RNII |
 | | The RNII continued the development of solid-fueled missiles initiated in the GDL and it absorbed the research in the field of liquid-propellant rocketry inherited from GIRD, including the development of a rocket-powered glider and winged missiles. |
 | | On June 16, 1936, the technical concil of the RNII considered a preliminary design of the rocket glider, designated 218. |
 | | By the time of his move to Moscow from Leningrad in 1934, Glushko had already made nitric acid and kerosene his "propellant of choice." Nevertheless, Mikhail Tikhonravov, who came to RNII from GIRD, continued attempts to develop a rocket engine burning kerosene mixed with liquid oxygen. |
