The Il-62 narrow-body jet airliner of 1963 brought Ilyushin's jet transport expertise to long-range operations. Its five-crew layout managed pilot, co-pilot, navigator, engineer, and attendant functions, while four jet engines and 43.2-metre span enabled the 10000-kilometre range essential for Soviet intercontinental service. The streamlined fuselage optimised fuel economy.
