Polikarpov is the make name of the Soviet Polikarpov Design Bureau, an OKB or design bureau for aircraft led from 1922 by Nikolai Nikolaevich Polikarpov. It was based at the GAZ No. 1 aircraft production plant in Moscow, which had earlier been the Dux Aircraft Factory and was acquired by the Soviet state in 1920. During the 1920s and 1930s the bureau designed and built a wide range of military aircraft, among them the I-3 and I-5 biplane fighters, the I-15 and I-16 fighters, the R-5 reconnaissance biplane, the TB-2 bomber prototype and the Po-2 general purpose biplane. After Polikarpov died on 30 July 1944 at the age of 52 the bureau was absorbed into Lavochkin, with some of its engineers going to Mikoyan-Gurevich and its production facilities going to Sukhoi.
