Antonov State Enterprise (SE) and the Igor Sikorsky KPI Department of Aircraft and Rocket Engineering (ARЕ) are developing fruitful cooperation within the framework of the dual education agreement.

At the end of October, Antonov State Enterprise was visited by foreign students of the AL-94 group of the ARЕ Department. Students were accompanied by teachers of the department: the leading design engineer of the State Enterprise "Antonov" Konotop Dmitry Igorovich and the design engineer of the State Enterprise "Antonov" Predachenko Konstantin Olegovich.

The company hospitably welcomed the delegation, conducted tours with an interpreter on the territory, in particular, visited: the static test room, aerobatic stands, the department of technology and research of composite materials and the department of aerodynamics.

In each location, leading specialists and department management talked to students, answering numerous questions. Students were shown modern equipment for the manufacture and testing of structures made of composite materials, shown the purge of the aircraft model in the wind tunnel. Incredible impressions were received from the An ‑ 124 simulator: each student felt like a real pilot.

Cooperation continues, although, unfortunately, there are quarantine restrictions for full-fledged classes at the enterprise, which will be beneficial for both parties to the cooperation.
