Mikoyan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Mikoyan, formerly Mikoyan-Gurevich (Russian: Микоян и Гуревич, МиГ), is a Russian military aircraft design bureau, primarily of fighter aircraft. It was formerly a Soviet design bureau, and was founded by Artem Mikoyan and Mikhail Gurevich as "Mikoyan-Gurevich." Upon Mikoyan's death, Gurevich's name was dropped from the name of the bureau. The bureau prefix for Mikoyan is "MiG." The Russian government is planning to merge Mikoyan with Ilyushin, Irkut, Sukhoi, Tupolev, and Yakovlev as a new company named United Aircraft Corporation. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/MiG   (468 words)

Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Mikoyan and Gurevich made a large number of modifications to the MiG-1 design after field testing revealed a number of dangerous characteristics of the type. Throughout the rest of the war, Mikoyan and Gurevich continued to develop the MiG-3 along the high-altitude interceptor lines that it had originally been designed for, leading to a series of ever-larger and more powerful prototypes, the I-220 to I-225. However, the La-5 was already in production and the I-211 did not offer the air force anything that it did not already have in that aircraft. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mikoyan-Gurevich_MiG-7   (596 words)

AirToAirCombat.Com: Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-31 Foxhound Details The MiG OKB had already been working on improvements to the Foxhound, and came up with a new Foxhound variant, the ""MiG-31B"", which featured a new Zaslon radar with improved range and counter-countermeasures; as well as other updated avionics, including modernized digital processors; plus support for the improved R-33S AAM. The MiG-31 proved to be highly satisfactory in operational service, and field commanders began to consider it for other missions, such as escort of long-range maritime patrol aircraft. This item was introduced into standard production and possibly retrofitted to early production. www.airtoaircombat.com /detail.asp?id=23   (596 words)

Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 (МиГ-21 in Cyrillic script) (NATO reporting name Fishbed) is a fighter aircraft, originally built by the Mikoyan and Gurevich Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It is the second most produced post-World War II military aircraft, after the Lockheed C-130 Hercules. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mikoyan-Gurevich_MiG-21   (1169 words)

Mikoyan-Gurevich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia MiG (Russian: МиГ for Mikoyan and Gurevich) is the designation for military aircraft designed by the Armenian Artem Ivanovich Mikoyan and the Russian Mikhail Iosifovich Gurevich or their design bureau. MiGs were the best-known Soviet fighters during the Cold War, and as a result there are a number of fictional MiGs in Western popular culture. MiGs follow the convention of using odd numbers for fighter aircraft. www.encyclopedia-online.info /MiG   (270 words)

Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-1 Initially, Artem Mikoyan and Mikhail Gurevich were competing against Nikolai Polikarpov to fill this niche, but when Polikarpov fell out of favour with Stalin, Mikoyan and Gurevich's design was suddenly accepted for development in November, with a deadline of April for the first flight. The approach that Mikoyan and Gurevich selected was to build the smallest possible aircraft around the intended powerplant, thereby minimising weight and drag - the philosophy of the light fighter. The MiG-1 was designed in response to a requirement for such an interceptor perceived by the Soviet Air Force in January 1939. www.sciencedaily.com /encyclopedia/mikoyan_gurevich_mig_1   (413 words)

Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-3 Even today, despite the death of Mikoyan in 1970, and that of Gurevich in 1976, the designation MiG continues to be used to identify the most advanced Soviet combat aircraft, in remembrance of the partnership between the two great technicians, which originated in 1938, immediately prior to the outbreak of war. The MiG-1 was the first Soviet fighter of World War 11 and the first to bear the "signature" of Artem lvanovich Mikoyan and Mikhail Lossipovich Gurevich, two designers who were to become world famous. In that year, Mikoyan and Gurevich began their long association with the intention of building a single-seater interceptor developed around the large and powerful Mikulin AM-35, a 12-cylinder Vee engine capable of generating 1,200 hp at 19,735 ft (6000 m) and 1,350 hp at takeoff. www.kotfsc.com /aviation/mig3.htm   (877 words)

Mikoyan MiG-29 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Mikoyan MiG-29 (МиГ-29 in Cyrillic script) (NATO reporting name 'Fulcrum') is originally a Soviet fighter aircraft used in the air superiority role. Refined versions of the MiG-29 with improved avionics were fielded by the Soviet Union, but Mikoyan plans for more advanced, multi-role variants, including a carrier-based version, were interrupted by the fall of the Soviet Union. The MiG-29 is still under development, and a new version of the plane called MiG-29 SMT and MiG 29 M2 are being developed. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mig-29   (2478 words)

Expert About mi:Mikoyan Artem Ivanovich Mikoyan ("Արտյոմ Հովհաննեսի Միկոյան" in Armenian; "Артё́м Ива́нович Микоя́н" in Russian) (August 5, 1905 – December 9, 1970) was an Armenian / Soviet aircraft designer, in partnership with Mikhail Iosifovich Gurevich he designed many of the famous MiG military aircraft. Mikoyan was able to wrest design and production of cruise missiles from Chelomei in 1952, resulting in a missile series based on the MiG-15 aerodynamic layout. Artem Ivanovich Mikoyan, brother of Stalin’s foreign minister, was named head of a new aircraft design bureau in Moscow on 8 December 1939. expertsite.biz /dir/mi/Mikoyan.htm   (854 words)

Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Mikoyan OKB's response was a design with the bureau designation I-310; a project that was influenced by plans for the Focke-Wulf Ta 183, which Soviet forces captured when they overran Berlin in 1945. Desperate to get hold of an intact MiG for testing, the United States offered $100,000 and political asylum to any pilot who would defect with their airplane. Eventually a North Korean pilot, who claimed to be unaware of the proferred reward, landed at Kimpo Air Base in September 1953, allowing the first detailed evaluation of the aircraft. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/MiG-15   (1012 words)

Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia At late '90s, Mikoyan Design Bureau, following their successful MiG-21 upgrade projects, offered a MiG-23-98 upgrade which featured a new radar, new self-defence suite, new avionics, improved cockpit ergonomy, helmet-mounted sight and capability to fire R-27 and R-77 missiles. This led Mikoyan to consider two alternatives: lift jets to provide an additional lift component and variable-geometry wings which had been developed by TsAGI for both 'clean-sheet' aircraft designs and adaptations of existing designs. Most Soviet MiGs were also wired to carry tactical nuclear weapons. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mikoyan-Gurevich_MiG-23   (3037 words)

Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia From 9 December 1940, according to a new naming system, the first 100 I-200 were named MiG-1, after Mikoyan and Gurevich initials, while further improved aircraft, were named MiG-3. Further works upon the I-200 design were given to Mikoyan and Gurevich, who later became, not fully justly, recognized as its designers. The result was a highly conventional aircraft that flew on schedule on April 5, 1940, although its intended powerplant was not ready in time. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mikoyan-Gurevich_MiG-1   (531 words)
