L-760 6-engine bomber (original description) -
This is a Tupolev airplane, either the Maxim Gorky propaganda
airplane or a derivative.
(second description by robj@speechsys.com)
-
The only 6-engined aircraft of this configuration I know is
ANT-20bis - improved successor of ill-fated ANT-20 Maxim Gorky.
Use of more powerful engines, together with removing of
inefficient tandem group and other weight 'savings' resulted in a much
better aircraft.
