Myasishchev M-6
The Myasishchev M-6 was a project for a four- engine passenger aircraft that was developed in the Soviet Union in the 1950s . The designations M-6P and M-29 have also been used. The model was derived from the M-4 , but should be a low-wing aircraft. The hull was planned as a double tube, the diameter should be 3.70 m for the upper part and 3.50 m below. The machine could have carried 150 passengers, or more than 200 if the seats were narrower, and was thus in the range of the Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8 . Outwardly, the aircraft was similar to the Tupolev Tu-110 . However, use abroad would have been problematic because of the tandem chassis : The necessary support wheels at the wing tips would have been 52 m apart, which would have required runways about 80 m wide. The project was abandoned in 1956 in favor of the Tupolev Tu-114 .
The designation M-6 was also used for the 3M, a further development of the M-4.
