Information about the university
At the beginning of the twentieth century, there was an intensive development of aviation science and technology. This has led to an increased demand for specialists with appropriate qualifications in the industry. The initiator of the creation of special centers for research and training of engineering personnel was Professor N. E. Zhukovsky. Realizing the importance of this issue, in 1930, on the basis of the Aeromechanical Faculty of the Moscow Higher Technical School, VAMU (Higher Aeromechanical School) was organized with an aeronautic, engine building and aircraft building department. In August 1930, this institution was renamed the Moscow Aviation Institute.
In the memorable year of 1930, the first graduation of a large number of aviation engineers took place at MAI, many of whom joined the teaching staff of the educational institution. In the same period, postgraduate studies appeared, in which designers and scientists were enrolled, who later became widely known.
The structure of the educational institution was constantly improved, adjusting to new requirements and discoveries in the aviation industry. That is why, in 1933, an engineering and economic faculty appeared at the institute, which trained specialists in such areas as economics and the organization of the aviation industry. And in 1935, the Faculty of Aircraft Weapons appeared, where students were trained to handle aircraft combat installations, as well as navigation and radio equipment.
By 1940, the institute consisted of 5 faculties, 38 departments, 24 specialized classrooms, 22 laboratories, equipped training workshops, and a flight training detachment. After the war, MAI began to develop specialized lecture courses and experimental facilities for rocket and jet engines to train specialists, taking into account new discoveries in science. In the 1950s, departments for the design and design of rockets were opened, and in the 1980s, the MAI-89 ultralight aircraft was developed, which subsequently set a record for the speed of climbing to a height of three thousand meters. In 1998, the Moscow Aviation Institute received a certificate confirming the right to develop light civil aircraft.

Story
The birth and development of the Moscow Aviation Institute is closely connected with the needs of developing aviation, with the activities of Professor N. E. Zhukovsky, on whose initiative in 1909 at the Imperial Moscow Technical School (now MSTU named after N. E. Bauman) a course on the theoretical foundations of aeronautics began .
On September 17, 1929, by order of the Supreme Economic Council of the USSR (No. 124), the aviation department of the mechanical faculty of the Moscow Higher Technical School was transformed into the aeronautical faculty.
On March 20, 1930, on the basis of the aeromechanical faculty of the Moscow Higher Technical School, the Higher Aeromechanical School (VAMU) was established by order of the USSR Supreme Economic Council.
On August 20, 1930, the Moscow Aviation Institute was established on the basis of VAMU. At first, classes were held on Olkhovskaya Street, then the university was given a building on 5th Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street. By the beginning of the academic year (1930-1931), students of the aviation department of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute - 120 people - and Tomsk Technological Institute - 19 people were transferred to VAMU. As part of MAI, as well as in VAMU, there were three departments: aircraft building, engine building and aeronautics.
In 1930-1931, the structure of the institute was being formed. The Aeronautical Faculty was renamed into the Airship Building Faculty.
On September 22, 1932, by the decision of the Central Control Commission of the RCT, on the basis of the Airship Building Faculty of the MAI, the Moscow Airship Building Institute was formed, which, by the decision of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR on April 8, 1939, was reorganized into the Moscow Institute of Engineers of the Civil Air Fleet. K. E. Tsiolkovsky (Later Russian State Technological University named after K.E. Tsiolkovsky).
By 1933, the first own building of the institute was built (currently building No. 3 of the Faculty of Control Systems) at the fork of the Volokolamsk and Leningrad highways, where the main territory of the university is located to this day.
On March 10, 1933, the Faculty of Engineering and Economics of the MAI was organized on the basis of the Moscow Aviation Engineering and Economics Institute (MAIEI) and the departments of production organization and concrete economics.
On December 16, 1935, by decree of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR, the name of the People's Commissar of Heavy Industry Sergo Ordzhonikidze was given.
By the autumn of 1941, the government decided to evacuate the institute to Alma-Ata. After the defeat of the Germans near Moscow, the issue of resuming the activities of the institute in Moscow was raised, and already on February 2, 1942, the educational process began in the Moscow premises of the institute.
In 1945, the merits of the MAI staff during the war were awarded a high government award - the Order of Lenin. In addition, 119 teachers, staff and students of the institute were awarded orders and medals.

In 1956-1975, the second stage of the MAI construction was carried out. The number of classroom buildings, educational and scientific laboratories, industrial premises was increased to 35. With the growth of the institute, its structure changed, new faculties and departments were added. The result of this stage was the transformation of the aviation institute, previously focused mainly on aircraft and partially helicopter technology, into an aerospace polytechnic university that provides training for a wide range of scientific and design organizations in the aviation and rocket and space industries.
In 1959, the Department of Design and Construction of Aircraft was created to train specialists in the field of rocket and space technology. From the moment of organization and until 1990, the department was headed by the first deputy chief designer S.P. Koroleva, academician V.P. Mishin (graduate of MAI in 1941). The department laid the foundation for extensive training of personnel for the rocket and space industry and served as the basis for the organization in the subsequent (1968) Aerospace Faculty.
In 1967, at the Department of Design and Construction of Aircraft, the first in the USSR student design bureau of space technology "Iskra" was created.
In 1970, in accordance with the intergovernmental agreement between the USSR and India (1966), MAI took part in the creation of the Faculty of Aviation Engineering at the Bombay Institute of Technology. More than 20 professors and teachers of the MAI worked at the BTI from 1970 to 1974.
October 26, 1978 in the Soviet Union, the first successful launch of the student artificial satellite of the Earth "Radio-2" created by SKB MAI "Iskra" was carried out.
In 1980, for a great contribution to the training of specialists, in the year of its fiftieth anniversary, the Institute was awarded the Order of the October Revolution.
In 1998, the Faculty of Foreign Languages was established, which trains public relations specialists and linguists for the aviation industry.

Training and aviation base "Alferevo"
A unique type of educational process is the flight-operational practice of students, which has been held since 1973 at the Aviation Center (near the village of Alferyevo, Volokolamsk region), which has an airfield, aircraft, qualified flight and technical personnel.
During a month of practice, students, first at the flight stands of the institute, and then at the Aviation Center, comprehend the art of piloting aircraft. This allows future designers to become more familiar with the flight characteristics of aircraft.
This practice is not carried out in any other university in Russia and abroad. Over a 35-year period, it reached over 3,500 students.
A lot of work on the creation of its methodology, organization and implementation was awarded the prize of the Government of the Russian Federation.

We strongly recommend that you accept this university as a replacement for similar ones in the list. The branch of the federal state budgetary educational institution of higher professional education "Ufa State Aviation Technical University" in the city of Kumertau () is much more detailed, and is designed in a section on this list of universities. Like other state universities of Kumertau, this educational institution trains and graduates top-class specialists in the specialty "aviation".
St. Petersburg State University of Civil Aviation
Do not hesitate to consider this option as a worthy alternative to similar ones, often in the catalog. St. Petersburg State University of Civil Aviation () is very poorly noted, and a section on our resource is designed. The same as the state universities of St. Petersburg, this option trains and graduates masters of their craft in the field of "aviation".
The Chelyabinsk Higher Military Aviation School for Navigators (Military Institute) () is examined in more detail by us, and is designed in a section on the current portal. Unlike other public schools in Chelyabinsk-15, this option provides training for leaders on the subject of "aviation". It is possible to study and adopt this proposal as a replacement for similar ones in the catalog.
Branch "Vzlet" of the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI) (National Research University) in Akhtubinsk (Branch "Vzlet" of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education "Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University)" in Akhtubinsk) in more detail considered by us in one of the notes on the current portal. Like many other state institutions of Akhtubinsk, this educational institution conducts training for leaders on the subject of "aviation". We propose to consider this option and other state institutions of Akhtubinsk, as an alternative to the similar ones mentioned here.
Branch of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education "Ufa State Aviation Technical University" in Ishimbay
Like many other state universities in Ishimbay, this educational institution conducts training for leaders in the "aviation" profile. The branch of the federal state budgetary educational institution of higher professional education "Ufa State Aviation Technical University" in Ishimbay () is described in much more detail for you in one of the notes, the heading "Ishimbay State Universities", on the list of universities. One can take this university quite seriously as a replacement for many others mentioned here.
The Tutaev branch of the federal state budgetary educational institution of higher professional education "Rybinsk State Aviation Technological Academy named after P.A. Solovyov" () is very poorly given in one of the notes on a specific site. Reminiscent of other state academies Tutaev, this educational institution trains and graduates excellent specialists in the specialty "aviation". Without any hesitation, study and adopt this proposal and other Tutaev state academies, as an alternative to similar topics on the list.
Gavrilov-Yamsky branch of the Rybinsk State Aviation Technological Academy named after P.A. Solovyov

Solovyov (Gavrilov-Yamsky branch of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education "Rybinsk State Aviation Technological Academy named after P.A. Solovyov") is very poorly considered by us among other materials on a specific site. We propose to study and adopt this university as a replacement for similar ones often mentioned here. Like other state academies of Gavrilov-Yam, this option accepts and trains masters of their craft in the direction of "aviation".
Probably, like the Yeysk-1 state schools, this option trains masters of their craft on the subject of "aviation". You can quite seriously study and adopt this option and other state schools Yeysk-1, as an alternative to many others in Russia. Yeysk Higher Military Aviation School (Military Institute) named after twice Hero of the Soviet Union, Pilot-Cosmonaut of the USSR V.M.

Zhukovsky and Yu.A. Gagarin") is given in detail and drawn up in a section at the current meeting.
Military Aviation Engineering University (Voronezh)
We propose to consider this option and other state universities of Voronezh, as an alternative to similar ones often mentioned here. Military Aviation Engineering University (Voronezh) (Federal State Military Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education "Military Aviation Engineering University (Voronezh)" of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation) is very poorly described in announcements and articles on a specific resource. Reminiscent of other state universities in Voronezh, this option trains leaders in the "aviation" profile.
Branch of the Ufa State Aviation Technical University in Sterlitamak (USATU)
Unlike other state universities in Sterlitamak, this option makes top-class specialists in the "aviation" profile. It is possible to accept this option and other state universities of Sterlitamak, as an alternative to those mentioned on this resource. The branch of the Ufa State Aviation Technical University in Sterlitamak (UGATU) (Branch of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education "Ufa State Aviation Technical University" in Sterlitamak) is very poorly considered by us among other materials, headings "State Universities of Sterlitamak", on the portal.
Since I am not from a very wealthy family, I only considered the option of going to the budget. While studying Physics and Mathematics, in addition to the main exams, I took the Unified State Examination in Physics and a specialized exam in Mathematics. My plans were to enter a specialty related to astronautics, astronomy or astrophysics.
I had to choose between RUDN and MAI. Unfortunately, I chose the greater of two evils. I entered the Aerospace Faculty at the MAI on a budget, although I also entered the Physics Department of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia. I preferred MAI because of its location (it was convenient geographically)
All my misadventures began when I got to know the MAI administration better. In anticipation of the start of the school year, I needed to find out where and when the freshman meeting would be held. Since the very inconvenient website of the Institute periodically does not work, I had to call the admissions committee, which was extremely easy. I was answered not quite adequate secretary. From her, I heard a sea of unreasonable claims against me, but still got my way. True, this dialogue made me doubt the correctness of my decision. Place ambitions are somewhat blunted.
The freshman meeting also made an indelible impression on me. Almost immediately, it was announced that a meager, miserable scholarship of 1,500 rubles without a commission can be obtained, therefore, only in a commercial (!) SDM-Bank. We can say that we were immediately forbidden to look for any work. At the same time, the question of how it is possible to exist on a scholarship that is unrealistic to receive remained unanswered. At the meeting, I also learned that every year students undergo medical examinations and not only where, but precisely in the institute's polyclinic. The fact that it is inconvenient for you to go there every time when it is wildly busy, no one cares.
Of all the subjects, physical education is given a higher priority here (2-3 pairs of one physical education per week).
Immediately after the meeting, we were expected to communicate with the curators. They, like experienced people, warned us that it was not worth complaining about teachers who like to skip classes - "it can cost you more." Also, the curators told us that in the process of reducing the size of the group, by the last year the remaining students will most likely be transferred to another, as a result of which they will receive a diploma not in the specialty that they originally wanted. We learned that already at the very beginning of training, the money issue is acute. For each book borrowed from the institute's library, you must make a deposit of 100 rubles. Maybe this is a small amount, but given the fact that under the constant pressure of teachers, "who also want to eat," you will have to buy their essentially unnecessary training manuals more than once, for the entire time of study you will have to fork out a lot.
Perhaps the conversation with the curators was the last straw. I firmly decided to pick up the documents. But I didn't manage to do it without adventures. Again, I managed to get through to the selection committee with a drumbeat. I was told where and on what day I should come for my documents. The guards at the checkpoint did not want to let me and my mother through. When we got to the dean's office, we faced absolute, total devastation reigning within its walls. You will not be able to find the markup of floor numbers and audiences here. Having spent a lot of effort and wasting more than one hour of time, I found out the treasured information where my documents are actually located. As it turned out, I also had to write a letter of resignation. When everything was ready, the administration needed to make sure that my parents knew about my decision. Simply put, they had to give their consent. The fact that they didn’t tell me over the phone that one of my parents should be with me, once again proves the carelessness and indifference to the people of this institute. As a result, the attitude of the administration towards applicants can be safely called boorish, unresponsive, disregarding. The level of hypocrisy in all employees just rolls over. Their sky-high self-esteem prevents them from seeing the obvious.
Do not repeat my mistake, before entering, carefully study the reviews of applicants and students regarding the university of your dreams!
