After completing his studies in 1927, Gorbunow was sent to the new aircraft factory No. 22 in Fili as head of the technical office . This aircraft plant No. 22, founded in 1927, was previously the State Aircraft Plant No. 7, which was created in 1922 from the Russo-Balt -Automobilwerk in Fili through cooperation with Junkers . After the start of the German-Soviet War , the plant was relocated to Kazan in December 1941 . It later merged with other plants to form the GKNPZ Khrunichev Research and Development Center .

Gorbunov's wife also flew with them to visit their children, who were relaxing in the Crimea . The plane crashed near Lopasnja south of Podolsk with no survivors. Gorbunov's urn was buried in the Donskoy cemetery .
