The National Mykola-Schukowskyj University Aerospace (Kharkiv Aviation Institute) ( Ukrainian Національний аерокосмічний університет ім. М.Є. Жуковського , Russian Национальный аэрокосмический университет имени Н. Е. Жуковского , acronym CHAI ) is a university in the Ukrainian city Kharkiv . It is named after Nikolai Zhukovsky .
It was founded in 1930 as the "Kharkov Aviation Institute" and consisted of two faculties, aircraft construction and engine construction. Initially only 12 teachers were employed, teaching 69 students. Under Iossif Neman , a very advanced aircraft design with retractable landing gear, the ChAI-1 , was created in 1932 . In 1935 Lyulka succeeded in building the first jet engine in the USSR. In 1940 the university already had 1,000 students.
During the Second World War , the institute was closed and moved to Kazan until the liberation in 1944 . However, it took until 1952 for all the buildings to be restored and for teaching to return to pre-war dimensions. Missiles and rocket engines have been added to the teaching program. In 1953, the institute's own wind tunnel was put into operation. A telecommunications engineering course was added for telemetry data acquisition .
In the 1960s and 1970s, the institute continued to expand. In 1980 it received the Order of Lenin for its achievements .
After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Kharkiv Aviation Institute was the only educational institution of its kind in Ukraine. Foreign students were admitted for the first time in 1992. In August 1998 the name was changed to National Mykola-Zhukovsky University for Aerospace .
Since its inception, 53,000 engineers have successfully graduated from the university (as of 2001). Today 5,516 students (as of 2020), who are taught by 947 teachers, 72 of them professors (as of 2018), study at the university.
