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-96T is a long-range, wide-body freighter derived from Il-96-300 airliner and featuring a stretched fuselage equipped with Pratt & Whitney engines and Rockwell Collins avionics. The aircraft maximum payload capacity is 92 tons distributed inside 32 international containers, but typically carries a 58-ton payload on routes of up to 9,700 kilometers. The Il-96T freighter is powered by four US-built PW2037 engines rated at 37,000 pounds of thrust. These engines are far more reliable and fuel efficient than Russian-built PS90A turbofans. The maiden flight was carried out on May 16, 2007. Russian type certification was awarded in March 1998 and FAA type certification in June 1999.
