| to Pass to sections: Application of large airplanes P.N.Nesterov's described above the Feat, is the sample of exclusive courage and samootverzhenija '. Jacob Modestovich has inherited Love to technics and creative abilities from the father. |
brightly presented person who has left an appreciable trace in the Soviet science and the technician, Jacob Modestovich Gakkel (1874-1945) is one of pioneers of domestic aircraft construction. In 1909-24 it has designed about one and a half tens planes of various types inaznachenija, nine of which have been constructed, and six - successfully flied. Качественные 
In 1908 the wave of heightened interest to the arising aircraft has come to Russia, caused by U.Right's successful demonstration flights in Paris, broken all records of the French pilots. setogo year in Russia there are mugs, aeronautics societies, aeroclubs.

Having received from joint-stock company ' Vestingauz ' the solid award for works on the Petersburg tram, it took part in designing and which construction, spring of 1909 konstruktorpristupil to working out of the first plane. thus, apparently, it was more natural to begin with copying of designs already flying in the West - ' rajtov ', ' farmanov ', ' vuazenov ', ' blerio ' etc., that, having mastered already available positive experience, to go further. But Gakkel has gone on other way. Already he tries to find more effective aerodynamic forms in the first device and ratsionalnyekonstruktivnye decisions.
