Kazan Aviation Institute Designs

[Cy-27]

The Kazan Aviation Institute was started in 1932 as a school training aeronautical engineers to replace the aerodynamics division of the University of Kazan.
Further aviation work led to specialisms in instrument-making, radio and electronics, and machine-building industries.

The organisation produced many experimental and research types, especially during the Soviet era of Russian history.

The two pilots and ten (according to other sources - six) passengers were in the fuselage, which had even a toilet. The design was thought to provide a sound basis for any cargo or military transport roles that may follow. In August 1937 under the leadership of M. Parvitskoy it was built at the factory number 124 in the 18th workshop. It was fitted with a pair of MG-31 (300 hp). At that time Stalin and his government shown little interest in civil projects and the KAI-4/DKL was dropped (DKL = двухмоторный, краевой, линейный).

A wing-in-ground-effect (WIG) design from the Kazan Aviation Institute under the leadership of Vyacheslav Firsov, Professor of Structural Mechanics. In September 2007 it was at the experimental prototype stage of flight testing. The aeroplane had rectangular wing and strongly developed horizontal tail. The wing was free of mechanization and controls. This and simplified the design and manufacturing technology of the wing. The machine was made entirely of fiberglass with extensive use of sandwich structures. The fuselage and wing had a single-curvature that minimized the amount of tooling required.

Kazan KAI Kruiz

Kazan KAI KAI-VT
Advanced Unmanned Flying Wing (2010s)
A project which was characterized by its simple design. I was to be balanced in all flight modes with the ability to perform horizontal flight, vertical take-off and landing and hover in one place.

Kazan KAI Tandem Scheme Project
Advanced Passenger Transport
An aeroplane tandem scheme project with all-moving wings allowing for horizontal (or nearly horizontal) position of the fuselage on take-off, landing and during the flight of the aircraft. Two equal sized passenger fuselages each with its own wing and helped reduced the weight of the fuselage of the aircraft structure as a whole. The two engines were rear mounted.

Kazan KAI Short Haul Twin
Advanced Twin Utility Transport
Specific design of the aircraft is that most of the primary structure is made of composite materials. A twin engine type for business or short haul use the wings featured winglets and the type was to have a T-tail configuration. The selected power plant were two Czech Walter M601E.

Other Projects from 2010:

Aircraft with rotary wings - Butterfly wings directly change the lift. The fuselage of the aircraft is always in the horizontal position. The desired angle of attack is created by turning the wing.

Kazan KAI-UK-1
Light Aeroplane (1940)

The last aircraft built in KAI before The Great Patriotic War was the design UK-1 (Elastic wing). Information on it is very sparse.

In 1938, on the instructions of TsAGI, the Design Bureau under the guidance of GN Vorobiev, were working on an experimental two-seat monoplane with MV-6 (220 hp) engine . It was supposed to create two versions of the wing - the ordinary wooden (UK-1B), and elastic, mixed construction (UK-1A). The design involved some form of wing twisting designed and built in 1940, next year the aircraft was transferred to TsAGI, but due to the advent of the war is was not completed.

The institute's archive folder holds a letter from Vorobyov of TSAGI from 21 June 1940 on the status of work on the flight instance UK-1.
It was reported that "the aircraft with a normal wing is ready for the transfer to the airfield for final assembly and flight tests". Nothing more is known.

Ну, а что в Советском Союзе? В 1932 году конструкторы Г. Заславский и А. Бас-Дубов начали работы над 1-моторной «рамой» ПИ – пушечный истребитель (слева вверху) под безоткатные орудия Курческого, но самолёт так и не построили. Зато в 1942 году в Казани был облетан экспериментальный 2-балочный планёр А. Сенькова «ЛС» (слева внизу), а в 1948 году там же был поднят в воздух классический «рамный» планёр Т-1 конструкторов Г. Бакшаева и Г. Воробьева (справа вверху), предназначенный для десантирования 16 солдат. Остался в проекте 2-балочный 2-моторный штурмовик В. Ильюшина МШ 1942 года, в литературе часто называемый Ил-6/МШ-2 (справа внизу).

I guess ???

Thank you my dears Maveric and Deltafan,

I forget it,its here.

The LS may have been a TsAGI led design. (Tsentrahl'nyy Aerodinamicheskiy i Ghidrodinamicheskiy Institoot- Central Aerodynamics and Hydrodynamics Institute) also translated as CAHI (as in the test image above) or ZAGI.

Found too these russian links about KAI-1 (It seems that there is some confusion between KAI-1 and KAI-3, to the extent that KAI-1 number 3 has become KAI-3)
