The Ilyushin Il-22 was the first Soviet jet-engined bomber to fly on 24 July 1947. Powered by four Lyulka TR-1 turbojets, it was under powered, as the engines only produced 80% of their planned thrust. As a result, the Il-22 was unable to meet its design criteria and further development was cancelled on 22 September 1947.https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/ilyushin-il-22-the-first-soviet-jet-engined-bomber/ #aviation #aeroplane #airplane #bomber #IlyushinIl22 #SovietBomber
