Ilyushin Il-14 (Ильюшин Ил-14; NATO reporting name: Crate) was a Soviet twin-engine airliner for small and medium-haul air routes and a military transport, produced by Ilyushin. The airplane was also produced in East Germany with the name VEB 14 and in Czechoslovakia as the Avia 14. The Antonov An-24 and Yakovlev Yak-40 later replaced the Il-14.
Development and design
Ilyushin developed the Il-14 to replace the Lisunov Li-2, which was a common airplane at the time. The Il-14 was a further development of the earlier Ilyushin Il-12. The result was an improvement over the Il-12. Two 1,400 kW (1,900 hp) Shvetsov ASh-82T engines powered the Il-14.[1]
