EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the impressive size and design of the A N Tupolev ANT-20bis, as it sits majestically on the ground with the registration number CCCP-L760. The ANT-20bis, also known as the "Cargo Plane," was a Soviet large transport aircraft produced by the Tupolev design bureau during the late 1930s. This aircraft was a significant milestone in aviation history, as it was the world's largest aircraft in production at the time, and the first four-engine transport aircraft to enter serial production. The ANT-20bis was designed primarily for long-range military transport and was capable of carrying large payloads, including artillery, vehicles, and even horses. Its distinctive features include the twin fuselages, which were connected by a central nacelle containing the cockpit and passenger cabin. The aircraft's wings were also notable for their large size and high aspect ratio, which provided excellent lift and range. This photograph captures the ANT-20bis in its raw, unadorned state, revealing the intricate details of its design. The ground crew can be seen working around the aircraft, adding to the sense of scale and activity. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the history of aviation and the remarkable achievements of the Tupolev design bureau.
