January 25, 1941 issued a decree on the establishment of the Leningrad Aviation Institute (LAI). The Institute is housed in the building of the Chesme Palace, which previously housed the Leningrad Road Institute (LADI) of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs. The rector was appointed F. P. Kataev, who previously led LADI.
The structure of the university was three faculties: aircraft, instrument-making and motor-building.
When the war began, more than 400 students and professors of the LAI joined the ranks of the people's militia. In August 1941, the 68th Fighter Battalion was created from the students and staff of the Institute, who heroically defended his native city.
In February 1945, a decree was issued to convert the LAI to the Leningrad Institute of Aviation Instrumentation (LIAP). Two faculties were created: instrument-making and radio engineering. Inside the instrument-making faculty there were 2 specializations: electrotechnical and instrument-making. In the autumn, teachers (35 people) and students of 1-3 courses (350 people) from the Tashkent (former Voronezh) Aviation Institute were transferred to LIAP.
