 Engineer) 



A. A. Mikulin was born February 2, 1895. He is a Major 

 General in Engineer-Technical Service. In 1934 he was elected 

 an Academician of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. He was 

 a Hero of Socialist Labor in 1940. Since 1952 he has been a 

 member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. 



In 1923 Mikulin began to work as a designer in the Scientific 

 Automotor Institute. In 1929, he worked out a plan for AM-34 

 engines, which in 1931 successfully underwent tests. This 

 engine was installed in aircraft in which, in 1937, V. P. Chkalov 

 and M. M. Gromov carried out distant non-stop flights across 

 the North Pole to the U.S.A., and in airplanes which, in 1937, 

 flew from Moscow to the North Pole. Constructed under Miku- 

 lin' s direction, an AM-35 engine was installed in a MIG air- 

 craft. At the time of the World War II, 1941-45, he directed 

 the design of powerful aircraft engines, AM-38f (which were 

 installed in the Sturmovik IL-2) and other designs for aircraft 

 engines. Mikulin introduced the use of rotating blades for the 

 regulation of superchargers and high pressure feed and cooling 

 of intake air. He worked out the first Soviet turbocompressor 

 and variable pitch propeller. After. 1945, a group directed by 

 Mikulin developed jet engines.
