    I would expect any purchase would involve Russianisation of the design so foreign components can be changed for Russian parts for local use... not like they have not done that before.

    I also agree they might rethink their position regarding the Tupolev... a decent military order wont bring in enormous amounts of money in itself but it creates a production base and a guaranteed customer that promotes customer confidence in the aircraft that can lead to wavering customers taking a gamble when otherwise they would not.

    It also means in service upgrades and improvements will be paid for and not be borne alone by the commercial customers necessarily.

    Russia plans to produce one dozen Il-114 turbo-prop aircraft each year

    The Il-114 turbo-prop aircraft is scheduled to be put into operation in 2018

    MOSCOW, January 25. /TASS/. The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) plans to produce 12 Ilyushin Il-114 aircraft each year, UAC’s CEO Yury Slyusar said on Thursday.

    "Here, at the MiG corporation premises in Lukhovitsy, we have been gearing up for the production of the Il-114 regional turbo-prop aircraft. Funds have already been earmarked, the construction bureau has begun preparations to hand the documentation over to the plant. Here, in this very workshop where the MiG-35 planes are built, we will also produce twelve Il-114 aircraft in a year," he reported to Russian President Vladimir Putin at a meeting of the defense industry commission.

    "This will allow us to achieve our strategic targets for increasing the production of civil aircraft by 45% by 2025," Slyusar added.

    The Il-114 turbo-prop aircraft is scheduled to be put into operation in 2018. It will be used as a medical, reconnaissance, patrol and anti-submarine aircraft.


    Il-114 is a family of aircraft designed in the 1980s by the Ilyushin design bureau. Nearly 20 aircraft were made in Uzbekistan in the Soviet times.

    Now, the planes are planned to be built at the Sokol factory in the city of Nizhny Novgorod. In the next several years, around 50 bln rubles (roughly $827 mln) will be allocated for this project, Russian Minister of Trade and Industry Denis Manturov said. According to him, deliveries of the aircraft is due to begin in 2019.

    Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) plans to produce more than 100 planes per year, the company’s general designer Sergei Korotkov said Friday.

    "We plan to boost (production) to 100 jets a year," he said.
    When asked how many warplanes the company plans to produce, he said: "This is a question to be addressed to the Defense Ministry."

    As was reported earlier the United Aircraft Corporation plans to bring the share of civil aircraft sales revenues from 20% to 45% by 2035, according to its corporate development strategy released in end 2016.
    Nice recovery. In Yeltsin's era a handful per year were made.

    Looking at the landing cockpit view of Superjet , it seems a lot of things there are automated for landing , Unlike the Tu-204 landing video or IL-96 with 3 crew in cockpit there is additional work involved.

    Capsian Monster, civillian version.

    https://www.rt.com/news/375477-ground-effect-civilian-transport/?utm_source=browser&utm_medium=aplication_chrome&utm_campaign=chrome

    A civilian transport vehicle capable of hauling up to 500 tons of cargo across oceans is in the early stages of development in Russia. The vehicle would fly just meters over the surface to utilize so-called ground effect for better fuel efficiency.

    A ground-effect vehicle is a combination of a maritime vessel and an aircraft. It can only travel over a more or less smooth surface like the ground, water, or ice, flying several meters above it to produce more lift force and less drag than any fixed-wing aircraft generates close to the ground. This makes it more fuel efficient and allows it to make longer journeys.

    Well, this is exactly why the SSJ was designed for, it is 20 years more modern than Il-96 and Tu-204 (designed in the late 80's), and has a lot of Western avionics. Now the MS-21 will have Russian avionics as modern as the most recent Western ones.

    All airliners land in very much the same way. Landing checklists (a list of things to do) is very similar in all modern aircraft. The procedure itself varies between manual and ILS approach.

    Russian airliners traditionally used to fly with larger crew than their western counterparts - Il-62s flew with a crew of 5 (pilot, co-pilot, flight engineer, navigator, radioman).

    official press release from ilyushin http://www.ilyushin.org/press/news/ev6441/

    The contract to carry out development work on the creation of modernized passenger aircraft IL-96-400M


    February 8, 2017

    Between Aviation Complex. SV Ilyushin and United Aircraft Corporation signed a contract to carry out development work on the creation of modernized passenger aircraft IL-96-400M.

    In addition to the development activities, the program will create it include the organization of serial production, development and implementation of the state support of aircraft leasing companies selling system, development and implementation of after-sales service system.

    Creating IL-96-400M will contribute to solving the tasks of ensuring the availability of transport of the Russian regions, meeting the needs of long-haul aircraft equipment domestic production, as well as the technological independence of the Russian Fedkratsii.

    The wide-body long-haul passenger aircraft IL-96-400M created as a further development of the Il-96-300.

    The fuselage of the airliner will be extended to 9.65 meters, as the power plant will be used more powerful PS-90A1 engines instead of the PS-90A, which will improve fuel efficiency.


    IL-96-400M can take on board up to 390 passengers. large-diameter fuselage provides passengers with a modern level of comfort on long-haul flights. The passenger compartment is equipped with modern infotainment system, providing access to the Internet, television and satellite communication, convenient luggage shelves, a modern pantry-kitchen equipment.

    The aircraft is planned to establish a modern flight control and navigation system, to which IL-96-400M will meet all ICAO requirements for aircraft of such dimensions.

    Serial production of the IL-96-400M will be deployed at PJSC "VASO" in Voronezh.

    In terms of reliability, safety and efficiency of IL-96-400M is on a par with global peers.


    The aerodynamic configuration, assemblies and systems of the aircraft used modern design solutions, providing a high level of safety and efficiency of aircraft operation.

    Terms of the contract provide for the production of prototype Il-96-400M for flight tests. It is planned that the first time he will rise in the sky in 2019.

    So from official press we know the engine used is PS-90A1 , I wonder why not the modern A2 or A3 variant ?

    ok , first ssj-100 is modern and certified for automatic landing in europe , total handsfree in good weather unlike other russian passanger aircraft.

    second A1 engine variant has highest thrust of all versions and bit higher weight, consumption is about the same, they need A1 for this proper streched version of IL-96 because its heavier, it can pack more passangers and it will be about competitive with current lower oil prices!!

    but this is a 10 years late decision and also cooperation with chinese on joint widebody may suffer from lack of people from russian side.

    So the new Il-96-400M will be how long exactly?
    9,65m longer than the base Il-96-300 which is 55 meters long...so 64m long or thereabouts? In other words...it will still be as long as the original Il-96-400?

    I guess I'm also trying to figure out whether all the models developed from the baseline Il-96-300, in other words the Il-96M, Il-96T, Il-96TZ, Il-96-400 and now the Il-96-400M have the same fuselage stretch.

    https://www.aviaport.ru/digest/2017/02/14/419785.html


    Specific fuel consumption at the PD-14 to 12-16% lower than those of their foreign counterparts, and life cycle costs are lower by 15-20%. This engine operation will cost overall by 14-17% cheaper.

    About 9.6 m longer compared to IL-96-300

    But I expecpt most changes to be internal like using newer materials to significantly reduce weight from SSJ/MS-21 program may be couple of tons and using newer cockpit technology , extralarge MFD , HUD etc , More comformt for passengers etc

    Does anyone know what the long term plan is with the new Il-96?

    Will it be of a tech level say, comparable with the 787 Dreamliner? Or more like the 777?

    Also where will it fit in with the Sino-Russian wide bodied jet?

    Will it be a bit like Brahmos with India?
    eg Russia designs something for the other country, but uses its own home made version for its own use?

    Will the Il-96 form the basis for the new wide bodied jet. Or will the new wide bodied basically be a new design?

    As far as I can see, the Il-96 is an extremely good plane. Comparable to 777 and Airbus but not at the level of the MS-21 just yet.

    Finally, I wonder what sort of numbers will be produced. If this plane is good enough to be the Russian presidential plane, I'm sure its good enough to replace the Boeings in Russian civil fleets.
