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) the course began theoretical foundations aeronautics.
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 University was transformed into the aeromechanical faculty.
On March 20, 1930, on the basis of the Aeromechanical Faculty of the Moscow Higher Technical University, by order of the Supreme Council of National Economy of the USSR, the Higher Aeromechanical School (VAMU) was created.
On August 20, 1930, on the basis of VAMU, the Moscow aviation institute. At first, classes were held on Olkhovskaya Street, then the university was given a building on 5th Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street. Back to top academic year(1930-1931) students of the Leningrad Aviation Faculty were transferred to VAMU Polytechnic Institute- 120 people - and Tomsk Technological Institute - 19 people. MAI, like VAMU, had three departments: aircraft manufacturing, engine building and aeronautics.
In 1930-1931, the structure of the institute was formed. The Aeronautical Faculty was renamed the Airship Building Faculty.
On September 22, 1932, by the decision of the Central Control Commission-RKI, on the basis of the Airship Construction Faculty of the Moscow Aviation Institute, the Moscow Airship Construction 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 Civil Engineers air fleet them. 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 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 was given to the People's Commissar of Heavy Industry Sergo Ordzhonikidze.
By the autumn of 1941, the government decided to evacuate the institute to Alma-Ata. After the defeat of the Germans near Moscow, the question was raised about resuming the activities of the institute in Moscow, and already on February 2, 1942, the educational process began in the Moscow premises of the institute.
In 1945, the merits of the MAI team 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 construction of the MAI was carried out. Number of classroom buildings, educational and scientific laboratories, production premises brought to 35. With the growth of the institute, its structure also 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, providing training for a wide range of scientific and design organizations in the aviation and rocket and space industries.
In 1959, the Department of Aircraft Design and Construction was created to train specialists in the field of rocket and space technology. From the moment of its organization until 1990, the department was headed by the first deputy chief designer S.P. Korolev, academician V.P. Mishin (MAI graduate 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 subsequent organization (1968) of the Aerospace Faculty.
In 1967, the first student design bureau for space technology in the USSR, Iskra, was created at the Department of Aircraft Design and Construction.
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 MAI worked at BTI from 1970 to 1974.
On October 26, 1978, the first successful launch of the student artificial Earth satellite “Radio-2”, created by the SKB MAI “Iskra”, was carried out in the Soviet Union.
In 1980, for its 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 created, which trains public relations specialists and linguists for the aviation industry.

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 relevant qualifications in this industry. Initiator of creation special centers Professor N. E. Zhukovsky became the head of the department for research and training of engineering personnel. Understanding the importance of this issue, in 1930, on the basis of the Aeromechanical Faculty of the Moscow Higher Technical University, VAMU (Higher Aeromechanical School) was organized with an aeronautics, engine-building and aircraft-building department. In August 1930, this institution was renamed the Moscow Aviation Institute.
In the memorable year 1930, the first release of a large number of aviation engineers, many of whom joined the teaching staff of the educational institution. During the same period, graduate school appeared, which enrolled designers and scientists who later became widely known.
The structure of the educational institution was constantly improved, adapting to new requirements and discoveries in the aviation industry. That is why, in 1933, the institute established a faculty of engineering and economics, which trained specialists in such areas as economics and 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 squad. After the war, specialized lecture courses and experimental installations on rocket and jet engines began to be developed at MAI to train specialists, taking into account new discoveries in science. In the 50s, departments for designing and designing rockets were opened, and in the 80s, the MAI-89 ultralight aircraft was developed, which subsequently set a record for the speed of ascent to a height of three thousand meters. In 1998, the Moscow Aviation Institute received a certificate confirming the right to develop light civil aircraft.
Today the university is recruiting students for the following faculties:
- Aviation technology;
- Aerospace;
