But that successful future for this aircraft never arrived. Until today it has been one failure after another, typical of a product made in Russia. If I'm wrong, can you name the major commercial airlines that are operating these planes today? Where?

I love watching videos of Russian airliners because as a Westerner, I’m too used to seeing Boeing and Airbus designs. You begin to appreciate the small details that make the Russian aircraft different. Small nuances in the shape and configurations.

Thank you for making such great content about Russian aviation in English!

I realize that twin engines are more efficient. But I much prefer the look of quad engine airliners to twins (especially big twins like the 777).

This Il-96-400 should be the latest Russian future wide body passenger jetliner. I love those Russian airplanes and like your video because you make an excellent coverage aircraft history which why I’m very interesting about aviation and I love to fly airplanes.

Il-96 400M with PD35 engines. It's going to be an eye opener.

[@ronaratema8816]

Outstanding, as usual. Thank you.

[@tomcarr1358]

Thanks for all the detail. Background issues are much more absorbing than in-flight recordings and cockpit videos of countless safe landings.

Sky is absolutely the most informed, interesting, and articulate narrator on KZbin! Love these vids!

[@Chris-mn7yy]

Amazingly informative video, very very interesting thanks.

10 years ago, I flew with Atlant Soyuz in their Il-86 (close enough). It's very impressive, especially when you board soviet-style, i.e. by the ramp in the lower fuselage.

[@tiberiotavares9698]

Your knowledge of aircraft is impressive. Thank you!

[@Elias-xy9kc]

What I know is that the Ilyushin design bureau is studying a re-engine fit, which will make the Il-96-400 a two engined wide-body, as there are

[@RichieRouge206]

Love learning more about Russian planes! Thank you for the channel and the great aircraft it informs us of!

[@RedLP5000S]

I love the IL-96. I wish it was more viable for other customers around the world. I hope Ilyushin can remedy the efficiency issues and give her a new lease on life.

Sky, your videos keep getting better and better

[@andrerodrigues402]

Boy, you are very much precise in the comments. You really understand aircraft manufacturers and aircraft projects. Thansk for sharing! what a privilege

[@ajgoetsch]

Well done on an outstanding production on this aircraft. I find all your videos informative, astute and very well put together. Keep up the great work! Thanks.

[@ElectricUAM]

You rock! Thanks for these videos on the exotic airplanes we don't see in the West.

[@atatexan]

Very good! Excellent grasp of the details.
