Tupolev Tu-82

The Tupolev Tu-82 was a 1940s Soviet experimental swept-wing bomber.

It was the first Soviet jet bomber with swept wings.

[1] Similar to the earlier Tupolev Tu-14, the Tu-82 was designed to investigate the use of swept wings.

Powered by two Klimov VK-1 engines, the Tu-82 first flew in February 1949.

[1] It achieved a top speed of 934 km/h and a ceiling of 14,000 m.[1] Tupolev planned a larger combat version as the Tu-86, but it was not built.
