Why have you chosen this faculty?3. What do you know about your future profession?4. Do you know what specialities your faculty provides?5. What do you know about your faculty? Share the information withyour group mates.1.2. Read the textAIRCRAFT FACULTYAviation industry and space engineering are the most advanced and rapidly developing branches of national economy. Modern aircraft have greatflight speeds, maneuverability, reliability, comfort and ecological safety.Only advanced countries can produce aircraft of high competitive capacity.Russia is one of these countries. All advantages of aircraft become possibleif their creators-scientists, engineers, technicians and workers are well educated and skilled.The Aircraft Faculty of Novosibirsk State Technical University was setup in 1956 to meet the needs for highly qualified specialists in the sphere ofdesigning and manufacturing aircraft and systems.

It trains engineers, researchers and scholars who will be able to apply the latest achievements ofaerospace and military technologies in all branches of national economy.Students are given fundamental theoretical training and practical skillsin a wide range of major engineering subjects. Special attention is devotedto bringing up new generations of researchers. The main goal of the academic staff is not only to give students the knowledge and skills necessaryfor their professional careers of engineers but to develop their talents of generating new ideas.3The academic staff of the Faculty make a great contribution to the development of aerospace engineering bringing fame and high reputation tothe faculty. The Aircraft Faculty of NSTU is famous in the world for itsachievements in science and technology as well as a high quality of training.Young people from many countries prefer to get education at this Faculty.The Faculty has a great number of well-equipped laboratories with acomplete range of instruments and machines for specialized courses, computer classes equipped with up-to-date personal computers having an accessto the Internet.During the period of studies students undergo their practical training inspecialized laboratories at the Institutes of the Siberian Division of RussianAcademy of Sciences and leading aviation institutions and plants of Novosibirsk.

Students may enrich their knowledge and better prepare for professional and research work in the Student‟s Design Office set up at the Faculty.The Faculty awards Bachelor‟s, Engineer‟s and Master‟s degrees. Graduates may prefer to undertake a Postgraduate programme of study leadingto a higher degree.The students of the Faculty may major in any of the following areas:1) Airplane and helicopter construction2) Life-support systems3) Aero hydrodynamics4) Dynamics and strength of machines5) Mechanical equipment of aircraft6) Destruction weapon and ammunition7) Environmental protection systems8) Manufacturing processes and production safety9) Low temperature physics and engineering10) Economics and management in aircraft constructionThe graduates of the Aircraft Faculty work as engineers, designers andtechnologists at aviation plants, design departments and research institutionsand occupy professional, technical and managerial positions in the localadministration, city council and federal government of the Russian Federation.Vocabulary1.

Make the list of pioneers of aviation, then read the text and complete your list.PIONEERS OF AVIATIONThe history of Man's achievement in flight goes back through centuries.The first recorded attempt of flying in heavier-than-air craft is found in theGreek legend of Daedalus and his son Icarus who succeeded in propellingthemselves through the air by means of wings attached to the body withwax.

But the experiment proved fatal to Icarus who flew too close to theSun, which melted the wax, the wings dropped off and he was drowned inthe sea.In the 15th century the great Italian painter, scientist and engineer Leonardo da Vinci began his investigations into the possibility of man-flight.He designed the first men-powered aircraft and devised a fixed-wing gliderand a helicopter. He also invented the first prototype to the modern parachute. Leonardo constructed a number of models with which he experimented. But his mathematical calculations, observations and sketches demonstrating his ideas on the possibility of soaring in the air came to lightonly in the late 19th century.Since then many experimenters tried to build and fly man-made aircraft.But successes were random until in the 19th century a German scientistO.Lilienthal designed and constructed several types of gliders.
