State Aviation Museum Zhuliany - Kyiv
by Jan Koppen   
​            

In June 2018, I visited, with several aviation friends, the Ukraine. Next to a a very interesting visit to Chernobyl, the Aviation Technical School in Kyiv and a Motor Sich An-24 flight to Odesa, we re-visited the State Aviation Museum at Zhuliany Airport.

Foto
​The museum opened its doors to the public on 30 September 2003, with Yuriy Ziatdinov as curator. Both the premises and the planes are provided by the National Aviation University which continues to use some of the exhibits as educational props on site.

Foto
Before her re-spray in Aeroflot uniform, several months ago, she was seen at the museum without titles and UR-UCI (2) registration to commemorate the “real” UR-UCI (1), which was tragically lost on landing Asmara, Eritrea, July 17, 1998. 

Foto
This IL-76MD was first seen on December 5, 1978 in Moscow-SVO, (originally as IL-76T). She was registered on March 16, 1979, for Aeroflot International directorate as CCCP-76511. Her registration was cancelled from the fleet register in 1980 and she was donated to the Kiev Institute of Civil Engineering as instructional airframe.

First prototype! - First flight December 22, 1976 from Moscow - Khodynka. First public appearance Paris, Le Bourget Airshow, June 15 1979. To Kiev Institute of Civil Engineering and after 2002 donated to the Kiev state Museum of Aviation. 

Many airports had terminals too small for Aerobuses. In the West, the solution to this involved constructing greater airport capacity. By contrast, Soviet aviation research institutes addressed ways of increasing passenger throughput without the need for additional airport capacity.
​
Many Soviet airports also had surfaces too weak for Aerobuses. The Soviet solution again favored adapting aircraft to existing conditions, rather than reconstructing airports. The Aerobus thus had to match the ground loadings of existing airliners. This called for complex multi-wheel landing gear.

The Soviet solution to the airport capacity issue involved passengers loading and unloading their own luggage into and from the aircraft. This was eventually called "the luggage at hand system". Taking suitcases into the cabin, as in trains, was studied, but necessitated a 3 meter fuselage extension with a 350-seat capacity. To avoid this, passengers were to deposit their luggage in underfloor compartments as they entered the airliner.

Foto
The main problem facing the Il-86 was the lack of a suitable engine. The Kuznetsov NK-8 series engine, adopted on March 26, 1975, had only a bypass ratio of 1.15 to 1 and drag-inducing grilles over its cascade thrust reversers. This engine had high specific fuel consumption and was noisy.

CCCP-86696 is an Ilyushin 62 (c/n. 21205) of Aeroflot.

Registered October 27, 1972 to Aeroflot Kazakhstan directorate. On April 3, 1974 she had an incident at Moscow-Domodedovo. In 1985 she was cancelled from the state registry. First noted here in Zhuliany Museum on October 6, 2003.

What a beautiful paint job.

CCCP-75634 is a very early production model. Her first flight was on October 26 1957, with this, original, CCCP-75634 registration. She was registered on April 3, 1958 to the Soviet State Scientific Research Institute of Civil Aviation, Civil Air Fleet (GOS NII GVF). Keep in mind; - The IL-18A never flew for Aeroflot. She was cancelled from the civil aviation register on May 18, 1966. The aircraft was seen in this early Aeroflot livery between June 1993 and August 2002 in Kiev Institute of Civil Engineering. Donated and transferred to the Ukrainian State Museum of Aviation, where restored and seen first here in October, 2003.

This is an Avia-14P, the Czechoslovak licensed manufactured variant of the original Ilyushin type. Only 203 Avia-14s were built between 1956 and 1960 at Letnany.

Wing fences, also known as boundary layer fences and potential fences are fixed aerodynamic devices attached to aircraft wings. Often seen on swept-wing aircraft, wing fences are flat plates fixed to the upper surfaces parallel to the airflow, typically wrapping around the leading edge. By obstructing span-wise airflow along the wing, they prevent the entire wing from stalling at once, as opposed to wingtip devices, which increase aerodynamic efficiency by seeking to recover wing vortex energy.

Tail Turret of a Tupolev Tu-142M with the Gryazev-Shipunov Gsh-23 guns. 

Foto
The Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-23 is a twin-barreled 23 mm autocannon developed in the Soviet Union, primarily for military aircraft use. It entered service in 1965.
 
The GSh-23 works on the Gast Gun principle developed by German engineer Karl Gast of the Vorwerk company in 1916. It is a twin-barreled weapon in which the firing action of one barrel operates the mechanism of the other. It provides a much faster rate of fire for lower mechanical wear than a single-barrel weapon.
​
Although it cannot match the sustained rate of fire of an electric Gatling gun like the M61 Vulcan, its initial rate of fire can be higher than that of a rotary cannon like the M61 due to it not needing to spin up to fire. It requires no external power source to operate, but is instead powered by the recoiling of the floating barrels, somewhat like the action of the German MG-42. The Gast principle has been little used in the West, but was popular in the former Soviet Union on a variety of weapons.

Foto
A red star became one of the emblems, symbols and signals representing the Soviet Union, alongside the hammer and sickle. In Soviet heraldry, the red star symbolized the Red Army and military service, as opposed to the hammer and sickle, which symbolized peaceful labor.

The Kuznetsov NK-12 is a Soviet turboprop engine of the 1950s, designed by the Kuznetsov design bureau. The NK-12 drives two large four-bladed contra-rotating propellers, 5.6 m (18 ft) diameter (NK-12MA), and 6.2 m (20 ft) diameter (NK-12MV). It is the most powerful turboprop engine to enter service.​

​

​The later Tu-22M3 Backfire-C, which first flew in 1977, introduced into operation in 1983 and officially entered service in 1989, had new NK-25 engines with substantially more power, wedge-shaped intake ramps similar to the MiG-25, wings with greater maximum sweep and a recontoured nose housing a new Almaz PNA navigation/attack radar and NK-45 nav/attack system, which provides much-improved low-altitude flight. The aerodynamic changes increased its top speed to Mach 2.05 and its range by one third compared to the Tu-22M-2. It has a revised tail turret with a single cannon. It was nicknamed Troika ('Trio' or third) in Russian service. 268 were built until 1993.
​
As built, the Tu-22M included the provision for a retractable probe in the upper part of the nose for aerial refueling. The probe was reportedly removed as a result of the SALT negotiations, because with refueling it was considered an intercontinental range strategic bomber. The probe can be reinstated if needed.
