The Ilyushin Il-32 was a Soviet heavy military glider developed after World War II to deliver 7 000 kg (15 000 lb) of cargo including 60 troops or a 122 mm (4.8 in) cannon with its prime mover ammunition and crew. To facilitate loading and unloading the glider's nose and tail sections were hinged to swing sideways.
