TsAGI
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Zhukovsky Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute)
TsAGI is a transliteration of the Russian abbreviation for Центра́льный аэрогидродинами́ческий институ́т (ЦАГИ) or "Tsentralniy Aerogidrodinamicheskiy Institut", the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute. It was founded in Moscow by the pioneer of Russian aviation, Nikolai Yegorovich Zhukovsky on December 1, 1918.
Since 1935 it is located at the city of Zhukovsky, Moscow Oblast.
It is roughly the equivalent to some of United States' NACA and NASA programs.
Among its latest developments are the rocket Energiya and the Space Shuttle Buran.
