1. About the military

When he was in kindergarten, there was an airport not far from the kindergarten. At that time, for the young Simonov, the happiest thing every day was to look up at the sky and watch curiously the rise and fall of various airplanes. From then on, he was full of yearning for aviation and dreamed that one day he could design an airplane. When he was 8 years old, Simonov joined the school's aviation interest group. At the age of 15, he was appointed director of the aircraft model room of the Children's Palace. Simonov originally wanted to apply for a prestigious aviation school after graduating from high school, but because his younger brother unfortunately died in an air crash, his grieving family firmly rejected his request. Simonov finally chose the Novocherkassk Polytechnic because he heard that an aerospace department was going to be established there, but it never was established.

In fifth grade, Simonov decided to apply for transfer to the Moscow Space Institute, but was rejected by the institute. After unremitting efforts, he transferred to the Kazan Aviation Academy, where he began the first steps in aircraft design. In 1953, he teamed up with like-minded classmates to create the Undergraduate Glider Design Bureau and developed a metal structure glider that was the world's leading at the time. Simonov's fame also attracted the attention of the Soviet Central Committee. In 1959, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to establish the National Glider Design Bureau on the basis of the University Student Glider Design Bureau.

In 1970, Simonov was appointed deputy chief designer of the Moscow Kulun Machinery Manufacturing Plant, accepting the leadership of the famous aircraft designer Sukhoi. At the beginning of taking office, he presided over the test flight of Su-24 bomber. Simonov once again performed outstandingly, providing the most detailed analysis report for Sukhoi and making great contributions to the launch of a new generation of fighter jets. On September 15, 1975, Simonov served as chief designer and presided over the development of new fighter jets. This laid a good foundation for him to later become a master of aircraft design!
