IL-62M ( USSR – 1970 )

The Il-62 is the first Soviet long-range intercontinental-range turbojet passenger aircraft, developed at the Ilyushin Design Bureau in 1960.In terms of technical excellence, it corresponds to the "second generation" turbojet passenger aircraft.

The first flight was made on January 2, 1963. In operation since 1967. Serially produced in 1966-1995. A total of 289 aircraft (with prototypes) were produced. A third of all produced cars were exported to socialist countries, primarily to Cuba.

Several world records of speed and flight range were set on the Il-62 aircraft. For several decades, the Il-62 served as a government ("board number 1") – in the USSR, the Russian Federation, North Korea.
