The Ilyushin Il-62 is a Soviet-designed long-range commercial jetliner that first flew in 1963. It was notable for being one of the first wide-body aircraft, featuring a distinctive four-engine layout and a spacious cabin. The Il-62 was primarily used for international flights and could accommodate around 150 passengers. With a maximum range of approximately 5,000 kilometers, the Il-62 was designed for efficiency and comfort. It served various airlines, including the Aeroflot, and was known for its reliability. The aircraft was eventually succeeded by more modern jets, but it remains an important part of aviation history.
