Dmitry Chernyshenko congratulated the Moscow Aviation Institute on its 95th anniversary.
The Deputy Prime Minister noted the rich history of the university and its outstanding graduates. Among them are one of the founders of Russian cosmonautics Mikhail Reshetnev, helicopter designer Sergei Mikheev, physicist Sergei Kapitsa and many others.
“The Moscow Aviation Institute makes an important contribution to the development of the research and development sphere and successfully works to achieve technological leadership – the national goal set by our President Vladimir Putin. The university is one of the universities participating in the Priority 2030 program of the Youth and Children national project, and an advanced engineering school has been created there. I am sure that MAI will have many more new achievements and victories in the future,” said Dmitry Chernyshenko.
The Deputy Prime Minister also noted that, by decree of the head of state, the Moscow Aviation Institute is participating in a pilot project to improve the higher education system.
“Today, almost 20 thousand students study at the university. More than 40% of them are in specialties related to such important areas as aviation and rocket and space technology. I wish them interesting studies, further professional development and work for the benefit of our entire country,” added Dmitry Chernyshenko.
MAI students participate in the creation of breakthrough technologies. For example, they are involved in the design of unmanned aircraft systems and their components. Students participate in the development of manufacturing and certification technologies for composite structures, as well as methods for computational and experimental research, which make it possible to significantly reduce the time and cost of their testing.
The advanced engineering school of the Moscow Aviation Institute is working on projects that are important for the industry. Thus, specialists from the Moscow Aviation Institute have developed a series of electric motors for small and medium-sized drones. In addition, an engine for heavy vehicles weighing up to 120 kg has already passed flight tests.
In addition, within the framework of the Decade of Science and Technology announced by President Vladimir Putin, MAI employees are implementing media projects to popularize science and engineering activities and are developing a program of popular science tourism.
In honor of the 95th anniversary of the university’s foundation, thematic events will be held. In March, there will be a gala evening and exhibition “MAI in Faces” on Rozhdestvensky Boulevard, and in May, a technology festival.
