ILYUSHIN IL62 LANDING with incredible ENGINE SOUND - First IL-62 Freighter in the Netherlands (4K)

The Ilyushin IL62 is an incredible airplane and currently there are just a handful of these classic airplanes which are still operating. The airline "Rada Airways" recently acquired another Ilyushin IL62 Freighter and that` s why I can` t call these videos "The last IL62 Freighter worldwide" anymore. Last year they bought a formter Il62 cargo plane from Manas Cargo and now there two of these fantastic looking airplanes operating out ot Belarus.
The Rada aircraft arrived empty at Maastricht Aachen Airport from Belarus to operate a cargo charter flight to Yangon the next day. Lots of planespotters showed up at Maastricht to see and hear this rare and classic airplane. For sure its one of the most unique planes I will spot in 2021 and of course it` s already a highlight of the year and will be seen in my year reviews of year 2021.
Only three IL62 cargo planes have been built or converted in total. All of them operated for the russian cargo airline Kapo for many years until they ceased operations. After standing around for a few years they finally found a new home with Rada Airways. Let` s hope they will continue flying for a long time cause I just can` t get enough of this classic russian planes.
The Il-62 has tricycle landing gear with an additional lightweight gear strut at the rear of the fuselage which extends when the aircraft reaches its parking position. Aircraft with rear-mounted engines are usually tail-heavy when sitting empty on the ground, and to prevent the aircraft from tipping up on its tail, various devices are used for supporting the tail - from simple "pogo stick" fixed struts on small aircraft, to light-weight extendable struts (Il-62). Aircraft like DC-9 or Boeing 727 use an airstair door under their tail which serves the dual purpose of a tail support as well as an extra door for passenger loading.
The Il-62 is the largest airliner ever built with all-manual flight controls, using steel cables, rods, pulleys, aerodynamic and weight balances, and trim tabs.[citation needed] The Il-62 also has a forward-mounted tank serving as a water ballast. This may be used when the aircraft flies empty or lightly loaded. If this is a fact, it would rank the Il-62 alongside other airliners that use ballast, notably the French Caravelle and the Soviet Tu-154. Due to the rear-mounted powerplants, the wings are aerodynamically clean, and takeoff and landing aids are employed without the disturbing effect of engine nacelles, resulting in free airflow over the dorsal wing surface. This allows the aircraft to fly through air turbulence of 16-18 m/s without affecting its stability.
Another key Il-62 trademark is the "saw tooth" ("dog-tooth") on the wing leading edge. This prominent feature acts as an aerodynamic fence vortex generator (without which the wings would be almost vortex-free), and fixed leading edge droop/slat/flap. It ensures vice-free behaviour at high angles of attack and assists efficient long-range cruise. The saw tooth removes the need for hydraulic controls, stick shakers, and stick pushers. Later models of the VC10 (for British United Airways and Ghana Airways) also adopted this feature, in their case closer to the wing tips.
Thanks for watching, new videos every tuesday and friday.

I have always thought that the Ilyushin il-62 was one of the most beautiful plane ever designed

[@Hvitserk67]

Agree, but the concept of dual jet-engined nacelles was first developed by the british Vickers VC10 in connection with the need for long-distance routes from the shorter runways of some parts of Africa. The performance of the VC10 was such that it achieved the fastest crossing of the Atlantic by a subsonic jet airliner, a record that was held for 41 years!

[@OtakuAviators]

Agree, such an elegant and classic aircraft.

[@katimboallan4605]

@@Hvitserk67 the French did aviation caravelle was the first to mount engines at the back.

[@Hvitserk67]

@@katimboallan4605 Sure, but the Caravelle did not have dual jet-engined nacelles (which is what's cool in this context). When this is mentioned, the Sud Aviation Caravelle was definitely a nice aircraft and I can remember that Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) had several of these in the 70's. The main restaurant at the then Fornebu airport in Oslo (FBU 1939-1998) was named after the plane :)

I was a passenger on the Interflug Il-62, in 1989, when I was 14. Having flown intercontinental flights since I was 6, in 1982. Coming from the American planes, the noise was a shock. It was very loud inside the cabin. Earplugs helped a little. However, the Il-62 was very stable and smooth in flight. I remember sleeping deeply and dreaming twice. I have never slept so well or had dreams on any other aircraft. Quite impressive!

[@luchatrokaalvaradoguajardo5185]

Only you complained, all the Boeing Douglas jets were very noisy, more than the Pavel Solovyev of IL62, don't be ridiculous.

[@user-hl1dq7nh4d]

i had a seat in the back .... looking at the engines .... it was amsterdam bucharest and back .... since i as well flown il-18 ns, the noise was not that big of a problem ...to me it was similar to old dc 9 ns.. but becouse i was in the back between the engines it was more intense... however nothing nicer as 4 screaming jet engines to listern to ...

Outstanding feat of engineering 60+ years ago! I flew in one back in '89, long range smooth flying aircraft but austere in some ways, however the polarized windows were a unique feature. After a one-way flight of 19 hrs (with 2 scales) the one noticeable characteristic was that its cantilever wings appeared stiffer than those of the much familiar 727's and DC-9s which fluttered lightly from the middle section of the wing to the tips.

Merci également pour vos précisions techniques que j'ai pu traduire. Pour ma part, je pense que cet avion est assez différent du VC-10, en particulier ses volets et la forme de son empennage horizontal. J'en ai photographiés quelques-uns dans les années 1992 à 1995, à Paris-Roissy et à Orly (Aeroflot, Uzbekistan Al et Tarom, certains d'entre eux avaient leurs anciens moteurs avec les "reverses" à grille). Durant cette même période Roissy recevait régulièrement l'IL-86 (Aeroflot, Armenian Airlines), que l'on pouvait de très près et qui faisait entendre un bruit de sirène absolument incroyable et terrifiant... Je n'oublierait jamais la mise en route de ces IL-86 qui dépassait vraiment toute mesure, une caractéristique très particulière du moteur de cet appareil. Aujourd'hui il est hélas interdit de vol dans l'union européenne. Un coup dur pour les spotters ! Merci pour votre partage.

For those who love the IL62, here is the VC10. Designed for hot and high, it was a stalwart with both BA and the RAF. RAF ac had seats facing backwards! The RAF had a pax/cargo fleet to start then gained some more from BA at a time when the VC10 tanker was created. It was fascinating landing at Kai Tak, especially watching local ladies hanging out washing as ac turning final over Kowloon!!

[@philippemerlin7758]

Il-62 was a better aircraft than the VC-10. For instance the rear auxiliary landing gear leg was a much clever way to prevent the aircraft from tipping-over in unloaded/unfuelled condition than moving the landing gear and wing further aft as was done on the VC-10, which made the drawbacks of the rear-engine architecture even worse.
