The glory of Russian aviation is born in the quiet of design bureaus, among pragmatic romantics who gave man wings and taught large machines not only to fly, but also to swim. Specialists of PJSC TANTK named after. G. M. Beriev have been working in the aircraft industry for more than 80 years and during this time they have created several generations of aircraft technology.
For reconnaissance and combat
The Taganrog Aviation Scientific and Technical Complex named after G. M. Beriev was founded on October 1, 1938. The first head of the organization was whose name would later be given to the complex. In the pre-war years, the engineers and developers of the institution created the MBR-2 aircraft, intended for short-range maritime reconnaissance; Beriev created their prototype in 1932. Also successful was the production of ship-borne seaplanes "KOR-1" and "KOR-2", which were launched into flight using a ship's catapult. Both cars took an active part in the Great Patriotic War.
In the post-war period, the need arose for air security of state borders. At TANTK named after. Beriev began developing a flying boat of the Be-6 type. The idea turned out to be successful, and production was launched, which began in 1956. In total, 123 copies of the Be-6 were released, produced in 19 series; production lasted for 5 years.
Post-war years
In the 1950s they produced jet planes with the possibility of water landing "Be-10". They were developed for long-range reconnaissance with the ability to drop bombs and torpedoes against targets on the high seas, naval bases and installations. The ability of the aircraft to lay mine barriers was also required. Serial production of amphibious aircraft began in 1957.
The task was completed in record time. The design was complex, and the engineers of TANTK named after. G. M. Beriev had to constantly refine it. In October 1961, a tragedy occurred with an aircraft of this type: during an air parade in Moscow, one of them crashed. The aircraft was not put into service; a total of 30 Be-10 units were produced. Despite its significant shortcomings, the Be-10 was a great success. With its help, twelve world records were set, the most significant of which, the speed record for amphibious aircraft (912 km/h), has not yet been broken. The model was completely withdrawn from service in 1968.
Developments of the 60-80s
In 1968 the first chief designer G. M. Beriev retired; it was a necessary measure - his health had failed. The latest development of the bureau under the leadership of the master was the Be-30 civil aircraft; politics prevented its release. After 25 years, they returned to the idea and brought it to life. The Be-32K aircraft took part in the Paris exhibition and aroused interest among industry specialists at the international level.
At the end of the seventies, TANTK named after G. M. Beriev mastered a new specialization - the development and production of A-50 long-range detection and guidance radar systems, as well as the development of Tu-142MR systems providing ultra-long-range communications. The base for them was to serve as aircraft in service. During the same period, the design bureau began work on creating a unique aircraft that would be the pride of the domestic aircraft industry - the super-heavy jet "A-40".
"Albatross"
"Albatross" or "A-40" is the most protracted project of TANTK named after. Beriev, who later became a sensation. Two prototypes were manufactured on the basis of the design bureau. Flights started in 1987, during its history the Albatross set 143 world flight records and became a sensation at all exhibitions. The military model "A-40" is equipped with equipment adapted to transport more than 6 tons of bombs, torpedoes and other weapons.
In the early 90s, negotiations were held with leading foreign countries. Great Britain has expressed its intention to replace its amphibious patrol fleet with the A-40. But the period during which the negotiation processes took place was a crisis for Russia. The leadership of the Navy notified the Design Bureau named after. Beriev about the freezing of funding and the lack of need for the army in aircraft of this class.
PJSC TANTK Beriev designed three modifications of this model - passenger, transport and rescue. In the passenger model, the cabin is designed for 105 passengers. There are no customers or buyers for these aircraft yet. At the same time, design bureaus believe that the situation will change for the better, since the Albatross is an ideal amphibious aircraft for use in offshore oil and gas production.
Modernity
Today TANTK named after. Berieva develops and implements seaplanes for many areas economic activity countries. On the basis of the Irkutsk Aviation Enterprise, the Be-200 multi-purpose aircraft was developed:
- For the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation.
- Fire-fighting purpose (takes on board up to 12 tons of water).
- Cargo and passenger purposes.
The company modernized Be-12 seaplanes, which had already participated in extinguishing fires in Chukotka, the Irkutsk region, and the Crimean Peninsula. The Be-12NX transport model has found application in the Far North and is used for cargo transportation on Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands.
One of the latest design developments of the Design Bureau named after. Beriev became the seaplane "Be-103" - a light model for passenger transportation(5-6 people). Projects "Be-112", "Be-114", promising direction giant seaplanes are becoming, with a take-off weight of more than 1000 tons.

Taganrog Aviation Scientific and Technical Complex (TANTK) named after. G.M. Beriev. Founded 01.10.1934. It was then that by order No. 244/260 of the GUAP it was decided to create the Central Design Bureau of Marine Aircraft Manufacturing (TsKB MS) in Taganrog. Engineer G.M. was appointed chief designer. Beriev. The activities of the Central Design Bureau MS began with the organization of mass production of the MBR-2 seaplane with an M-17 engine and the development of the KOR-1 shipborne reconnaissance aircraft. The construction of the serial MBR-2 was carried out at plant No. 31, where the Central Design Bureau MS was created. In parallel with the development of KOR-1, the modernization of the MBR-2 aircraft was underway. New M-34 and M-107 engines were installed, a closed cockpit was installed, the external shape of the aircraft was improved, and options for transporting cargo and passengers were developed. A total of 1,365 such vehicles were built before 1940, including passenger and transport versions of the MP-1 and MP-IT. These machines were the main aircraft of the country's naval aviation. In 1938, pilots Raskova, Osipenko and Lomako set six international records on this plane, making a long-distance flight along the route Sevastopol - Kyiv - Novgorod - Arkhangelsk. In 1935, the TsKB MS was developing the long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft MDR-5, but it did not go into production, since the MDR-6, designed by Chetverikov, was already ready. In 1938, a new seaplane, the MBR-7, was created, but after two disasters experimental machines, work on it was stopped. In 1937-1938, the team of the Central Design Bureau MS joined the work on preparing for the serial construction of the licensed American flying boat PBY-1. This aircraft was launched into series under the name GST with domestic engines. After construction prototype KOR-1 began its flight tests, and later it was launched into a small series. At the same time, in 1938, Beriev created a new shipborne reconnaissance aircraft, KOR-2, which, after testing, was put into production after the Central Design Bureau MS moved from Taganrog to Savelovo near Moscow. This is where the war began. TsKB MS was evacuated first to Omsk, and then to Krasnoyarsk, where it remained until 1945. During these difficult years, they not only built the serial KOR-2, but also worked on projects for future aircraft. A twin-engine high-speed fighter B-10, a dive-torpedo bomber, and an armored attack aircraft were developed, but the main attention was paid to naval aircraft. In 1943, the long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft LL-143 was built, and in 1944, on its basis, a model of the passenger seaplane PLL-144 was created. When the OKB returned to Taganrog in 1946, they brought with them the disassembled LL-143. The tests in Taganrog were successful, and soon the Be-6 naval long-range reconnaissance aircraft with ASh-73 engines was created at the base. The first flight took place on November 4, 1947. It was mass-produced in 1952-1957. This aircraft was in service with the Navy and polar aviation for about 20 years, and several aircraft are still in service with the Chinese Navy. For this aircraft, chief designer G.M. Beriev was awarded the State Prize. In 1948, the Be-8 light amphibious aircraft with an ASh-21 engine was developed, built and flight tested. With the development of the era of jet aviation, the question arose about creating an aircraft with a turbocharger. jet engines . And such a plane was created. In the process of working on this aircraft, we had to face many problems. They were successfully resolved, and May 30, 1952 went down in the history of naval aircraft construction as a significant date, the beginning of the jet era. On this day, the first jet flying boat R-1 took to the skies for the first time. Much work culminated in the creation of the Be-10 high-speed jet flying boat, which was demonstrated at the parade in Tushino in 1961. The Be-10 caused a real sensation all over the world. The Be-10 aircraft was serially built in 1956-1961. This plane set 12 world records, including a speed record of 912 km/h, which has not yet been broken. Around the same time, the task was received to develop a projectile aircraft for launch from submarines. This problem was successfully solved by OKB specialists under the leadership of Bogatyrev. The P-10 projectile aircraft was created and successfully tested. Then the OKB was faced with the task of creating an aircraft to search and destroy submarines. For this purpose, the Be-12 amphibious aircraft was developed, built and successfully flight tested. Equipped with two turboprop engines, it could control a given area of the sea for a long time. The first test flight took place on October 18, 1960. The aircraft was put into production and was built from 1963 to 1973. A total of 140 aircraft were built. This aircraft is still in service with the Navy today. The Be-12 set 42 world records. This aircraft was also built as a search and rescue version of the Be-12PS. In 1963, the hydroplane GL-1 was created for research purposes. It investigated the issues of movement near the water surface and the influence of the screen effect. In 1968, flight tests of the light passenger short takeoff and landing aircraft Be-30 began. The first flight took place on June 8, 1968. Then the aircraft was successfully tested in various climatic conditions and received positive feedback from flight and technical services. The experimental Be-30 aircraft was demonstrated in 1969 at the 28th international show in Le Bourget and was highly praised by experts. But for reasons beyond the control of the Design Bureau, it did not go into production. At the same time, the OKB was carrying out work to modernize the An-24 aircraft. The improved An-24FK passed state tests and was then built in series as the An-30. At the end of 1968, instead of G.M., who went to work in Moscow. Beriev's chief designer was A.K. Konstantinov. Under his leadership, the OKB team developed the A-50 long-range radar patrol aircraft, which successfully passed tests and was mass-produced. This aircraft is still in service with the Russian Air Force today. During these same years, the Design Bureau solved maritime problems. An experimental vertical take-off and landing amphibious aircraft VVA-14 is being developed and built under the leadership of R.L. Bartini. These works were carried out during 1968-1975, and they gave important results for promising works, many of which are unique in world aviation today. The design bureau's most important direction is the creation of an anti-submarine aircraft system with high mobility and significant lethality potential. Thus, the Design Bureau developed and built the A-40 Albatross anti-submarine amphibious aircraft. The creation of the Albatross is actually the revival of hydroaviation in our country. This is the world's largest amphibious aircraft, it has unique flight performance and seaworthiness characteristics. During testing, 126 world records have already been set on it. The first flight of this aircraft took place on December 8, 1986. Over the years, the A-40 amphibious aircraft has been demonstrated at major international aviation exhibitions in France, Singapore, New Zealand, and Great Britain. He is a participant in the Mosaeroshow and two seaplane air shows in Gelendzhik in 1996 and 1998. The A-40 amphibious aircraft is the basis for the development of various modifications. The A-42/44 aircraft has been developed and is in pilot construction, intended for search and rescue and patrol missions at sea. On board such a rescuer A-42, 54 victims can be accommodated. With a full load, the aircraft can cover 2,700 km, and with in-flight refueling - up to 11,000 km. 10.10.1989 Taganrog machine-building plant renamed the Taganrog Aviation Scientific and Technical Complex (TANTK). And by order of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR dated December 6, 1989, TANTK was named after its founder G.M. Beriev. In May 1990, instead of the retired A.K. Konstantinov as chief designer and head of TANTK named after G.M. Beriev became G.S. Panatov, who previously headed the maritime activities of the OKB. Currently, TANTK is doing a lot of work to introduce hydroaviation into economic activity countries. Under the leadership of G.S. Panatov developed the Be-200 multi-purpose civil amphibious aircraft, built at the Irkutsk Aviation Production Association. The Be-200 aircraft will be produced in several modifications: to fight forest fires, to transport passengers and cargo, and to perform work as part of the forces of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations. In the firefighting version, the Be-200 in gliding mode will be able to take on board up to 12 tons of water and drop up to 360 tons of water onto the fire in one refueling. As part of the conversion, Be-12 amphibious aircraft are being modernized. On their basis, the Be-12P firefighting aircraft and the Be-12NX transport aircraft were created. They participated in extinguishing forest fires in the Rostov, Irkutsk regions, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, and Crimea. The Be-12NX is used to transport cargo on the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin. In 1993, the Be-32 aircraft was revived and demonstrated at air shows in Paris, Moscow, Dubai and Berlin. The installation of new P r a t t & W h i t h e y/^HMOB engines on it made it possible to improve its flight performance. The Be-32K aircraft is currently being prepared for serial production. Passenger, cargo, ambulance, landing and administrative options have been developed. One of the latest developments of the TANTK team named after G.M. Beriev is a light amphibious aircraft Be-103. It is being tested and in 1998 was demonstrated at the International Hydroaviation Exhibition in Gelendzhik. Now the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Production Association is preparing to produce the Be-103 amphibious aircraft, designed to carry five to six passengers. The Be-112 multi-role amphibious aircraft is under development. Prospective projects of future giant amphibious aircraft with a take-off weight of over 1000 tons are being developed. S.N. Emelyanov Products developed at TANTK im. G.M. Berieva: 1. Seaplane A-40 “Albatross” is a jet anti-submarine amphibious seaplane, the largest aircraft of its class in the world.
