The profession of a test pilot has always been surrounded by a romantic aura. They were the first to sit at the controls of new aircraft, set the first records for altitude and flight range, tested machines in extreme conditions and constantly put their lives in danger. In this issue, we will tell you about outstanding Soviet test pilots. Why Konstantin Artseulov deliberately put planes into a spin, how Mikhail Gromov prepared for record-breaking flights, what led to the crash of the legendary Maxim Gorky aircraft, why Valery Chkalov was not afraid to fly "unfinished" aircraft and often neglected safety measures in flight, and why Eduard Elyan is called the "godfather" of the first Soviet supersonic aircraft Tu-144. We will also tell you how Russian test pilots work and what tasks they perform in the sky.
