Grigory Yakovlevich Bakhchivandzhi (Russian: Григорий Яковлевич Бахчиванджи; 20 February [O.S. 7 February] 1909 – 27 March 1943) was a Soviet fighter pilot and early jet test pilot. In 1942 he flew the first powered takeoff of a Soviet rocket plane, the BI-1,[a] but he died in the line of duty testing the Bereznyak-Isayev BI-3 variant the next year. He was posthumously awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union in 1973 for his test pilot work.
