Aircraft IL-96

This aircraft was designed and assembled in Russia according to the schemes of S.V. Ilyushin. He made the first flight in 1988. It was the second wide-body domestic production aircraft after the IL-86.

IL-96 is designed for the transportation of passengers, mail, cargo, luggage on the air main lines, the length of which is up to 11 thousand km. This aircraft is a high-speed wide-body aircraft, which is intended for medium and long-haul air transportation.

The IL-96 was designed in the late 80's. Much in its design and design, he inherited from his predecessor - IL-86. But it was assembled on an innovative scheme, at the time, and in the design and assembly, fundamentally new materials were used. Four dual-circuit engines are installed on the wings. The cockpit is equipped with the latest technology. All navigation devices are displayed on separate displays in order to make it easy for pilots to operate the aircraft in a difficult weather for the flight.

It was one of the first aircraft in which they started using a special automatic control system. The equipment in the cabin is very compact, without flaws. Later models are even more reliable and suitable for flying in bad weather conditions with the fuselage design.

It is noteworthy that the State Prize of the Russian Federation was awarded for the creation of the IL-96 and putting it into regular operation for a group of employees of OJSC "IL".

The cruising speed of the aircraft is 900 km / h. It is calculated for the range of flight up to 12100 km. The maximum takeoff weight is 240 thousand kilograms.

Producers argue that about IL-96 reviews in the company received only positive. Due to incorrect design or incorrect operation of the devices in the cabin, there were never any emergencies.

The wingspan of the IL-96 aircraft is 60.1 m, the length of the aircraft is 55.35 m, its height is 17.57 m. The number of places for the crew is 2, passengers in the cabin of 3 classes - 235, 2 classes - 262, and in the economic Class - 300.

It is a quiet airplane with a pleasantly externally salon, scattered lighting. Take-off and landing are soft. The aircraft is equipped with all necessary communication and safety systems, which ensure its uninterrupted operation during flights of any complexity.

All IL-96 systems were created taking into account possible situations of failure of aggregates for various reasons, including production marriages. 4-fold redundancy of the hydraulic system is made so that a single failure can not cause the brakes of all wheels to fail on the landing gear racks . The plane still meets all safety requirements today. He was certified even in the US, and this fact speaks for itself.

IL-96 provides its passengers with a modern level of comfort, meets international environmental standards, can be operated in all regions and regions of the globe. The reliability of the systems and the introduction of "on-state" maintenance ensure a reduction in labor costs during the operation of this aircraft.
