What I said was: I wonder why Mikoyan continues to call their aircraft "MiG" considering Gurevich is no longer part of their company's name.
Brand Recognition. I'm sure inside Russia they call the jets "Mikoyan", but for selling anywhere else MiG has a much better recognition. As @Sferrin said back in '15: ""MiG" is practically synonymous with "Russian Fighter"" (emphasis mine)
 
It was a Russian government order that said that all aviation companies had to be called after the chief founder so that MiG became Mikoyan and they dropped the Gurevich part of the name, but the west still call the Mikoyan jets MiG. Old habits die hard I suppose Scott Kenny.
 
For Mig 518,there are,

518-21
518-22
518-31
518-55
 
The thread title is spelt incorrectly. It's Gurevich not Gurevitch.
 
MiG-121 ? was a 19 passenger transport project,it was mentioned in
old magazine,may Aeroplane monthly or Fly Past

From this book.

I've noticed that some of you still write Mig when it should be MiG. Just saying... -SP
Actually, it's just plain MIG (all caps) of late. This is an attempt to separate the founders of the firm (Mikoyan and Guerivich, both of whom have long-since passed on) from the modern, very successful company it is today. Back in the day, firms were named for their founders in the Soviet Union. Today, not so much. The all-caps version of the name is an attempt to adhere to newer policies without sacrificing name familiarity.
