Tupolev ANT-20
The Tupolev ANT-20 ''Maxim Gorky'' ((ロシア語:Туполев АНТ-20 "Максим Горький")) was a Soviet eight-engine aircraft, the largest of the 1930s. Its wingspan was similar to that of a modern Boeing 747.
== Overview ==
The ANT-20 was designed by Andrei Tupolev, using the all-metal airframe technologies devised by German engineer Hugo Junkers during the World War I years, and constructed between 4 July 1933 and 3 April 1934. It was one of two aircraft of its kind built by the Soviets. The aircraft was named after Maxim Gorky and dedicated to the 40th anniversary of his literary and public activities. The ANT-20 was the largest known aircraft to have used the Junkers design philosophy of corrugated sheet metal for many of the airframe's key components, especially the corrugated sheet metal skinning of the airframe.
It was intended for Stalinist propaganda purposes and was equipped with a powerful radio set called "Voice from the sky" (''"Голос с неба"'', ''Golos s neba''), printing machinery, library, radiostations, photographic laboratory and a film projector with sound for showing films in flight. In a first in aviation history the aircraft was equipped with a ladder which would fold on itself to become part of the floor.〔("News Paper Printed On Plane In Flight" ) ''Popular Science Monthly'', March 1935, cutaway drawing of interior〕
Another first for the plane is that it used both direct current and alternating current. The aircraft could be dismantled and transported by rail if needed. The aircraft set several carrying capacity world records and is also the subject of a 1934 painting by Vasily Kuptsov, which is now in the collection of the Russian Museum at St. Petersburg.
