On August 5, 1905, an outstanding Soviet aircraft designer, twice Hero of Socialist Labor Artyom Mikoyan was born. In tandem with his colleague Mikhail Gurevich, he launched a range of MiG aircraft, which set about 110 world records. At the Mikoyan and Gurevich Design Bureau, winged aircraft were created, which played an important role in the Great Patriotic War, as well as the most massive combat jet aircraft in the history of aviation. Mikoyan himself possessed a real gift of scientific and technical foresight. “There are no limits and boundaries in the exploration of near-earth space, as well as of the world outer space. Aviation will have to master flights in the atmosphere at speeds close to space, at ranges of tens and hundreds of thousands of kilometers, with loads weighing tons, provided that hypersonic aircraft are used repeatedly, ”Artyom Mikoyan said.
