Robert Ludvigovich Bartini

Hungarian born Soviet aircraft designer (1897–1974)

Robert Ludvigovich Bartini is remembered in technology for work that changed what came after it.

The record lists Robert Ludvigovich Bartini as Hungarian born Soviet aircraft designer (1897–1974).

Robert Ludvigovich Bartini was born at Rijeka in 1897. His recorded nationality is the Soviet Union. He was educated at Polytechnic University of Milan.

Around the turn of the twentieth century, national institutions, mass media and mass politics changed both the scale of a career and its risks.

Robert Ludvigovich Bartini is described as military flight engineer, physicist and aircraft pilot.

His affiliations include Soviet Air Forces.

Among his principal works are Stal-6 and Stal-7. The engineer's achievement usually disappears into infrastructure, which is the point.

His work was formally recognised with the Order of Lenin, Order of the October Revolution and Order of the Red Banner.

Working from the Soviet Union shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.

Death came in 1974, at 77. By then the contribution had passed into the settled record.
