Summary
Nikita Lituev is an aerospace control systems leader with eight years of experience designing, verifying, and certifying Automatic Flight Control Systems (AFCS) across both fixed- and rotary-wing platforms. Currently Head of the AFCS Department at PJSC Yakovlev, he progressed from hands-on design and flight-test roles to leadership while driving model-based development and certification activities. His background spans aircraft and automotive domains, including MIL test automation and CI integration for control software at Arrival, giving him a practical systems-and-software perspective. A Bauman MSTU honors graduate, he is focused on delivering safe, cost-efficient air mobility and often bridges the gap between flight-test data and control-law refinement. An uncommon strength is his track record of implementing e-bird parallel simulations to validate Flight Control Computers before airborne trials.
