OPYTNYI KONSTRUKTORSKOYE BURO SUKHOGO AOOT (Sukhoi Experimental Design Bureau JSC)
OKB, which is 57 per cent owned by AVPK Sukhoi, named for Pavel Osipovich Sukhoi, who headed it from 1939 until his death in September 1975. It remains one of two primary Russian centres for development of fighter and attack aircraft, and it is notable that 60 percent of front-line Russian Air Forces’ aircraft are of Sukhoi design. Bureau has widened its activities to include civilian aircraft, under konversiya programme. This offsets the drastic reduction in combat aircraft production and competition in the upgrade and overhaul market.
