ICM Ilyushin-62M, Soviet Passenger Aircraft

Description

The first Soviet intercontinental jet passenger aircraft was the Il-62, developed by the S.V. Ilyushin Design Bureau. The prototype took off January 2nd, 1963. Series production began in 1966. Since 1973, the Il-62M was advanced with new engines; as a result, a maximum range of over 11,000 km was possible in operation. Just before 2004, there were 190 Il-62M aircraft produced.
