BI-1 Monument in Yekaterinburg, Aviation monument in Koltsovo, Russia.
The BI-1 Monument is a full-scale replica of an experimental jet fighter positioned at the entrance of Koltsovo International Airport. The aircraft displays the design and proportions of the original aircraft that was developed and tested in this region.
The aircraft conducted its first flight in 1942 directly from this location where it was manufactured. It was one of the earliest aircraft of its kind powered by a new rocket propulsion system.
The monument celebrates Soviet innovation in aviation during a crucial time in the nation's history. Visitors see it as a symbol of scientific ambition and technical skill that defined an era.
The monument sits directly at the airport and is easy to view when arriving or departing. You can reach it from the terminal area without needing to enter the main airport building.
The aircraft was not just a machine but a bold experiment with technology that few people understood at the time. This early rocket-powered innovation later influenced many other military aircraft projects.
