Aleksei Isayev, Soviet engineer
Aleksei Isayev (1908-1971), Soviet engineer and rocket scientist. Isayev began his career in aviation. He used engineering qualifications to design the undercarriages for bombers. During the Second World War he was tasked with developing a rocket-powered fighter plane, the BI. With no real Russian experience of working with rockets, the design had to start from scratch. But by the end of the war Isayev was sufficiently knowledgeable to be sent to acquire German rocket technology. After the war he developed engines for surface-to- air and submarine-based missiles

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Aleksei Isayev, a prominent Soviet engineer and rocket scientist. Born in 1908 and passing away in 1971, Isayev made significant contributions to the field of aviation during his career. Initially focusing on designing undercarriages for bombers, he later took on the challenging task of developing a rocket-powered fighter plane called BI during World War II. Despite having no prior experience with rockets, Isayev's engineering qualifications allowed him to start from scratch and create an innovative design. By the war's end, his expertise had grown immensely, leading him to be sent to Germany to acquire their advanced rocket technology. After the war concluded, Isayev continued his groundbreaking work by developing engines for surface-to-air missiles as well as submarine-based missiles. His dedication and knowledge played a crucial role in advancing Soviet Union's capabilities in space flight and rocket science. In this monochrome photograph captured during the fifties era, we see Aleksei Isayev portrayed as a distinguished Caucasian man with an air of determination about him. This image not only pays tribute to his remarkable achievements but also serves as a reminder of his invaluable contributions that shaped history.
