The State Aviation Museum Of Ukraine (Kyiv, Zhuliany)

The State Aviation Museum of Ukraine (Zhuliany) is the youngest and, at the same time, the largest historical museum of the country's technical history. It was established in 2003, and its opening crowned the major date – 100th anniversary of world aviation. Museum is located at the territory of the former Educational Air Base of KIIGA (now NAU), and aircrafts assigned to Base became the core of its collection. However, started with only 30 machines, today Zhulyany owns the exposition of nearly 70 aircraft and helicopters. There are also samples of air weapons and UAVs, as well as an exposition of aircraft engines. The museum fund contains products of almost all leading aviation Design Bureaus of Soviet period – Tupolev, Yakovlev, Ilyushin, Antonov, Sukhoi, Mikoyan-Gurevich, Kamov, Mil, Beriev (in full-scale), as well as replicas from the early twentieth century. The collections are formed according to the aircraft purpose, and according to belonging to a certain Design Bureau (further DB). Tupolev DB is an exception, with a separate "Backfire Collection" that includes missile-bombers Tu-22M. Our exhibition represents one of the most complete collections in the world of Mikoyan and Gurevich Design Bureaus aircrafts, as well as Mil Design Bureau helicopters. Rare MiG-15UTI and Mi-1M are also exhibited here. By the number of experimental and single-unit aircrafts the museum is the second in CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States); only Russian Monino has more. In Zhulyany you can see the first experimental sample of IL-86, the second experimental/first production IL-18, the first production Tu-104, pre-production Tu-134, as well as Tu-22M0 from the experimental series, and others. Each of these machines at the same time is also the oldest sample of its type that survived till our days. The sources of continuous replenishment of museum exhibition became airfields where written-off aircrafts – the historical evidence of the development of domestic aviation – were preserved. These machines were brought into the exposition state due to efforts of Ukrainian aviation industry enterprises, and then took their place at the site in Zhulyany. Basic systems of many aircrafts presented in the museum are still functional. In particular, all electronics of these machines is functioning properly, and moreover, their engine starts were made recently. Visitors always enjoy visiting the cockpit of the IL-62 aircraft and Mi-8 helicopter, because everyone is welcome to sit behind the steering wheel. The close vicinity of operating airport "Kiev" (Zhuliany), which runway is 100 meters behind the transparent fence, adds special flavor to visiting of the museum. From this place, watching taking off and landing is an unforgettable experience for the audience.
