Tupolev Tu-70
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tupolev Tu-70 was a passenger variant of the Tu-4 bomber with a pressurized fuselage designed for 72 passengers, first flying on 27 November 1946. The aircraft was successfully tested, recommended for serial production, but ultimately not produced because of more pressing military orders and because Aeroflot was not ready to operate such an aircraft.
