Description:
The Ilyushin Il-96 is a four-engine, wide-body, longer range passenger and freighter aircraft based upon the Il-86 airliner. The Il-96 aircraft features a fuselage shortened approx. 4 meters, a new wing layout, a seating capacity between 235 and 436 passengers, and fly-by-wire controls. The Il-96 wide-body aircraft family includes the Il-96-300 and Il-96-400 airliners and the Il-96T and Il-96-400T freighters. The Il-96 powered by western engines and the Il-98 twin-engine airliners were cancelled. The Il-96 maiden flight was carried out on September 28, 1988. In July 1993 the first Il-96-300 airliner entered into service.
The Il-96-300 airliner entered service in July 1993 powered by four Soviet/Russian PS90A engines each developing 16,000 kg of thrust. It has been reported that less than 20 of such aircraft were delivered to Aeroflot. The Il-96-300's low efficient engines and its poor performance Russian avionics seem to be the main reason for the aircraft's cancellation favoring new models equipped with western avionics and engines. According to Russian press the Il-96-300 production terminated in the 2006/2007 timeframe.
