Early childhood
He was born on July 22, 1895 in the village of Glubokoe, Disnensky district, Vilna province of
the Russian Empire (now the city of Glubokoe, Vitebsk region, Belarus) in the family of a folk
school teacher. Belarusian[4].
Andrei Sukhoi, Pavel Sukhoi's paternal grandfather, was a poor Belarusian peasant[5].
Pavel's father, Osip Andreevich Sukhoi, was a peasant with his father. He discovered
extraordinary abilities in childhood. With "worldly funds" — money raised by fellow villagers "all
over the world" — he was educated at a teachers' seminary. Then he worked as a teacher in his
native village[5].Mother is Elizaveta Yakovlevna Gisich. There were six children in the Sukhoi
family: five girls and one boy, Pavel

In 1905, Pavel entered the Gomel Alexander Men's Gymnasium[7]. Now this
building is the administrative and educational building of the Belarusian State
University of Transport.
He graduated from the gymnasium in June 1914 with a grade of "good" in Latin
and German and excellent grades in the remaining ten subjects.
Later, Pavel Sukhoi read aviation technical literature fluently in German, and
also, having a good command of Latin, with a dictionary — in a number of
European languages — English, French, Italian and others, which greatly
influenced his success in engineering and administrative activities. Pavel
Sukhoi was later also helped to translate technical literature from French by his
wife Sophia, and from English and French by his daughter Irina.

The event that determined fate
Telling his daughter Irina about his adolescence, Pavel Sukhoi
noted that the strongest impression of these years was the
demonstration flights over Gomel of an airplane piloted by Russian
aviator Sergei Utochkin. The flights took place as part of Utochkin's
public tour of the cities of the Russian Empire.
Pavel Sukhoi recalled:
... I was walking with the guys from the gymnasium, and suddenly
an airplane flew over our heads. It was so unexpected and amazing
that it was breathtaking. Not a bird, but a man is flying above us!

The Moscow period of life before 1915
Pavel Sukhoi dreamed of entering the Imperial Moscow Technical School, the only educational
institution in the Russian Empire where the theoretical and technical problems of aeronautics on
heavier—than-air vehicles were studied[10].
His father, Osip Sukhoi, sent the documents necessary for admission to Moscow to his relative
in 1914. Fearing the loss of documents, he submitted only copies to the Admissions Committee.
For this reason, Pavel Sukhoi was refused to take the entrance exams to IMTU[10].
Despite this, Pavel came to Moscow and applied himself, now to Moscow University. Having
successfully passed the entrance exams, he became a student at the university's mathematics
department. A year later, after leaving Moscow University, Pavel Sukhoi still entered the Imperial
Moscow Technical School, having successfully passed the entrance exams. Here he became a
member of the Aeronautics Circle, which was created and led by Professor Nikolai
Zhukovsky[11].

The First World War. Military service
The armed conflict in Europe escalated into a World War. In 1915,
upon reaching military age, Pavel Sukhoi was mobilized for military
service in the Russian army. After studying at the School of Warrant
Officers, he was sent to the Western Front in the active army, where
he served in the artillery. After the October Revolution of 1917, the
Eastern Front collapsed. Pavel Sukhoi returned to Moscow, but the
Technical School was closed. Then he decided to return home to his
parents' house in Gomel

1921-1925, life and studies in Moscow
In 1920, the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR issued
a resolution on the return of students to higher education
institutions. In the summer of 1921, Pavel Sukhoi set out to continue
his studies at a Technical school in Moscow[In March 1918,
Professor Nikolai Zhukovsky created the "Flying Laboratory" in
Moscow, the first Soviet research institution on aviation.

9.

In the same year, student Pavel Sukhoi starts working on his
graduation project. Aircraft designer Andrey Tupolev was appointed
its head.
The defense of the graduation project was successful.Andrey
Tupolev saw in Pavel Sukhoi the talent of an aviation designer and
invited the young engineer to work at AGOS (Aviation.
Hydroaviation. Pilot Construction) is the Design Department of the
Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TSAGI) in Moscow. Pavel
agreed, and was sent to the Design Team of Alexander Ivanovich
Putilov[20] as a design engineer.

10.

Head of Design Teams
In October 1930, Pavel Sukhoi became Deputy chief designer Andrei Tupolev
and headed Brigade No. 4, having the opportunity to independently lead the
development and construction of aircraft. This became the basis for the
formation of the design team of the future aviation design bureau.
After the termination of work on the creation of an experimental ANT-12 biplane,
engineer V. M. Rodionov proposed to build a fighter aircraft on the basis of the
project as a public initiative. Therefore, the prototype was named "Public
aircraft". However, the Air Force Directorate became interested in the project
and in December 1929 issued tactical and technical requirements for a new
fighter aircraft under the I-8 index (ANT-13). Tupolev handed over all the work
on the design and construction of the aircraft to Pavel Sukhoi in the Design
Team No. 4. The I-8 biplane fighter was built and tested. But due to the lack of a
suitable engine, work on fine-tuning the aircraft was stopped.

Pavel Sukhoi Experimental Design Bureau
For winning the competition for the design of the BB-1 short-range bomber, Pavel Sukhoi received the right
to create his own aviation design bureau.
On July 29, 1939, Pavel Sukhoi assumed the position of Chief Aviation Designer of the new Design
Bureau. The aircraft, which were designed under the leadership of P. O. Sukhoi, began to carry the
designation "Su" — an index, an abbreviation of the name of the head of the Design Bureau with end-toend numbering.
In 1939-1940 Pavel Sukhoi held the position of chief designer at Aviation Plant No. 135 in Kharkov.
In 1940-1949 Pavel Sukhoi was the chief designer of a design bureau based at a number of factories in
the Moscow region and Moscow. At the same time, Pavel Sukhoi is the director of these plants.
In 1939-1941, the Sukhoi Design Bureau created Su-1, Su-3 and Su-5 fighters, as well as a modification of
the Su-2 "attack bomber" SB, aka the "short-range bomber second" BB-2. However, these aircraft were
not put into service and did not go into production.

12.

By the beginning of hostilities in the summer of 1941, the USSR Air Force had
13 fully equipped regiments of short-range bomber aircraft equipped with Su-2.
The Su-2 short-range bomber was a "secret product", and its silhouette was not
familiar even to Soviet pilots. A late modification of the aircraft with a different
engine was produced under the name Su-4. The Su-2 and Su-4 short-range
bombers took part in the border defensive battles on the Soviet—German front
in the summer and autumn of 1941, in the defense of Kiev and Moscow, in the
Battle for Stalingrad in the autumn of 1942 - winter of 1943, in the Battle of
Kursk the arc in the summer of 1943 and other combat operations. There is no
reliable information about the use of Su-2 and Su-4 after 1943.
In 1942-1943, the Su-6 armored attack aircraft was created under the
leadership of Pavel Sukhoi. The aircraft was released in a small series.

13.

From 1944 to 1949, the Sukhoi Design Bureau created and tested
the Su-12 reconnaissance spotter, the Su-10 four-engine jet heavy
bomber (ground tests), the Su-9, Su-11 and Su-13 heavy twinengine jet fighters, as well as the Su-15 and Su-17 single-engine
fighters. The design of the aircraft used an ejection cabin and a
pilot's seat and a braking parachute.
In November 1949, the Pavel Sukhoi Aviation Design Bureau was
abolished. At the suggestion of Andrei Tupolev, he moved to work as
a designer in his design bureau.

14.

By Order of the Ministry of Defense No. 223 dated May 14, 1953, an
aviation design bureau was created, which was proposed to be
headed by Pavel Sukhoi.
After the reconstruction of the Design Bureau, under the leadership
of Pavel Sukhoi, a number of experimental and serial combat
vehicles were developed, including the Su-7 fighter with a flight
speed twice the speed of sound, P-1, Su-9, Su-11, Su-15 interceptor
fighters, Su-7B fighter-bombers with ski and wheeled-ski landing
gear for basing on unpaved airfields and Su-17 with variable wing
sweep in flight, Su-17 modifications Su-20 and Su-22 bombers, Su24 front-line bomber, Su-25 attack aircraft

15.

More than 50 aircraft designs have been developed under the leadership of P.
O. Sukhoi[3].
In 1958-1974, he was a deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR.
22:32
He lived and worked in Moscow. In recent years, the consequences of
pulmonary tuberculosis suffered at the front have worsened, because of which it
was necessary to use an oxygen tank. He died on September 15, 1975 in the
sanatorium Barvikha near Moscow. He was buried in Moscow at the
Novodevichy Cemetery
