created it could be limited to a single book of no more than five hundred pages. However, it turns out that when one is producing a literary work aspiring to historical authenticity,one’s plans for the size and the deadlines fall through, just as rocket-space systems aspiring to the highest degree of reliability exceed their budgets and fail to meet their deadlines. And the expenses grow, proportional to the failure to meet deadlines and the increase in reliability. Instead of the original idea of a single book, my memoirs and musings took up four volumes, and together with the publishing house I spent six years instead of the planned two! Only the fact that the literary work was a success, which neither the publishing house nor I expected, validated it.

  • Irkut MC-21, First Analysis
    leehamnews.com https://leehamnews.com/2016/02/08/irkut-mc-21-first-analysis/ Irkut MC-21, first analysis By Bjorn Fehrm Subscription required. Introduction Feb. 08, 2016, © Leeham Co: We recently covered China’s COMAC C919 and now the time has come to the other new narrow body aircraft from the old Communist bloc, the Russian MC-21. The aircraft is called Irkut MC-21. Not many have heard of Irkut, so the first reaction is that this aircraft is made by a new Russian aircraft firm. The change is that United Aircraft (the Russian aircraft industry holding company) this time called the aircraft after its manufacturing company and not the design bureau, Yakovlev, that Irkut acquired in 2004. There are discussions to change back to the project’s original name Yakovlev 242 once certification is done. When we looked at the first civil airliner that the Russian federation designed after the fall of Soviet Union, the Sukhoi Superjet 100, we found a well designed aircraft equipped with Western system. The MC-21 follows the same lines, but has more Russian technological development. It is therefore well worth a look. Summary: The MC-21 has its own profile. It is not a copy of a Western aircraft. It has a wider cabin than the A320, a wing which allows a higher cruise speed and a higher capacity in its base variant, the MC-21-300. To make a meaningful comparison between the MC-21 and established aircraft, we have chosen to compare the MC-21-200 with the Airbus A320neo, as the MC-21-300 is larger than the A320neo but smaller than an A321neo.
