Pavlo Naumenko

Naumenko graduated from Klovskyi Lyceum in Kyiv, Ukraine in 1982 and went to National Aerospace University – Kharkiv Aviation Institute, having graduated with distinction in 1988 as an engineer-mechanic. He started to work as Master of the manufacturing site at the aggregate-assembly workshop of Kharkiv Aircraft Plant. At this period, KSAMC launched a series production of An-72 (first flight of the serial An-72 was on 20 December 1985). An-72 became the base for a whole new family of multi-purpose airplanes An-72 / 74 nicknamed as "Flying SUV" due to their unique flight characteristics, simplicity of service and capability to take off and land on poorly equipped runways.

In August 1990, on the eve of the collapse of the Soviet Union, Naumenko left KSAMC to set up a private engineering company InterAMI.[http://www.madein.dp.ua/view.aspx?type=ja&lang=2&jaid=270 InterAMI: Style of the High Flight] The most famous projects of the company were joint production of Amitron TV sets with Samsung (1992–1995) and production of polymer products according to the technology of the German company ADM Isobloc (1994–2004). InterAMI restores its collaboration with KSAMC in 1996 the result of which was a specialized enterprise "KSAMC Trading House" for professional promotion of An-74 of different modifications on the international market, which enabled to implement a contract with the Government of Iran to deliver 12 An-74 aircraft in the middle of economic crisis in Ukraine. InterAMI sets up its engineering department InterAMI-Interior that designs and develops aircraft and helicopter interiors, particularly for An-74 and An-140 in 1999. "InterAMI-Interior" succeeded to radically change old-fashioned post-Soviet aircraft interiors on new technological Western types, which were more competitive on the market. Naumenko leads InterAMI in the process of setting up a new airline Aeromist-Kharkiv in 2002. It became one of the first airlines to use An-140 that this airline used until 2007 on domestic and international routes to the EU countries, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia. Aeromist-Kharkiv became an authorised company from KSAMC[http://www.media-objektiv.com/pages.php?gazeta_id=27&material_id=9&page=7 Харьковские самолеты понравились в Азии] to exhibit An-140 during international air shows, such as Le Bourget Air Show, Farnborough Airshow, Dubai Air Show and others.

From the late 1990s, Naumenko took part in the organisation of serial production of new An-140 and An-74TK-300 designed by "Antonov" Aeronautical Scientific Technical Complex. Starting from 2002 until 2007, Naumenko led a production process of the following aircraft modifications on KSAMC: regional An-140-100[http://www.dsnews.ua/politics/vdart816 Война за иранские небеса] (2004), business An-74TK-300D[http://www.space.com.ua/gateway/news.nsf/NewsALLR/2F4441D520797FD9C3256D25002EBF8B!open Первый самолет повышенной комфортности Ан-74ТК-300 будет изготовлен в августе этого года][http://defense-ua.com/rus/hotnews/?id=18417 DUBAI AIRSHOW-2005.

Upon the Ministry of Transport of Ukraine's initiative, the first An-74TK-300D was given a special registry number that highlighted that presidents of Ukraine use an aircraft produced in Ukraine. After the aircraft was transferred in 2004 into the ownership of "Ukraine" State Enterprise, it acquired a registry number UR-LDK (L.D. Kuchma) and was later renamed as UR-YVA (Yushchenko V.A.). The number was changed to a neutral UR-AWB in 2012.[https://www.scramble.nl/database/soviet/details/33_22496 An-74TK-300 c/n 36547098984][http://www.rulit.net/books/aviaciya-i-vremya-2008-03-read-330082-20.html Авиация и время 2008 03] The aircraft received an index of An-74T-200A in which "A" stands for "Arabic". It was linked with KSAMC's victory in a tender announced by the Government of Egypt to deliver three, and eventually six, aircraft of the Egyptian Air Force in 2003.{{Cite web |url=http://www.space.com.ua/gateway/news.nsf/NewsALLR/2BFAB756D6FCAD98C2256F7B002EFA0D!open |title=ХГАПП продает 9 самолетов в Египет |access-date=5 September 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170113152554/http://www.space.com.ua/gateway/news.nsf/NewsALLR/2BFAB756D6FCAD98C2256F7B002EFA0D!open |archive-date=13 January 2017 |url-status=dead }} An-74T-200A competed with C-27J Spartan (Lockheed Martin (US), Alenia Aeronautica (Italy)), EADS CASA C-295 (CASA (Spain) and Airbus Military (EU)).[http://obkom.net.ua/news/2004-12-30/1359.shtml Американский «Локхид» пролетает – как фанера над Харьковом] From 2012, Naumenko was a consultant for a number of EU companies on the UAVs based on piloted aircraft projects, using Fly-by-Wire or Fly-by-Optics control systems together with full authority digital engine control systems (FADEC).

Naumenko supported and promoted a range of IT projects since 2014. One of them was DROTR – DROID TRANSLATOR[https://money.cnn.com/2014/01/02/technology/translation-service-app/ DROTR: Want to chat in 29 languages?] represented as the most promising communicator with a capability of online translation on 29 languages.
