8 Facts about the IL-96-400 Aircraft, the Russian-Built Wide-Body Aircraft - Jetline Marvel

[@mohammad13651]

I don't know why the Russians didn't go after their domestic industries. The capital they gave to Western countries to buy airplanes could have updated their air industry. It's really a pity.😢

[@vasyav92]

One of the key reasons are lack of investments in 90’s and lobbying of boeing and airbus which basically motivated to stop investments in domestic industry and just purchase planes from them.

[@Sibyltec]

it's because of capitalism. Putin complained Aeroflot was buying Western planes but couldn't force them to. Now with the sanctions we'll see the Russian passenger aircraft sector start up again. The Il96-400m, Tu214, and Sukhoi superjet are not the most impressive neither fuel efficient planes. But it's a start, and they can catch up.

[@wanderschlosser1857]

Because modern Russia focused on military and imperial expansion. They almost abandoned their commercial aircraft industry and technology. They now got great bombs and jet fighters but are incapable to build a decent car. Priorities! And as a result a highly sanctioned country with a very dark future.

[@Engulfing_Darkness]

@@wanderschlosser1857what makes you say that Russia will have a dark future. Frankly, they don’t give a rat’s behind about west. World doesn’t revolve around west, which is what a lot of countries understand but afraid to admit. Speaking of the west, isn’t west ambitiously imperialistic? Look what west has done with the whole world. With the globalists at the yoke, west enslaved everyone with its financial system. With a push of button, west can bring weaker countries to its knees. Russia isn’t one of them. They have their own minds and technologies. Yes, they are a bit behind, but they will be improved upon in due time. Finally, what is west going to do when everyone turns away? That process has already started.

[@test-so2jw]

@@wanderschlosser1857In fact, many countries do not want Russia to develop again. A country with many resources, their growth could threaten the position of many countries. They are afraid that restrictions on cooperation will restrain Russia's economic strength. Look at how many sanctions they have put in place, where is their economy?

Humankind should not monopoly by only Boeing & Airbus,, China , Russia another country should develop airplanes for humankind air travel

Mitsubishi tried with their "Reginal Jet" - but COVID smacked them and put them further behind on getting certified than they already had managed on their own.

But we have plenty. Aerospatiale with the ATR Embraer from brazil Illyushin from russia Comac from china Boeing Airbus Its not so much a monopoly, just airlines going with whag they know. Kinda like Samsung and Apple sales.. It's like saying they have a monopoly. Not really

[@andrescarmona6993]

Sanctions are helping the russians to be more self-suffient by investing in their local industry. I don't think sanctions are working as expected😂

[@hillbelly1093]

Boeing ,and airbus are collectively designed and made by eight countries ,not one country. Today, said Boeing Chairman and CEO Phil Condit, about 3,000 Boeing airplanes are currently flying with major parts and assemblies produced in China.

[@scotty6346]

A solid, Well designed airframe as the Il-86 and 96 has had very few hull losses but it is going to be thirsty fuel wise with 4 previous generation engines.

[@thomasw7919]

Nice aircraft. Since 2017 in developement. First flight Nov 1st 2023. When will it be approved for scheduled service? I would like to see a comarison table to other airliners of the same sice. Thank you.

Now make it a two Engine plane to be competitive.

[@Максим-б6щ8о]

А вы знаете что для Боинг и Аэрбас изготавливают элементы шасси и титановые части в России! И даже в условиях санкций они закупают эти части в России! Если Россия перестанет поставлять титан для Боинга и Аэрбас, то вся авиационная промышленность западных стран просто остановится!!!

[@hillbelly1093]

Google to see who was Wong Tsu. The Chinese-Born Engineer Who Helped Launch US Commercial Aviation.

[@АнтонАргунов-м4м]

В условиях санкций для такой большой страны как Россия жизненно важно иметь собственный широкофюзеляжный самолет. Это не только гражданские перевозки, но и самолеты "судного дня", правительственные борты. Поэтому топливная эффективность отходит на второй план. Главное планер удачный и ИЛ-96 доказал свою надежность.

[@t.p.8702]

Da gebe ich ihnen recht. Für mehr ist sie in der heutigen Zeit aber auch nicht zu gebrauchen. Andererseits muss auch beachten wie lange die Entwicklung eines neuen Flugzeugs dauert und was das kostet.

Please correct the units with respect to range.. It may be 10000 miles which is 16200 kms and not vice-versa.

[@foodtestingstrips]

Knowing what I know about the lack of quality, culture and structure of both China and Russia, I would never fly in any of these planes. However, I think diversifying airline manufacturers is a good idea. I would recommend other countries over these two.

[@JohnMitch]

I doubt any airlines except Russian, Koryo and Cubanair will buy this aircraft

[@YouTuberJames92610]

And most African countries will be queueing up

[@mattisuomalainen6056]

@@KZbinrJames92610 Its old Russian tech that is fuel inefficient. Wouldnt take these for free.

[@Radicalist-Manifesto]

African and Latin American countries will not buy it because it will not receive US FAA or European certification, thus making it useless forflying to any meaningful destiaion.

[@jameshumphreys2754]

Brand new Russian passenger plane meet Boeing 1980s plane and Airbus 1990s plane. There is no comparison. The engine has radically higher fuel burn and a lot less range than A350 or Boeong 777. It is an improvement for the aircraft manufacturer, but Russianplanese have always been behind the time, and this is no different. It may be more comfortable, but no profitable airline will buy this.

[@bricefleckenstein9666]

Given sanctions, it will have a LARGE domestic market. It's also not likely to be any worse on efficiency than the Airbus A340 - many of which are STILL flown.

[@MsBay129]

They say the same for Huawei smart phone.

[@shaileshgarg6393]

Fuel efficiency of this plane and the latest Boing plane may not differ more than 10%. Fuel efficiency is not everything. Fuel is much cheaper in Russia.

Guess Russia is trying to be self sufficiently as it used to be... so getting rid of Boeing it could maintain its local flights. There will be long queue of third world countries wanting to buy cheap and reliable Russian planes.
