Description

Russian Aircraft Corporation MiG (Российская самолетостроительная корпорация «МиГ»), or RSK MiG, is a Russian joint stock company. Formerly Mikoyan-and-Gurevich Design Bureau (Russian: Микоян и Гуревич, МиГ), then simply Mikoyan, it is a military aircraft design bureau, primarily designing fighter aircraft. Its head office is in Begovoy District, Northern Administrative Okrug, Moscow. It was formerly a Soviet design bureau, and was founded by Artem Mikoyan and Mikhail Gurevich as «Mikoyan and Gurevich», with the bureau prefix «MiG.» Upon Mikoyans death in 1970, Gurevichs name was dropped from the name of the bureau, although the bureau prefix remained «MiG».
