Description: The four-engine Ilyushin Il-86 was the first wide body passenger aircraft produced in the former Soviet Union. It entered service in December 1980 being suitable for the medium-range segment carrying up to 350 passengers on domestic and international routes. This aircraft was powered by four Kuznetsov NK-86 engines developing 13,000 kg of thrust each.

The high fuel consumption and the limited range doomed to failure the Il-86 in the international commercial market with the majority of the existing Il-86 fleet operating only within the former Soviet Union airspace. The Il-86 project was started in September 1969 and the maiden flight was carried out on December 22, 1976. Approximately 120 aircraft were produced by the former Soviet Union.
