Oleksandr Yakobchuk, senior lecturer at the Department of Aircraft Design of the Aerospace Faculty, successfully defended his PhD thesis on "Increasing the wear resistance of friction pairs of local contacts in unstable operating conditions by selecting lubricants with specified tribotechnical properties". Oksana Mikosianchyk, doctor of technical sciences, professor, was the scientific supervisor of the thesis.

The dissertation is devoted to the topical issue of import substitution of lubricants used in domestic aircraft. It is important to note that the results of the research have been successfully integrated into the educational process within the subjects "Fundamentals of Aviation Equipment Manufacturing Technologies" and "Modern Technological Processes in the Production of Aircraft and Their Equipment".

We congratulate Oleksandr Yakobchuk and his supervisor Oksana Mikosianchyk on their outstanding achievement! We wish them further success in their scientific work and new achievements for the benefit of the Ukrainian aviation industry.
