Ilyushin Il-96
The Ilyushin IL-96 features supercritical wings fitted with winglets, a glass cockpit, and a fly-by-wire control system. It was first flown in December 1988 and certificated in 1992. The IL-96-300 aircraft equipped with modern Russian made avionics which includes six multifunctional color-LCD displays, electro remote management system, inertial navigation system, collision air avoidance system (including mode “S”) and satellite navigation equipment, VHF communication with grid of 8,33/25 kHz frequencies, and equipment permitting executes flights in RVSM conditions. It allows operating the airplane with two crew members. The avionics correspond to modern requirements on international routes in Europe and North America (RNP-1) and allows to navigate and land under ICAO CAT IIIA conditions. The Il-96 came in three main variants: the IL-96-300, IL-96M/T and IL-96-400.
The IL-96M is basically an IL96-300 with a 30 ft fuselage plug and PW engines.
The first PW2337-powered Il-96T RA-96101 was rolled out on 26 April 1997 and first flew on 16 May 1997. Airborne for 21 minutes before returning to Voronezh and on the following dat was flown to Zhukovsky to continue flight testing.
The Il-96T freighter first flew in mid-1993 and the initial production unit rolled out in May 1997, fitted with Pratt & Whitney engines and Rockwell-Collins avionics. This aircraft was used for FAA certification, granted on 2 June 1999. The –96T is a freight version, with a similar –96M passenger version.
The IL-96-400M project was launched in 2017. One of the differences between the deeply modernised version and its predecessor is the longer fuselage, which is increased by 9.35 meters.
In the final assembly workshop of the Voronezh aircraft plant VASO, which is part of the Rostec aviation complex, the assembly of the wide-body, long-range airliner Il-96-400M continued. This wide-body aircraft was a new modification of the IL-96-300.
The IL-96-400M will be equipped with a modern flight-navigation complex and domestic radio communications that meet the requirements of the international aviation authorities for navigation, surveillance and communication systems. Modular integrated avionics for the new airliner is produced by the Rostec Concern Radio-Electronic Technologies.
The aircraft can be presented to the customer in various configurations. In one-class performance, it will accommodate 402 passengers, two-class – 350, and three-class – 305.
Another important difference between the IL-96-400M will be a more powerful PS-90A1 power-plant compared to the base PS-90A installed on the IL-96-300. This engine has increased maximum thrust, it is equipped with a low-emission combustion chamber and new 2nd generation sound-absorbing structures. The engine is produced at the ODK-Perm Motors plant.
The completion of the assembly of the first prototype IL-96-400M and the transfer of the aircraft for testing were planned at the end of 2021. The plane is completely assembled from Russian components.

Ilyushin Il-76 / Il-78 / Il-82 / Beriev A-50 / A-60
The llyushin Il‑76 was designed as a heavy transport for operations onto short unprepared strips in the Russian “outback” and entered Aeroflot service as the production IL‑76T in 1978.
Originally designed to carry 40 tonnes of freight in excess of 3500 nm using relatively short, unprepared runways, the Il-76 first flew on 25 March 1971, NATO code name ‘Candid’. Test flying continued until 1975 when the type was put into production at the Tashkent factory. During the same year the II-76 established 25 international records for speed and altitude with payload.
The design was prepared to meet a basic need in the Soviet Union for a really capable freighter which, while carrying large indivisible loads, with a high cruising speed and intercontinental range, could operate from relatively poor airstrips. The result is a very useful aircraft which, though initially being used by Aeroflot in 1975 and 1976-80 plans for opening up Siberia the far north and far east of the Soviet Union is a strategic and tactical transport for military use.
The production II-76T ‘Candid A’, with greater cargo capacity and higher gross weights, went into service with Aeroflot on domestic routes early in 1978, and the Moscow-Japan international route in April the same year.
It has fitted reversers, a high lift wing for good STOL performance and a high-flotation landing gear with 20 wheels. The big fuselage is fully pressurised and incorporates a powerful auxiliary power unit and freight handling systems.
The four-turbofan Il-76M/MD Candid long-range transport continues to replace Soviet Military Transport Aviation (VTA) An-12 Cubs at a rate of about 30 a year, and now accounts for around half the VTA fleet, with some 310 in service according to US estimates. Deliveries to India, which has ordered 20 to replace An-12s, began in February 1985. In Indian service the Il-76 is named Gajaraj.
About 100 have been exported to civil users including Libyan Arab Airlines, Syrianair and, more recently, Cubana, while military customers include the Czech, Polish, Algerian, and Iraqi.
The Il-76TD Candid A entered service in late 1982.
The exact time of the start of work on the Il-76PP is not known, but general information points to the mid-1980s. The Il-76PP was only produced in a single example in Russia and remained in the experimental development phase without moving to serial production.
It is known that the Il-76PP was converted from a serial Il-76MD transport aircraft, with work carried out at the Beriev Design Bureau in Taganrog. This factory specializes in radar surveillance aircraft, such as the A-50.
The Il-76PP was reportedly intended primarily to jam Western air defense systems, including Patriot systems.
The most notable feature of the Il-76PP was the Landysh electronic warfare (EW) system, also used on Su-24MP aircraft. Defence Express suggests that the Landysh could have been the reason why this project was not realized.
To solve this problem, the aircraft designers installed two additional generators based on the AI-24VT aircraft engine. Each of them was to power four alternators on board the IL-76PP. However, this was not enough to reliably power the electronic warfare equipment.
Another problem was that during the work and tests, the designers of the IL-76PP failed to achieve electromagnetic compatibility between the aircraft’s onboard equipment and the Landysh complex, whose containers were installed on the wingtips.
In other words, the IL-76PP turned out to be a monstrous and non-functional development that was unable to fulfill its main task. Because of this, in 1993 the aircraft was put into storage at the aforementioned training airfield in Irkutsk and remained there until 2024, when space was needed for new construction.
The military transport version, intended for the deployment of paratroops and troops, together with strategic heavy freighting, differs primarily by having military, rather than civil, avionics and equipment. The Soviet air force, with about 450 ‘Candids’ in service, also use the aircraft for firefighting (the II-76DMP), able to carry over 40 tons of water or retardant; as an engine testbed (the II-76LL); airborne early warning (as the A-50 ‘Mainstay’ in the USSR, and the ‘Adnan’ in Iraq) and for Antarctic support flights and cosmonaut training providing simulated weightlessness. Il-76TD (the civil variant is designated ‘T’, whilst the extended range model is assigned the suffix ‘M was one of two aircraft transferred to Aeroflot’s CUMVS, or International Air Services, after serving in Polar regions.
Ilyushin IL-76 PS-90A-76 in detail Gallery
By early 1991 total production had reached about 680 aircraft. Over 700 had been built by early 1992 at the Chakalov Aircraft Production Plant near Tashkent. Over 100 have been exported and about 150 were in Aeroflot service by 1992.
From the moment it was put into service Il-76 has been the main heavy military and transport aircraft of the Russian air forces. More than 950 civilian, military and special modifications variants have been built. In a single-deck modification (with central seats) it can transport 145 military men and 126 paratroopers. In a double-deck version – up to 225 men.
According to the terms of the State contract 39 military and transport aircrafts Il-76MD-90A were to be built for the needs of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Maximum load has been increased to 52 tons (compared to 48 tons of Il-76MD). Maximum takeoff weight has risen to 210 tons (190).
A three-point hose-and-drogue tanker variant of the Il-76, the Il-78 Nato code name Midas, has been under development for some years, and is thought to have been deployed operationally early in 1987.
The first Mainstay airborne early warning and control system (Awacs) derivative of the Candid is now operational, according to US claims. Four Mainstays were built for test and evaluation, and production is expected to reach five a year to replace the Tu-126 Moss.
Succeeding the Tu-126 Moss with Voska PVO, Mainstay, derived from Il-76 Candid and referred to as A-50 ‘Mainstay’, is an AWAC aircraft possessing true overland lookdown capability. Powered by four 26,455 1 (12 000 kgp) Soloviev D¬3OKPs, it features a new IFF system and, apparently, a comprehensive ECM complement. About a half-dozen have attained Voyska PVO service mid-1987. A triple vertical tail arrangement of the prototype was not standardised for series production versions.
In 1978 the first flight took place of the Beriev A-50 Mainstay airborne early warning and control aircraft, in Russian operational service since 1984.
The A-50 is the ‘Adnan’ in Iraqi service.
A laser-gun test-bed aircraft based on the llyushin II-76 was produced by Beriev and has been flown since 1980s as the A-60.
A communications relay variant flew as the IL-82.

Ilyushin
Sergei Ilyushin, was a mechanic in the Russian air force in WW1. During the early 1920s Sergei Vladimirovich llyushin (died 1977) was a student at the Zhukovskii Military Air Academy, and began glider design. Graduating from the Air Academy, Ilyushin went to TsAGI, where he was influenced by Tupolev.
From 1935 one of the most successful Soviet aircraft designers, beginning with IL-4 (DB-3) bomber developed from TsKB-26 design, of which nearly 7,000 built. Founded own OKB just before Second World War, though 1933 generally attributed as starting point for llyushin designs. Most famous wartime aircraft was IL-2 Shturmovik armoured ground-attack aircraft, a vital weapon in the defeat of the German invasion of Russia, and of which more than 36,000 were built.
Post-Second World War developed IL-12 and IL-14 transports which established Aeroflot’s civil airline network. IL- 28 bomber of 1948 (in class of British Canberra) was first Soviet jet bomber, remaining in large scale use for many years. IL-18 civil transport, which entered service with Aeroflot in 1959, was nation’s first turboprop airliner. IL- 38 anti-submarine/maritime patrol aircraft developed from IL-18 and first flown 1961. IL-20 reconnaissance, electronic intelligence, and communications relay aircraft also developed from IL-18, with IL-24 civil variant. IL-62, 114/186- seat turbofan-powered transport, which inaugurated Aeroflot’s Moscow-New York service in July 1968, was Soviet Union’s first long-range jet airliner.
IL-76T four-turbofan medium/long-range freight transport first flew 1971 and over 900 built, with in-flight refueling tanker derivative first flown 1983 as IL-78, and communications relay variant as IL-82. IL-86 wide-body transport first flew December 22,1976; 103 built before production ended. Strategic-command-post version became IL-80 Maxdome. Follow-on IL-96 wide-body airliner first flew December 1988 and remains in production. II- 98 proposed as twin-engined derivative of IL-96. IL-106 heavy military transport and IL-112 shorthaul regional airliner projected. IL-114 twin-turboprop transport first flew March 1990 and ordered with production and marketing by Uzbekistan-Russian consortium. Special electronic versions of IL-114 developed for “Open Skies” missions and Russian Federal Border Guard patrol. IL-103 4/5-seat lightplane first flown May 1994 and manufactured by MAPO “MiG”.
