Chhattisgarh Swami Vivekanand Technical University. Chhattisgarh Swami Vivekanand Technical University (CSVTU) is a state university located in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh, India.

History

Establishment 
In early 2005 the State Government of Chhattisgarh decided to establish the university with the aim of providing "systematic, efficient and quality education" in the fields of engineering and technology. The relevant act was passed in the Chhattisgarh state assembly on 21 January 2005. Manmohan Singh, then Prime Minister of India, laid the foundation stone of the university in a ceremony held on 30 April 2005.

Land and financial aid by Bhilai Steel Plant 
According to a 2008 news report, the Bhilai Steel Plant, one of the largest steel plants of the country, agreed to donate over 250 acres of land to the Chhattisgarh government for the establishment of the university, along with  for related infrastructure development.

Adopting industry-academia linkage system 
After the university adopted an "industry-academia linkage system", a similar system was adopted by five other state universities. The system apparently offers financial rewards for students working on industry-defined problems.

Management

Faculties 
 the university offers courses in seven sections which are: Engineering & Technology, Applied Science, Management & Entrepreneurship, Pharmacy, Architecture, Humanities and Ecology & Environment.

Reservation of seats for SAIL 

While the university was still in the planning stage, it was reported that 50 percent of certain postgraduate courses would be reserved for employees of the Steel Authority of India (SAIL), while a small number of places in other courses would be reserved for their children.

Storm hardening. Storm hardening is the process whereby construction is used to create new infrastructure or retrofit existing infrastructure such that it is more capable of withstanding extreme weather events. It "involves physically changing infrastructure to make it less susceptible to damage from extreme wind, flooding, or flying debris. Hardening measures include adopting new technology, installing new equipment, constructing protective barriers, or changing communications/IT at the facility.

"Hardening usually requires significant investment by the energy company. Some projects take years to complete; for example, large earth-moving equipment may be brought in to build a new levee. Sometimes the sheer magnitude of assets involved (e.g., thousands of wooden distribution poles) requires years of concerted effort to upgrade."

Moscow Aviation Institute BB-MAI. The Moscow Aviation Institute BB-MAI () was a Soviet light bomber/attack plane prototype aircraft. Designed in 1939 by Peter Grushin of the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI, hence the designation), it was delayed by problems with the new Klimov M-105 engine and eventually only a single prototype was built. While the design was not accepted for serial production, it was the first Soviet aircraft to use a tricycle landing gear and one of the first to feature a supercharger and leading-edge slats.

Design and development

The work on the design was started in 1938, but was delayed by the fact that the intended powerplant, the modern Klimov M-105 engine, was still under development. In early 1939 work commenced on the first prototype, but proceeded at a very slow pace. The construction team was led by A.A. Lebedinski and A.A. Manucharov. It was not until late 1940 that the prototype was completed and flight-tested by MAI's own test pilot A.N. Grinchik. By that time the Soviet Air Forces lost interest in the design and focused on the more advanced Ilyushin Il-2 instead. As neither this design nor the even more revolutionary Sh-MAI were accepted, the Design Bureau of the Moscow Aviation Institute was disbanded and its head Pyotr Grushin was sent to Kharkov as the new head of a local Aircraft Factory No. 135.

The two-spar wings of BB-MAI were of mixed construction typical to other Soviet experimental designs of the era. Each wing was equipped with leading-edge slats and was composed of three crescent-shaped caisson sections, each formed of fanera – layers of plywood strengthened with glue and bakelite. The fuselage was a typical wooden monocoque reinforced with fanera. The materials used in the BB-MAI were designed at the VIAM Institute. The relatively small wings resulted in relatively high wing loading to maximise the aircraft's cruising speed.

The engine was equipped with a new experimental TsIAM supercharger powered by exhaust fumes. The aircraft was equipped with a modern tricycle landing gear, with the front wheel retracting into a bay in front of the engine's radiator, while main gears retracted into wing bays close to the fuselage.

Moscow Aviation Institute Sh-Tandem. The Moscow Aviation Institute Sh-Tandem (, other designations include Sh-MAI and MAI-Tandem) was a Soviet experimental ground attack aircraft of the 1930s. Designed by Peter Grushin at the Moscow Aviation Institute (hence the MAI designation), the aeroplane featured an unusual tandem wing, with the tail planes as large as 45% of the wing area. Elevators served as ailerons at the same time. While similar in layout to contemporary Soviet fighters (notably the Polikarpov I-16), the design also included a rear gunner's turret in the tail.

Three prototypes were built and flight-tested by Petr Mikhailovich Stefanovskiy between late 1937 and 1939, but no serial production followed.

Design and development

In mid-1930s Soviet aviation circles were toying with the idea of a shturmovik – an attack aircraft capable both of strafing attacks, and limited fighter and bomber capabilities. There were two simultaneous directions for the engineers. One was focused on what would eventually become Ilyushin Il-2 and Sukhoi Su-6 – basically a heavily armoured heavy fighter airframe fitted with guns and racks for bombs and rockets. Entirely different direction was a much lighter airframe, based on single-seat fighter planes, adapted for ground attack duties, of which none were eventually accepted.

One of the latter was Sh-Tandem designed by Pyotr Dmitrievich Grushin at the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI). The design was a non-conventional tandem wing aeroplane. Even distribution of weight between front and rear sections allowed for more ordnance to be installed in the airframe, including a rear gunner's turret. Additionally, lack of a vertical stabiliser allowed for wider field of fire. At the same time the tandem wing configuration allowed for the wings to be constructed of wood rather than metal and – at least in theory – was to give the new construction unprecedented manoeuvrability. Internally the fuselage was conventional for its times: a wooden monocoque, covered in plywood with some areas covered in bakelite.

Both front and rear wings were to be equipped with ailerons and elevators. Instead of a single vertical stabiliser, there were two mounted under the rear wing. There were five planned variants for the actual mounting of the stabilisers, mounted either at both ends of the wing, mid-way, underneath it or extending both above and below. Eventually the variant with vertical stabilizers both below and above the rear wing was adopted as the most suitable.

The landing gear included two front wheels retractable into bays in the front wings, and a non-retractable tail wheel.

Serial production Sh-Tandems were to be powered by the new Tumansky M-88 air-cooled radial engine. However, as they were not yet available, the prototypes used the earlier Tumansky M-87A instead.
