@emaviation.bsky.socialTwo Soviet airliners got the same job in the 1950s: the Il-18 and the An-10. The An-10 flew first. It was withdrawn in 1972. The Il-18 flew Gagarin to Moscow in 1961 and was still carrying passengers in 2020. Better plane or luckier? #avgeek #ilyushin #aviationhistory #il18
@emaviation.bsky.socialIlyushin's first airliners were built to replace a Soviet-built DC-3. The Il-12 fell from 32 seats to 18. The Il-14 fixed it, set a one-engine takeoff rule, and came out of the Li-2's own factory. So did it really replace the DC-3? #avgeek #ilyushin #aviationhistory #dc3
