‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE DE LA THESE DE DOCTORAT SOUTENUE A L'UNIVERSITE DE MOSCOU PAR N.E. JOUKOVSKY ---- "One of the fathers of aerodynamics" ---- "Following his graduation from Moscow University, where he made up his mind to work on practical mechanics, Joukovsky entered graduate studies at the Petersburg Military Institute of Communications. In 1872, he was appointed mathematics teacher at the Moscow Technical College, where he worked up to his death in 1921. His master's thesis appeared in 1876. Most of his subsequent research was devoted to the laws of solids and fluids and his doctoral thesis, The durability of motion, 1882, became the basis of subsequent research in aircraft stability. Interested in the problem of flying well before the appearance of the first airplanes, Joukovsky's initial report concerned the construction of dirigibles. His research in airfoil profiles was carried out in close association with his former pupil, S.A. Chaplygin. Today, he is known as one of the fathers of aerodynamics".
