In 1930s the Russian army was obsessed with the idea of creating huge planes.
At that time, they were proposed to have as many propellers as possible to help carry
those huge flying fortresses into the air. Jet propulsion has not been implemented yet.
Not many photos were saved from that time, because of the high secrecy levels of such projects.
