Ilyushin Il-86: Short documentary

The story of the Ilyushin Il-86, the Soviet Union's first wide-body jet airliner, encapsulates an era marked by rivalry and innovation. Its design, operational feats, and preservation serve as reminders of a nation's aspirations to compete on the global aviation stage.

I could listen to this guy talking about aeroplanes all day. A mixture of fact and narration he paints a real picture of every aeroplane he describes as he paints a picture of their place in history.

[@berniepfitzner487]

I suspect Chat GPT actually writes his Script. Something in his vocabulary tells me it's like AI trying to write a KZbin script.

[@dontdeletehistory]

might be!

[@nacerkhamou3149]

the commentator is brilliant 👍👍👍👍

[@cornfilledscreamer614]

All of that with a stunning initial vertical climb of 4' per minute!

[@nightowldickson]

The Soviets were trailing behind with engine technology and they were no match to the west. A consistent theme was how their aircraft were hamstrung by suboptimal engines.

[@dontdeletehistory]

the historical context of aviation technology during the Cold War is fascinating. The Soviets did face challenges with engine technology compared to Western designs, which often impacted the performance and reliability of their aircraft.

[@asd36f]

One of the unique features of the Il-86 was the "luggage at hand system." This involved passengers bringing their luggage out to the aircraft. They would then board through the cargo hold, drop off their bags, and go upstairs into the cabin.

[@brittsaunders4621]

I flew aboard Aeroflot IL-86 aircraft on a few occasions, most notably on the JFK-LED route in 1992. I suspect it was used for prestige, since it required two refueling stops to make the trip. There was supposed to have been an improved version, the IL-86M, which would have used CFM56 turbofans, but that project was cancelled and resources directed toward the development of the IL-96-300.

[@jasonmurdoch9936]

Like the first guy said it looks like an Airbus or similar to a Boeing 747 anyhow another good video

[@dontdeletehistory]

it’s quite fascinating how the Il-86 might remind people of other wide-body aircraft due to its size and design. Each aircraft has its unique characteristics and history, and it’s always interesting to see the different perspectives. I thank you for your observation.

[@luv2sail66]

Thank you for another interesting video. Excellent narration (and impressive vocabulary as well).

Ilyushin il-18 plz

[@richardshiggins704]

It was the direct equivalent of the A340-300 but without the range by a long shot .

[@jacobzimmermann59]

Or without the technology. Or the safety.

[@viscount757]

​@jacobzimmermann59 why do you say that? No IL-96 has been written off (except one in a fire while parked) and no fatalities.

[@vladilenkalatschev4915]

@@jacobzimmermann59what was wrong with the safety of this aircraft? There was just a single accident involving the IL-86 and there were no passengers on board, just crew members.

[@vladilenkalatschev4915]

Absolutely nonsense. IL-86 was developed in the 70s and began its carrier in 1980, what was long before the A340.

[@jacobzimmermann59]

@@vladilenkalatschev4915 But that is part of the problem. The IL-86's development was extremely long, facing a lot of challenges due to Soviet technological and industrial limitations. There are stories about an informal but apparently official meeting between Ilyushin and Boeing representatives, where the Boeing guys explained why and how engines should be installed under the wing and not at the back like on the IL-62, and in return Ilyushin shared with Boeing some of its experience regarding the use of titanium. The result of all this was than when the IL-86 finally entered service, it was already technologically dated and inefficient. Even the national airlines of the Eastern Bloc countries didn't want to order it.

[@GotNoSwagGaming]

My grandpa flew that plane

[@pacsunzr2]

Airbus A300!!! 🙏

[@dontdeletehistory]

Yes 🙌🏼

[@bogenious8474]

Its a bus, seat cost per mile - you can keep the lights on or you can`t? NON HIGH BY PASS engines for a start crippled it

[@dontdeletehistory]

The cost-efficiency balance is paramount in aircraft design, and you've highlighted one of the many factors that contribute to an airplane's commercial success or failure.

[@auntbarbara5576]

I could listen to you talk about litterboxes for 12 hours.

[@dontdeletehistory]

I thank you for your kind words and am glad to have such an engaged viewer like you.

[@iangray8888]

Flew on it once, London Moscow and back, Noisy, Dirty, uncomfortable. And as iit;s short life shows, rather rubbish really.

[@dontdeletehistory]

flying on the Ilyushin Il-86 must have been quite the experience!
