Vladimir Vetchinkin

Vladimir Petrovich Wettschinkin (Russian: Владимир Петрович Ветчинкин, scientific transliteration Vladimir Petrovich Vetčinkin; * 17.jul / June 29 1888greg in Kutno, .. † March 6, 1950 in Moscow) was a Soviet aerodynamics.

As a student he was a student Zhukovsky. Both worked together in 1913 at the Technical University of Moscow, the theory of the propeller. 1915 closed Wettschinkin his studies and was at the TH high school teacher. In 1918 he was a co-founder of TsAGI. In 1927 he was appointed Doctor of Technical Sciences and received the 1943 National Award. As a professor, he taught both at his old Hochule and at the Ordzhonikidze Institute and the Zhukovsky Academy.

Wettschinkin stood out particularly as an applied mathematician. He calculated and solved problems of strength of aircraft structures, particularly of the air screw and cell. Because of his work, the limits of the load factor of aircraft could be calculated in advance and so be directly integrated into the design.

His major publications were in 1927 and 1933 dynamics of the flight dynamics of the aircraft. Moreover, it also published in other areas, such as navigation, ballistics and jet aircraft. From 1956 to 1959 his collected works in a Moscow publishing house published in two volumes in Russian.

Wettschinkin was a member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. According to him, a lunar crater is named.
