Agree, but the concept of dual jet-engined nacelles was first developed by the british Vickers VC10 in connection with the need for long-distance routes from the shorter runways of some parts of Africa. The performance of the VC10 was such that it achieved the fastest crossing of the Atlantic by a subsonic jet airliner, a record that was held for 41 years!

Merci également pour vos précisions techniques que j'ai pu traduire. Pour ma part, je pense que cet avion est assez différent du VC-10, en particulier ses volets et la forme de son empennage horizontal. J'en ai photographiés quelques-uns dans les années 1992 à 1995, à Paris-Roissy et à Orly (Aeroflot, Uzbekistan Al et Tarom, certains d'entre eux avaient leurs anciens moteurs avec les "reverses" à grille). Durant cette même période Roissy recevait régulièrement l'IL-86 (Aeroflot, Armenian Airlines), que l'on pouvait de très près et qui faisait entendre un bruit de sirène absolument incroyable et terrifiant... Je n'oublierait jamais la mise en route de ces IL-86 qui dépassait vraiment toute mesure, une caractéristique très particulière du moteur de cet appareil. Aujourd'hui il est hélas interdit de vol dans l'union européenne. Un coup dur pour les spotters ! Merci pour votre partage.
J'ai adoré le 727 DC 9 707 DC-8 Super mais je n'ai rencontré que la version Tupolev 154-b2 ou ´´ M et les il-62 en 1978 à l'aéroport de Mexico en 1978. Jusqu'à aujourd'hui, je ne peux m'empêcher de les admirer.
I flew on the IL62 several times between New York and Warsaw. I know now that I had been taking my life in my hands. Later in life, I experienced business class on the A380 - much nicer!
Some russian planes are designed to do this like tu 154 and il62.On the other hand DC-8 and even Concorde could actually deploy reversers in flight to slow down since they didn`t have speedbrakes, but normally it would only be used in an emergency.
Yes , I remember IL62 at Heathrow the engineer throwing water over the undercarriage . The wheels would overheat when braking after landing. In the cabin , a Russian observer would watch the cabin crew in case they tried talking to us.
Yes, they usually had the equivalent of a Political Commissar onboard, whose sole purpose was to ensure the crew didn't attempt to defect or otherwise engage in activities that could be construed as being a spy for the UK or similar. The slightest perceived infraction by any member of the crew could result in their losing international flight duty status. This is why sometimes the flight attendants on the plane might appear uptight, brunt, non-smiling or even seemingly rude. They were probably already on report and under considerable scrutiny (back in the Soviet era) - so they had to appear aloof while serving the foreign passengers on the plane - just to keep the prestige (and marginally better pay) from flying international routes.
A charter agent requested this to come to Stansted a few years ago. My manager told me to send an email to say we couldn't handle it due to other airline commitments at the time he asked me to offer the next day. They needed a specific day so replied " Thanks but no thanks" and ended up going to Doncaster . Never have I been more reluctant to send an email in my job! I was gutted.
I remember seeing this back in late 80's as a 5 yrs old Boy 😂... They would fly directly from USSR to AFRICA without any refueling, those SOLOVIEV Engines had a distinctive sound that set them apart from the rest. "GOOD OLD DAYS"
They dont build airplanes like that anymore. IL 62 has had a very long career. I once flew on OK Jet, Czech Airlines from JFK to YMX , in First Class in 1984. Best $95 I ever spent. Loved that noise on takeoff and the suspense of the 35 second takeoff roll!
For those who love the IL62, here is the VC10. Designed for hot and high, it was a stalwart with both BA and the RAF. RAF ac had seats facing backwards! The RAF had a pax/cargo fleet to start then gained some more from BA at a time when the VC10 tanker was created. It was fascinating landing at Kai Tak, especially watching local ladies hanging out washing as ac turning final over Kowloon!!
Il-62 was a better aircraft than the VC-10. For instance the rear auxiliary landing gear leg was a much clever way to prevent the aircraft from tipping-over in unloaded/unfuelled condition than moving the landing gear and wing further aft as was done on the VC-10, which made the drawbacks of the rear-engine architecture even worse.
I always liked airplanes with rear mounted engines , Loved the DC9 / MD88 / MD92 , I had chances and worked IL62's on ramp in MIA back early 90's when Aeroflot operated to MIA, and the IL62 is like a DC9 on steroids like a hotrod dragracer and it has a unique jet engine whine/whistle , I could tell when one was either landing or taking off @ MIA from home which was located approx 2 miles north of what was then runway 9L @ MIA
