From the very beginning, the Institute was meant to become an integrated research facility capable to solve every problem in every field connected with aircraft creation and production. The Institute's versatility manifested itself most clearly during the development of flight control and navigation complexes, interception complexes, radio communication, and various electronic systems. The experiments are carried out using both prototype aircraft and custom-built flying laboratories.

“The experiments are carried out using both prototype aircraft and custom-built flying laboratories .”

For example, the experiments for the creation of flight control and navigation complexes were performed using fourteen types of aircraft. The Institute has solved the problem of complexification of various individual navigation and flight control devices and instruments into a unified system to aid aeronavigation. Unification of flight control and navigation equipment was effected, unitized base complexes were created, and the ideology of base flight control and navigation complexes for different classes of aircraft was developed.
