The American Ilyushin IL-18D made in USA by Douglas

The DC-7 was developed from the DC-6 and looked similar to the Soviet's Ilyushin IL-18D which delivered to Nanhua International Airlines on 1958 as the very first starting aircraft after testing American technologies after the airline was created before purchasing the the Lockheed L-188 Electra. Upgrades were carried out on 1963 to increase the fuel-efficiency and engine's power including a fuselage coating for more fuel-efficiency. It was retired on 1994 and serves as a temporary aircraft until 2008 along with the IL-18D.

Changes: Increased the main forward engine multiplier inside to 0.4 significantly to keep airborne
