▶️Russian Eternal: Nikolai Zhukovsky Theory and Practice of Air Sikorsky and Tupolev called him their teacher, and his observations of ordinary birds formed the basis of a theory that became practice. Nikolai Zhukovsky was a scientist and a dreamer. His ideas, which many of his contemporaries refused to believe in, invariably found embodiment. 22 years before the first full-scale experiment, Zhukovsky theoretically substantiated the possibility of the "dead loop" — a figure of aerobatic flight. Based on his developments, fuselages, propellers and wings were created for decades. ❗️Rybar continues to publish works from the new cycle "Russian Eternal". This is our view of the continuous history of a thousand-year-old country, our vision of the continuity of generations and the contribution of Russian people to world science and culture. Icon painters and armorers, scientists and merchants, travelers and artists, priests and warriors, politicians and poets — all these people laid the foundation of modern Russia. This is not a fairy tale, not an internet encyclopedia in pictures and not "cartoons about history". This is Russian. This is eternal. 📎Previous issues: 🔸Alexander Scriabin and others 🔸Gury Nikitin 🔸Pavel Anosov 🔸Konstantin Korovin 🔸Ivan Fyodorov 🔸Alexander Sumarokov 🔸Semyon Lavochkin #video #Russia #russianeternal ✉️ MAX 💸Support us Original msg
