Su Huoyi was born in a small village in Belarus. 1900, Su Huoyi's father was appointed as the principal of the local railway primary school in Gomel town. So his family moved to town. My father not only works hard, but also likes collecting books. Su Huoyi likes reading since he was a child, and he has read most of his father's books. The learning atmosphere in Su Huoyi's home is very strong. Every night, the whole family sits around the table and reads the newspaper. In order to educate the next generation, my father also proposed to run a family magazine: Young Generation, and every family member is a contributor to this magazine. Good family education and learning atmosphere laid the foundation for Su Huoyi's growth. Su Huoyi first became interested in airplanes when he was in the fourth grade of middle school. Later, he took making airplane models as his greatest hobby. After he was admitted to the Department of Physics and Mathematics of Moscow University, he had the opportunity to take the aviation theory course of Professor Nikolai zhukovsky, who is known as the "father of Soviet aviation", which largely determined Su Huoyi's future career.

Later, influenced by the war, he interrupted his studies, enlisted in the army, and joined the artillery force. At the front, Su Huoyi personally experienced the backwardness of Russian equipment at that time and saw the important role of the Air Force. From then on, he decided to devote himself to aviation and vowed to develop combat aircraft.

After the victory of the October Revolution, he returned to his hometown. Life was hard at that time. Su Huoyi was unfortunately infected with typhus on his way to the countryside to buy food, and he was seriously ill. It never rains but it pours. Just as his typhoid fever got better, he got scarlet fever again. Due to the limited medical conditions at that time, Su Huoyi's illness dragged on for a long time, and finally his throat was difficult to pronounce. When he was a teenager, Su Huoyi had a high musical talent and liked singing very much. However, after this serious illness, Su Huoyi not only can't sing any more, but sometimes even has difficulty in speaking. His voice is very low. Perhaps it is for this reason that Su Huoyi gives the impression that he is always thoughtful and never boasts.

1920, the Soviet government decided that college students could go back to school to continue their studies. 192 1 autumn, Su Huoyi returned to Moscow to study at Bowman Technical University in Moscow. Life at that time was extremely hard. In winter, college students have to curl up in coats all day, rubbing their hands in anger and listening to teachers (including Professor zhukovsky). In order to work part-time, I have to unload at the train station in my spare time and do manual work at the moscow river pier, so that I can earn some money to make a living. Su Huoyi lives in a dormitory. Because the room is small, everyone can only sleep on the floor in turn. This hard life and environment tempered Su Huoyi's endurance, indomitable style and self-control.

1924, before Su Huoyi graduated, he began to work as a cartographer in the Central Institute of Fluid Mechanics, and did graduation design under the guidance of tupolev. A year later, Su Huoyi completed the design scheme of a 300-horsepower single-seat fighter, and passed the graduation design defense of this topic. Tupolev is very talented, so he stays with him to work. Since then, Su Huoyi has officially entered the aviation industry. Because of his outstanding performance in his work, Su Huoyi's talent gradually emerged, which not only attracted tupolev's attention, but also made him take on a heavy responsibility. An aircraft design group with Su Huoyi as the core is gradually taking shape.

1930, Su Huoyi served as the fourth design team leader of the aircraft development department of the Central Institute of Fluid Mechanics; Since 1932, he has been the leader of the third design team. Soon, Su Huoyi became the design director of the No.1 156 factory of National Aviation (located in Irkutsk under the tupolev Design Bureau). The greatest success in this period was the record-breaking aircraft Ante -25 and Ante -37 "Motherland", which set many world records. Later, on the basis of these two models, they were converted into дб- 1 and дб-2 bombers.

According to the order of the former Soviet National Defense Commission1936 65438+February 7th, Su Huoyi led a group of people to start developing Ante -5 1 single-engine all-metal high-speed attack reconnaissance plane. The aircraft was developed in February 1937, and the prototype was built in only six months. 1in April, 939, the machine was approved for production, with the serial number бб- 1.

1In the autumn of 969, Sukhoi Design Bureau began to develop the fourth generation supersonic fighter (called the third generation in the west), and its prototype number was T- 10, which was the prototype of the famous Su -27 fighter. The aircraft adopts wing-body fusion technology and fly-by-wire control system; Relaxed static instability design, double vertical tail, medium swept wing with strakes. The research on the aerodynamic layout, structural design and components of Su -27 has been carried out for more than five years, which can be described as Excellence. When the design of Su -27 was initially completed, Sukhoi Design Bureau suffered another heavy loss: Barville Osipovich Su Huoyi, founder and chief designer of Sukhoi Design Bureau, died on September 1975 at the age of 80.
