The Tupolev Tu-75 was a transport variant of the Tu-4 bomber, using a new, purpose-designed fuselage. The first Soviet machine of this class, it was equipped with a rear fuselage loading ramp. It was successfully tested, with its first flight on 21 January, 1950. It was not put into serial production because the Air Force was not ready to accept such a machine.
