What is kalinin k7?

The Kalinin K-7 was a prototype heavy bomber designed and built in the Soviet Union in the 1930s. It was one of the largest aircraft of its time, with a wingspan of 53 meters and a length of 28 meters. The K-7 was powered by six engines and could carry a crew of up to 11 people.

The aircraft was intended to be used for long-range bombing missions and reconnaissance flights, but it never entered production. The only prototype of the K-7 crashed during a test flight in 1935, killing 14 of the 16 crew members on board.
