Tupolev TB-6

Had it been built, it would have been the biggest-ever Soviet bomber and the largest aircraft by wingspan of its time, nine feet short of the 320 foot span of the Hughes H-4 Hercules, although the Scaled Composites Stratolaunch is now the biggest plane by wingspan.An alternative TB-6 design featured a bomber aircraft with six Mikulin M-44 engines and a single rudder.[1] Given the sheer size of the TB-6, Tupolev decided to build a sub-scale aircraft to test the flight behavior of the TB-6.[3] Data from Istoriia konstruktskii samoletov v SSSR do 1938,[2] The Osprey Encyclopaedia of Russian Aircraft 1875–1995.[4]General characteristics Performance Armament Duffy, Paul and Andrei Kankdalov.
