Ilyushin Il-30

The tactical bomber Ilyushin Il -30 (Russian Ильюшин Ил -30) stood in a row of several developments of the Soviet Il- 28th Work on the Il -30 Ilyushin began in mid-1948, shortly after the Il -28 was first flown. Due to the introduction of the Tu- 16 in the military service, it was not incorporated into series production.

Development

Most obvious changes, in contrast to IL- 28 were the bumpered with four wing fences swept wing with a leading edge sweep of 30 ° and the tandem chassis. This consisted of two double- wheeled main wheels which were arranged in series in the body as well as two small supporting wheels, which were integrated into the nacelle. The swept- normal tail had been taken over by the Il -28, also the pressure cabin.

The first design work for this mid-wing began in 1948, in September 1949 began the first high-speed ground tests with the prototype by Vladimir Kokkinaki. There is conflicting information on its maiden flight. So he should not have been carried out on the one hand, since the project was set to government statement on 20 August 1950. Other sources speak of a first flight on 9 September 1949, followed in 1952 ended testing. Anyway, the project was ultimately Ilyushin and focused as a result of an improvement of the troops are already in service Il- 28th

Developed as a successor from 1952, the Ilyushin Il -54 flown first time in 1955, which broke through the first Soviet bomber the sound barrier. The Il -54 was not built in series.
