Everything about the Kalinin K-7 is big. Big engines, big wings, big weight, big bombload, not to mention the colossal balls of the pilots that got behind the controls of this thing.
The K-7 was born in a time when aircraft manufacturers were trying to build a new generation of massive transports, able to carry over 100 passengers or troops across large distances. Konstantin Kalinin proposed his design, the K-7, and to gain Soviet government support he also designed it to operate as a bomber that could carry an impressive 19,000kg bombload.
Over the years a few myths have sprung up about this aircraft, like the fact that it was designed to carry battleship I discuss that in this video, so enjoy! :D

Producing these videos is a hobby of mine. I have a passion for history, and personally own a large collection of books, journals and other texts, and endeavor to do as much research as possible. However if there are any mistakes, please don’t hesitate to reach out and correct anything :)
