Ilyushin IL-62

First flown in Januar y 1963, the llyushin Il-62 was designed to complement and partially to replace the Tupolev Tu-114 on Aeroflot's long-range domestic and intercontinental routes. A cantilever low-wing monoplane with swept wings, a T-tail with all swept surfaces, retractable tricycle landing gear and four engines mounted in pairs on each side of the rear fuselage, the II-62 entered service during 1967. Initial operations had been on cargo services, but on 10 March passenger/mail services were inaugurated on the Moscow-Khabarovsk and Moscow-Novosibirsk routes. When, on 15 September 1967, Aeroflot introduced the type on its Moscow-Montreal route, the II-62 represented the Soviet Union's first long-range four-engined intercontinental jet transport. The II-62 has the NATO reporting name 'Classic' and it is believed that more than 210 have been built, some 200 remaining in airline service.

this plane was cause of death in 80-s polish people in two crashes. The cause of that was bad design of engines by russian engineers. Its copy of english VC-10 who originaly was not design for carying people as a pasenger plane
