Abstract

This article relates the life and scientific achievements of Sergei Alekseevich Chaplygin (1869–1942), a mathematician and mechanic, one of the founders of aerodynamics, an organizer of science and higher education, a talented teacher, the creator of the largest scientific school in the field of aerohydromechanics, one of the organizers of the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI), who contributed to its transformation into a leading world-class scientific center, and an ally of and successor to his outstanding predecessor, “the Father of Russian Aviation” N.E. Zhukovskii.
