Development and design
Ilyushin developed the Il-14 to replace the Lisunov Li-2, which was a common airplane at the time. The Il-14 was a further development of the earlier Ilyushin Il-12. The result was an improvement over the Il-12. Two 1,400 kW (1,900 hp) Shvetsov ASh-82T engines powered the Il-14.[1]
