Widebody Aircraft Parade

Ilyushin Il-86

The Ilyushin Il-86 is the first Sovjet built widebody airliner. The first flight took place on 22 December 1976 and Aeroflot introduced the aircraft into service in the early Eighties. More than one hundred aircraft have been built until the production ended in 1994.

The Ilyushin Il-86 offers capacity of up to 350 passengers. Economy-seats are arranged nine-abreast, divided by two aisles. A unique feature of the Il-86 is the passenger access via staircase doors on the lower deck. After entering the aircraft via these doors, passengers can deposit their luggage in the lower-deck stowage positions and climb to the main deck via an internal staircase.

The aircraft is powered by four Kuznetsov NK-86 turbofan engines and has three main under carriage legs. Plans to re-equip the aircraft with western CFM56 engines haven't materialized so far, because of lack of funding.

Ilyushin Il-96

The Ilyushin Il-96-300 is a short-fuselage, long-range version of the Il-86. It has new engines (Perm PS-90A), a new wing, a digital EFIS flightdeck and fly-by-wire controls. The first aircraft was flown in September 1988 and certificated in December 1992. Only few more than ten aircraft have been built so far.

Derivatives are the Il-96M and Il-96T. They have a stretched fuselage and are equipped with Western Pratt & Whitney PW2337 engines and Rockwell Collins flightdeck avionics. First flight of the Il-96M took place in April 1992. The Il-96T is the cargo version of this aircraft, flown for the first time in May 1997. No production aircraft have been delivered so far.
