Powered by four rear-mounted turbofan engines, the IL-62 was designed to compete with Western aircraft like the Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8. TAAG Angola Airlines operated this aircraft type on long-haul international routes, connecting Angola to destinations across Africa, Europe, and beyond. The IL-62 typically accommodated between 168 and 198 passengers depending on configuration. Its distinctive rear-engine configuration and swept wings made it instantly recognizable on the tarmac. The aircraft measured approximately 53.12 meters in length with a wingspan of 43.20 meters, making it one of the largest aircraft in the Soviet civil aviation fleet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🇦🇴 About the Airline\u003cbr\u003eTAAG Angola Airlines (Linhas Aéreas de Angola) is the national flag carrier of Angola, established in 1938.
