The Ilyushin Il-14 ( Russian Ильюшин Ил-14 , NATO code name : Crate ) is a Soviet short- and medium-range airliner with two piston engines . It was the improved successor to the Il-12 . Except for the Avia 14 Super version , the Il-14 was not equipped with a pressurized cabin .
history
The aircraft was developed to replace the Ilyushin Il-12, the successor to the Li-2 , a Douglas DC-3 manufactured under license in the Soviet Union . The first flight took place on July 13, 1950. The Il-14 is a twin-engine, low- wing propeller plane. The aircraft was used for both civil and military purposes, e.g. B. used as a transport aircraft.
The project planning began in 1947 immediately after the end of the testing of the Il-12 and initially provided for the use of two 18-cylinder ASch-73 engines , but this was rejected after some considerations. The Il-14 should eliminate problems with the de-icing system caused by the corrosion caused by the exhaust gases when the Il-12 is in operation and it should also be manageable in single-engine flight at low speed and in turbulence. If an engine fails during take-off, the aircraft should still be able to complete the process successfully. The necessary investigations were carried out with state funding and support from the Aerohydrodynamic Institute (ZAGI) and the Institute for Flight Research (LII). As a result, the received support surface of the Il-14 a through SR-5 - profile and a negative sweep angle of 3 ° at 1/4 depth that a flow separation in the region of the ailerons should prevent. As a drive, it was decided to use two ASch-82T , which, in contrast to the ASch-82FN used in the Il-12, delivered 50 HP more take-off power, had a 15% lower fuel throughput and were equipped with newly developed AW-50 adjustable propellers with 3, 8 m in diameter .
The first prototype , which was flown for the first time on July 13, 1950, was, however, still equipped with the supporting and vertical stabilizer of the Il-12 and was only used to test the ASch-82T and the on-board systems. The second aircraft, known as the Il-14P due to the new de-icing system, received the typical angular vertical stabilizer with an area increased by 17% in addition to the new wings. It took off for the first time on October 1, 1950. During the trial, engine failures were practically tested for the first time in the Soviet Union during the critical start-up phase, which subsequently became a necessary part of the test for approval. The subsequent state testing from the end of 1951 to August of the following year was successfully completed and ended with the decision for series production. The first Il-14P to be mass-produced in the Tashkent aircraft factory made its maiden flight on March 14, 1954, and after successful field trials at sometimes extreme temperatures down to -55 ° C, it was used on the Aeroflot airlines on November 30, 1954 .
The majority of the 1348 machines produced were manufactured in the Soviet Union by the works No. 30 "Snamja Truda" in Moscow and No. 84 in Tashkent. 80 machines were manufactured in the GDR by VEB Flugzeugwerke Dresden as Il-14P between 1956 and 1959 . In Czechoslovakia the aircraft was built under the designation Avia 14. Later the Avia 14/32 from the Il-14M, the Avia 14 / 32A with structurally reinforced fuselage and higher take-off mass, the Avia 14 Salon and the photo machine Av 14FG were developed. A total of 203 Avia 14s were manufactured from 1958 to 1962.
construction
Outwardly, the Il-14 is very similar to its predecessor Il-12. The circular fuselage cross-section and the nose wheel landing gear were adopted from the Il-12. The wings are designed as trapezoidal wings with a high aerodynamic aspect ratio with straight wing tips. The flaps on the rear edge are slotted flaps. The vertical tail unit has a square shape with a protruding tail unit edge and a relatively small dorsal fin.
The Il-14 is driven by two 14-cylinder radial engines of the Schwezow ASch-82T type and AW-50 four-blade controllable pitch propellers with a diameter of 3.80 m. The engines, the propellers, the front and the tail units are equipped with de-icing systems.

use
The aircraft was in service in almost all Comecon countries, in addition to the Eastern European countries, Cuba and Vietnam , as well as Afghanistan , Chad , Iraq , North Korea , the People's Republic of China , Egypt , Syria and South Yemen . The Il-14 was also used as a VIP aircraft for Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser , India's Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru , Yugoslavia's President Tito and the Shah of Persia.
Incidents
From the first flight in 1950 to November 2017, the Ilyushin Il-14 caused 97 total aircraft losses. In 73 of them, a total of 1054 people were killed. Examples:
- On July 22, 1960, an Il-14P (T) of the National People's Army (400) collided with the first of the four 140-meter-high chimneys of the Vockerode power plant in fog . The machine crashed on the power plant site, with its six occupants and a power plant employee died on the ground (see also aircraft accident in the Vockerode power plant ) .
- On July 6, 1962, an Aeroflot Il-14 ( aircraft registration number СССР-91554) crash-landed on the flight from Bukhara to Tashkent after an engine failure , killing 11 of the 38 occupants (see also Aeroflot flight 40 ) .
- On January 1, 1966, an Ilyushin Il-14P (СССР-61618) of Aeroflot suffered an engine failure while cruising from Magadan to Petropavlovsk. Since the altitude could not be maintained, the copilot suggested an emergency landing in the snow. The captain refused, however, and flew into the flank of Mount Yurchik, 60 km northwest of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky . All 23 occupants, 5 crew members and 18 passengers were killed (see also the flight accident of the Ilyushin Il-14 СССР-61618 of Aeroflot ).
- On April 23, 1966, the crew of an Ilyushin Il-14P (СССР-61772) of Aeroflot declared an air emergency shortly after take-off from Baku airport due to a double engine failure . The successfully ditched machine was only found 20 days later on the bottom of the Caspian Sea . All 33 occupants were killed (see also Aeroflot flight 2723 ) .
