The Tupolev ANT-53 was a late 1930s project by the Tupolev Design Bureau for a passenger aircraft. It was developed as an airliner derivative of the Tupolev TB-7 heavy bomber and was effectively the Soviet counterpart to the Boeing 307 Stratoliner pressurised airliner. Its pressurised cabin would have accommodated 48 passengers or 6 tons of cargo, with power from either four Mikulin AM-34FRNV or four Tumansky M-85 engines. Development was abandoned because the Great Purge of 1937 and 1938 left the country short of aerospace engineers, so the aircraft stayed a project.
