Sukhoi Design Bureau

JSC "Sukhoi" - one of the leading companies for the development of Russian aviation equipment. Included in the aviation holding company "Sukhoi Company».

Takes its origin from the team number 4 AGOS TsAGI, which in October 1930 led the PO Sukhoi. From that moment begins the formation of the design team of the future design bureau.

birthday KB Sukhoi is July 29, 1939 - Release date of the Government decision on which team Design Bureau of the Moscow plant number 156 for the introduction of BB-1 in the series, led by Pavel Osipovich Sukhoi was in full transferred from Moscow to Kharkov in the factory serial number 135, master the release of the aircraft Su-2. PO Sukhoi was appointed chief designer of the plant. Then transfer to Podlipki the plant number 289, evacuated to Perm, and on return, a new job - the territory of the factory number 464 in Tushino.

Since 1945, the Design Bureau has been developing and building:
fighter jets Su-9, Su-11, Su-13, Su-15, Su-17 (the first with these names);
jet bomber Su-10;
twin-engine piston-spotter reconnaissance Su-12.

On the basis of Tu-2 is created and started mass production trainer bomber UTB-2, in addition, is the design of passenger and cargo planes landing, jet Su-14 and other aircraft.

November 14, 1949 decision of the government OKB was liquidated. One reason for the liquidation of KB was an accident aircraft Su-15.

During the period from 1939 to 1949 in KB, headed by PO Sukhoi, were designed, manufactured and tested more than a dozen aircraft, has excellent flight performance. None of these aircraft, except aircraft Su-2, not mass-produced.

The reasons for this - in difficult wartime conditions, in nedovedennosti engine turbochargers. It is unclear why, in whose interests it was decided to disband the team, which came essentially in the stage of development of supersonic flight speeds, a decision that led, as subsequent events showed, to delay the development of Russian supersonic aircraft for several years.

In May 1953 KB was restored, PO Sukhoi was appointed chief designer of OKB-1, formed in 1952 in order to determine the possibility of using structural and technological solutions used in the American plane "Sabre».

At the end of the 1980s in the OKB. Dry the breakthrough to supermaneuverability modes - in an area that has not yet mastered the aircraft of other firms in the world. Maneuvers on modes supermaneuverability "Cobra Pugacheva", "bell", "hook" perform test pilots on the aircraft Su-27, Su-30, Su-33.

In the mid-1990s planes "Su" were equipped with engines with thrust vector control, which will significantly expand the field of development modes supermaneuverability, eliminate the problem of stall and spin and boost the prestige of aircraft grade "Su" as the most secure and free from a number of serious limitations maneuvering dogfight.

Over many decades, the collective OKB created about 100 types of aircraft and their modifications, of which more than 60 types of mass-produced, and the total number of mass-produced aircraft exceeds 10,000 copies. Over 2,000 aircraft delivered to 30 countries. On planes "Su" is set more than 50 world records.
