Ilyushin Il-18

|
Two aircraft have shared the designation Ilyushin Il-18.
The first was a propeller-driven airliner of 1946 based on the B-29 Superfortress. After a year of test flights, the programme was abandoned.
The second Il-18 is a large turboprop airliner resembling the Lockheed L-188 Electra.
As one of the best known Russian aircraft, it is also one of the most popular and long lasting, first flying in 1965.
Seating 100 to 120 passengers, its operating economics are such that many are still in service in Cuba, Siberia and by some operators in the Middle East.
Military versions have also been developed, such as for ASW and ELINT as the Il-24 and Il-38.
