The Tupolev Tu-70 (NATO reporting name: Cart) was a Soviet passenger variant of the Tu-4 bomber (which was a reverse-engineered copy of the American-made Boeing B-29 Superfortress) designed immediately after the end of World War II. It used a number of components from Boeing B-29s that had force-landed in the Soviet Union while bombing Japan. It had the first pressurized fuselage in the Soviet Union and first flew on 27 November 1946.
