For the 1970s Airborne Command Post aircraft of the same designation see Ilyushin Il-18 The Ilyushin Il-22 was the first Soviet jet-engined bomber to fly. It used four Lyul'ka TR-1 turbojets carried on short horizontal pylons ahead and below the wing. The engines did not meet their designed thrust ratings and their fuel consumption was higher than planned. These problems meant that the aircraft couldn't reach its required performance and it was cancelled on 22 September 1947.
