Tupolev ANT-14

Pioneer and Early Aviation Aircraft

The Tupolev ANT-14 Pravda was a Soviet five-engined airliner, a much larger version of the ANT-9 with a wingspan of 40.4 metres against 23.8, and has been credited as Russia's first all-metal aircraft of its size, with a corrosion-resistant steel structure. Five 358 kW Gnome-Rhone Jupiter radial engines gave it a top speed of 236 km/h with a crew of three and 36 passengers. Aeroflot tested it in 1932 and found no fault, but had no need for a 36-seat aircraft, so no production followed. In 1933 it became the flagship of the Maxim Gorky propaganda squadron, named Pravda after the newspaper, flying sightseeing trips over Moscow before being grounded in 1941 after carrying over 40,000 passengers.
