Мемориальный комплекс «Крыло Икара», Aviation memorial in Akhtubinsk, Russia.
The memorial features a large steel wing structure alongside four black marble steles containing names of test pilots who lost their lives.
Construction of the memorial complex took place between 1968 and 1978, following the design concept proposed by architect Viktor Fetisov and Dina Ershova.
The memorial draws inspiration from the Greek myth of Icarus, representing human aspirations in aviation through its wing-shaped monument and commemorative elements.
Visitors can access the memorial complex through both private and public transportation, with surrounding park areas providing benches and green spaces.
The monument's metal sheets were welded outdoors at the Kapustin Yar testing ground, using specialized techniques to prevent corrosion of the steel structure.
