Ilyushin Il-14
Encyclopedia
The Ilyushin
Il-14 (NATO reporting name
"Crate") was a Soviet twin-engine commercial and military personnel and cargo transport aircraft that first flew in 1950
, and entered service in 1954. Il-14 was also manufactured in East Germany by VVB Flugzeugbau
, in Czechoslovakia
as the Avia 14, and in China
under the Chinese designation Y-6. The Ilyushin Il-14 was typically replaced by the Antonov An-24
and Yakovlev Yak-40
.
. A development of the earlier Ilyushin Il-12
, (that first flew in 1945), the Il-14 was intended for use in both military and civil applications. The Il-12 had major problems with poor engine-out behaviour. Also, it had less payload capability than was originally planned (although the Il-12 was intended to carry 32 passengers, in service, it only carried 18, which was uneconomic).
The development into the Il-14 was a vast improvement over the Il-12, with a new wing and a broader tailfin. It was powered by two 1,400 kW (1,900 hp) Shvetsov ASh-82T-7 radial piston engines. These changes greatly improved aerodynamic performance in engine-out conditions.
Total production of the Il-14 was 1,112 aircraft: 469 in Moscow (Moscow Machinery Plant Nr.30) from 1956 to 1958, 360 in Tashkent (Factory Nr.84) from 1954 to 1958. Licenced production of 80 in East Germany by VEB Dresden (Factory Nr.803) from 1956 to 1959 and 203 in Czechoslovakia
by Avia, Prague, from 1956 to 1960. It was rugged and reliable, and thus was widely used in rural areas with poor quality airfields.
The type was also used by the East German aircraft industry as a test aircraft for the horizontal stabilizer of the Baade 152.
The Il-14 soldiered on in the Soviet Union
until the 1980s, and also in other small and poor nations like Cuba
and Vietnam
. However, the unlicenced Chinese built Y-6 remained in the People's Liberation Army Air Force
as a trainer until late 1980s.
