The Ilyushin Il-16 was a Soviet lightweight armoured ground-attack aircraft developed at the end of the Second World War by the Ilyushin Design Bureau. In essence it was a scaled-down Il-10, built after the Il-10 showed high performance, and fitted with a newly developed liquid-cooled Mikulin AM-43NV engine that gave 2,300 horsepower at take-off, in the hope that it would be faster and more maneuverable than its predecessor. The crew was two. The engine, however, had defects that proved impossible to rectify, and further development was cancelled in mid-1946 before the type could enter service.
