For the 1957 airliner, see Ilyushin Il-18.
The Ilyushin Il-18 (NATO reporting name: Clam)[1] was a Soviet four-engined airliner designed and built by Ilyushin immediately after World War II. Although the aircraft itself was successful, its Shvetsov ASh-73TK engines were too unreliable for civilian use and were further needed to equip the Tupolev Tu-4 bomber, so it was cancelled in 1948.
