The Bureau was founded on October 22, 1922 by the famous Soviet aircraft designer A. N. Tupolev.

In 1922, A. N. Tupolev was appointed Head of the Commission for the Construction of Metal Aircraft at the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI). Since then, the experienced design bureau for design and production of all-metal aircraft of various classes, which was formed and headed by A. N. Tupolev, has started operating in the framework of TsAGI.

Under the leadership and with the active participation of the general designers A. N. Tupolev, A. A.

At present, Tupolev PJSC is a member of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), established in accordance with the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation on February 20, 2006.

On June 1, 2014, Tupolev OJSC was reorganized by merging with Kazan Aviation Plant named after S. P. Gorbunov, since then the latter has obtained the legal status of the branch of Tupolev PJSC.

Today the company includes four branches: Kazan Aviation Factory n. a. S. P. Gorbunov – branch of Tupolev PJSC, Flight Test and Development base in Zhukovskiy, Ulyanovsk Design Bureau – branch of Tupolev PJSC, Samara Design Bureau – branch of Tupolev PJSC.

The name of the famous aircraft designer inspires many generations of students to reach new heights in mastering the most modern technologies. We congratulate staff and management of Tupolev PJSC on the anniversary! We wish fruitful work for the benefit of the technical progress of our country and the whole world!
