The Ilyushin II-62
This is another one of the Soviet Union’s creations, the long-range narrow-body airliner was born in 1960. It is the successor of the popular turboprop II-18. With a capacity for around two hundred passengers and crew, the II-62 was the world’s largest jetliner when it first took to the skies in 1963.following is a disappointing review from a previous pilot.“It still used manual flight controls, there’s no power to assist you to move those flight control surfaces, if some ice gets in a hinge, it’s just your muscle power that will break it loose, it also has a bad history of failed thrust reversers and exploding engines that damage the neighboring engines”, this is a description of the Ilyushin IL-62.
