At Koktebel in the 1920s a sports and glider airfield ( 45 ° 1 ′ 8.2 ″  N , 35 ° 12 ′ 31.6 ″  E ), a Soviet center for testing new gliders , was built with Planerskoje (German glider town ) has been. Different wing profiles and positions were tested, including flying wing and delta wing . From 1923, the Soviet All-Union glider competitions were performed there, where some aerospace engineers later become known, such as the former aircraft student Sergei Ilyushin , Vladimir Pyschnow and Mikhail Tikhonravov , the student Oleg Antonov , the laborer Alexander Yakovlev and the subsequent rocket builders Sergei Korolev with their often self-built gliders took part. In July 1929 a gliding school was opened by the OSSOAWIACHIM organization .

There were also connections to German glider pioneers. Soviet glider pilots were represented with their designs several times at the annual Rhön competitions on the Wasserkuppe in the 1920s , for example in 1925 with the AWF-21 Moskva built by Sergei Ilyushin . In return, a group of German glider pilots, including Gottlob Espenlaub , Arthur Martens and Ferdinand Schulz, took part in the All Union competition at the invitation of Soviet aviators . In 1932, for example, three German pilots from the Sturmvogel workers' flight club also completed their glider training in Koktebel , among others with the later test pilot Sergei Anochin , who was working here as a flight instructor at the time.

A museum on the edge of the runway in Planerskoje shows the development of Soviet gliding in small models from that time .
