The designer, Konstantin Kalinin, wanted to build two more planes but the project was scrapped. Later, Stalin had Kalinin executed. Evidently, it was not good to fail on an expensive project under Stalin.

FWIW, a C-5's wingspan is about 50 feet longer. The C-5 is also about 100 feet longer than that plane.
