Robert Ludvigovich Bartini
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Robert Ludvigovich Bartini (or Roberto Oros di Bartini) (1897-1974) was an aircraft designer and scientist born in Fiuma (Rieka, Yugoslavia).
Bartini became a member of Italian Communist Party in 1921. He have graduated officer school (1916), flying school (1921) and Milan Polytechnical Institute (1922). After Fascist revolution in Italy, in 1923, he was undercover transferred to USSR as aviation engineer. He occupied several engineering and command positions in VVS RKKA since 1923. He became a head of department of amphibious experimental aircraft design in 1928. He was a head of design department of NII GVF, general designer (chief designer), since 1930.
He was unjustly procecuted and in 1937-1947 was imprisoned. He continued his work on new aircraft deisigns as prisioner in TsKB 29 NKVD and in Taganrog OKB, then in SibNIA, Novosibirsk. R.L.Bartini was rehabitated in 1956.
Published papers in areas of aviation construction materials and technolgy, aerodynamics, dynamics of flight, the theoretical physics.

Scientist
Aviation
Sergey Pavlovich Korolev named Bartini as his teacher. At various times and in a different degree with Bartini have been connected: Korolev, Ilyushin, Antonov, Mjasishchev, Jakovlev and many others. In the literature on aerodynamics there is a term (definition) "Effect of Bartini".
Science phylosophy
Besides aircraft, R.L.Bartini was engaged in kosmogony and science philosophy. It had been created the unique theory of the six-measured world of space and time which has received the name "World of Bartini ".
Works of R.Bartini on key problems of the physicis were published:
- Roberto Oros di Bartini. "A parity between physical sizes" in the "Reports of the Academy of sciences ". 1965., t.163, Nr.4 («Доклады Академии наук» (1965г., т. 163, №4)), and
- Roberto Oros di Bartini. "Some parities between physical constants" in the collection " Problems of the theory of gravitation and elementary particles ". Atomizdat, 1966., p. 249-266) (сборник «Проблемы теории гравитации и элементарных частиц» (М., Атомиздат, 1966г., стр. 249-266).
Engineering creativity
Developed Bartini the method has received the name " And - And " from a principle of connection of mutually exclusive requirements: " Both that..., And another "... The Atmosphere of total privacy in the Soviet aircraft construction has limited using this method of forecasting only in narrow group of the "admitted" experts..
Bartini stated that: " basically search of decisions of type " And - And " is not combined not so (frivolous). Students solve similar problems already on the first rate on seminar employment on the mathematician: take the first derivative of function, equate it to zero and find x's, then y'k "
Direct and unambiguous statement of Bartini: " is resulted... That it is possible matematization of new ideas birth ".
Since matematization is possible only on rigid enough algorithm, undoubtedly, it is very similar later on ARIZ by Altshuller. It basically not could be noticeably other, being is constructed on the same dialectic logic. Supersonic planes "Tu-144" (russ. Ту-144) and "Concorde" differs just in details.
Quotes
O.K.Antonov: " All projects Bartini are extremely original. But purposely it did not aspire to originality, it was born from its approach to (plane) business... Robert Ljudovigovich was dared boldness of knowledge, conviction in correctness of the conclusions. It was rich, immensely rich with ideas and thus consequently was generous ".
S.V.Ilyushin: " Destiny of Bartini will allow, when it will be studied, to formulate some major laws of revealing and becoming of design talent ".
Bibliography
In more detail about this person it is possible to read in I.Chutko's book " Red planes ". The book had two editions:
- 1978. (russ. И. Чутко "Красные самолёты". М. Изд. полит. литературы, 1978)
- 1989. The collection " the Bridge through time ". (russ. сборник "Мост через время")
Unfortunately, each edition has a material which is absent in other edition.
