Arseni Dmitrievich Mironov ( Russian Арсений Дмитриевич Миронов ; born December 12 . Jul / 25. December  1917 greg. In Vladimir , † 3. July 2019 in Zhukovsky ) was a Soviet test pilot , aerodynamics and university teachers .

Life

Mironov's father Dmitri Mironov (1884-1956) worked as an electrical engineer in Klasson - hydroelectric power plant in Noginsk , preferring Mironov enrollment with his family to Moscow to assist in Mosenergo to work. After graduating from the seven-year school in 1932, Mironow completed the two-year Mosenergo school for industrial management and then worked, like his father, as an electrical mechanic in the central Mosenergo workshops. In addition, he began to study at the evening RabFak in 1935 in preparation for studying at the Moscow Energy Institute . As a senior student of the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI) in the Rabfak students for the May study campaigned to Mironov enthusiastic for the aviation and in 1936 student of aircraft - Faculty of May In the MAI aeroclub he completed a flight course and in 1939 flew the Polikarpow Po-2 alone . He learned to fly and parachute . From the fourth year of the course he studied in the new field of flight testing . In 1940 he married his fellow student Olga Evgenjewna Rudnewa (1919–2017), who then worked at Moscow's Gorbunov aircraft plant No. 22.

In May 1941 Mironov began to work in the new Institute for Flight Research (LII) of the USSR in Zhukovsky (originated as an offshoot of the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (ZAGI)), where his wife now also worked. Three days after the start of the German-Soviet War , Mironov began working as a test pilot intern at the LII. In September 1941 he became an engineer in Laboratory No. 2 of the LII, headed by Max Arkadjewitsch Taiz . During the war, he was involved in the work carried out in the LII and in the aircraft factories to investigate and eliminate the reasons for the deterioration in the flight characteristics of the combat aircraft . He took part in test and other flights as a lead engineer, navigator and transport pilot . Under the direction of Grigori Semjonowitsch Kalachev, Mironov worked on control tests in Moscow and Novosibirsk on series aircraft and the MiG-3 , Jak-7B , La-5 and Jak-9U aircraft modified by the ZAGI and LII . In 1943 he was seriously injured in an aircraft accident.

After the war, Mironov was involved in the flow studies carried out in the LII on the initiative of Ivan Wassiljewitsch Ostoslawski in the range of the speed of sound , in which the so-called wing bombs, i.e. flight models with masses of initially 600 kg with a heavy nose and measuring and recording devices, are made from Tu-2- Aircraft (later also Ilyushin Il-28 and Sukhoi Su-7 ) were dropped. In the case of the ballistic trajectories , Mach numbers of 1.05–1.10 were achieved at the specified altitude of 2000–3000 m . The part with the measuring and recording devices detached itself from the model and floated to the ground on a parachute.

After complaints from residents about the noise from MiG-19 - supersonic test flights of the Sokol aircraft factory was on the instructions of the Central Committee of the CPSU in 1957 at LII led Ostoslawskis and Mironov's a program with the test pilot Sergei Nikolayevich Anokhin to investigate the noise pollution started by supersonic flights. This led to rules for supersonic flight, which was only permitted at altitudes above 10,000 m. The results were recorded by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). In 1972 the ICAO founded the Sonic Boom Committee , in which Mironov, as an expert from the USSR, successfully worked on the development of the rules in Appendix 16 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation . After 1978 Mironov was a representative of the USSR in the working group on aircraft noise of the Soviet - French Commission for Aviation - Environmental Protection .

As part of the Soviet space programs , Mironov carried out studies of the effects of weightlessness on humans. To this end, the LII and the Tupolev design office created a flying laboratory (LL) based on the Tupolev Tu-104 in the 1960s . Work began with the test pilot Anochin. Later the LII test pilots Valentin Petrowitsch Wassin and Pyotr Ivanovich Kasmin joined them. The scientists involved included Gai Ilyich Sewerin and Mironov. Equipment with Yuri Alexejewitsch Gagarin , Wladimir Michailowitsch Komarow , Konstantin Petrowitsch Feoktistow , Vladimir Viktorovich Aksjonow and Alexei Stanislawowitsch Yelissejew were tested.

1968–1975 conducted Mironov together with WS Gratschow investigations of the aerodynamic properties of the wings of the supersonic passenger aircraft Tupolew Tu-144, which is under development . Igor Petrowitsch Wolk , Oleg Wassiljewitsch Gudkow and Wladislaw Ilyich Loitschikow were involved in the LL flights . Mironov headed the LII brigade for the state examination of the Sukhoi Su-24 . He participated in the investigation of air accidents , including the crash of Gagarin and Vladimir Sergeyevich Seryogin with a Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 . As a member of the flight sub-commission of the state commission for disaster investigation, he represented a scientific position and refuted conspiracy theories .

Mironov headed Division 2 of the LII. In 1969 he became one of the deputies of the LII boss Viktor Wassiljewitsch Utkin and in 1974 first deputy. After Utkin's death in 1981 Mironov headed the LII until 1985, when Konstantin Konstantinowitsch Wassiltschenko became head of the LII. From the late 1950s to 1988 he participated in the training of students at Chair 106 of the MAI. 1981–1985 he headed a chair in the Faculty of Aeromechanics and Aviation Technology of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MFTI).

In 1985, Mironov moved to the position of sector head in the LII. From June 1996 he worked at the LII as a main research assistant and investigated the influence of the human factor on the safety of pilots .

Mironov's son Michail (* 1944) became a physicist at the Moscow Andreyev Institute for Acoustics at the Russian Academy of Sciences . Mironov's daughter Olga Arsenjewna Maxakowa (* 1946) became a psychotherapist at the Moscow Burdenko Institute for Neurosurgery .
