The Tupolev Tu-72 was a proposed Soviet medium bomber of the late 1940s, drawn up by the Tupolev design bureau as a development of the earlier Tupolev Tu-8. Compared with the Tu-8 it would have had a slightly longer fuselage, increased defensive armament and slightly enlarged vertical stabilizers. Its first flight was scheduled for 1948, but the project was cancelled because of the success of the Tupolev Tu-4 and because the bureau was turning its attention to first-generation strategic jet bombers.
