Il-96-400TZ fuel tankers will not. Defense Ministry terminated the contract with the KLA

The Russian Ministry of Defense has decided to abandon the creation of a "global" tanker Il-96-400ТЗ, the newspaper "Izvestia" reported

Il-96-400TZ fuel tankers will not. Defense Ministry terminated the contract with the KLA




The Ministry of Defense terminated the contract concluded in 2015 with the KLA for the supply of two strategic tanker aircraft for the military aviation. Their final price - taking into account the development cycle, flight tests and the cost of extending the resource - turned out to be much higher than the originally discussed. At the same time, the Ministry of Defense for this money would not solve the problem of reaching serial deliveries of such aircraft.

According to the interlocutors of the publication, Ilyushin offered to convert two Il-96-400T wide-body cargo aircraft into an Il-96-400TZ tanker truck in an accelerated mode — in a year or two without a full R & D cycle. However, the Ministry of Defense did not agree with this proposal. The military insisted on finalizing the aircraft, including the installation of electronic warfare systems, ensuring the possibility of an emergency escape from the aircraft crew, and also on the fulfillment of other specific requirements. But this would require 4 – 5 years - meanwhile, the IL-96-400T will fully develop the remainder of the flight resource.

The Ministry of Defense confirmed the fact of termination of the contract for the supply of two IL-96-400TZ, but refused to comment further.

UAC did not provide a comment. In PJSC "IL" noted that the IL-96-400ТЗ is a project of a long-range trucker. It can be designed to replenish the fuel reserves of aircraft such as the Tu-160 and Tu-95 in the air.

Transport IL-96-400T - an elongated version of the passenger IL-96-300. The aircraft was certified in April 2008. Construction IL-96-400T was established at the Voronezh aircraft factory. In total, by order of the IFC, four cars of this type were built. Voronezh Airlines "Flight" were transferred to the three sides. In 2014, this carrier ceased operations, and the aircraft returned to IFC. One of them was converted into a VIP-liner for the Ministry of Defense. The fourth board was delivered in a special version of the IL-96-400VPU (air control point) for the Federal Security Service of Russia.

According to the technical task, IL-96 – 400ТЗ was supposed to transport over 65 tons of fuel for a distance of 3,5 thousand km. The first flight tests confirmed the possibility of such a modification of the liner.

At the same time, he had to simultaneously carry cargo and people. For this purpose, it was intended to place fuel tanks on the lower deck, on the upper deck, behind the crew cabin, there are seats for passengers, and behind them - a place for containers. The project IL-96-400ТЗ corresponds to the main characteristics of the American aircraft KS-10 and KS-135. There are no other analogues in the world. Other countries use tankers based on Boeing 767 and Airbus A320.

      You can make a tractor, if you try - just why? and what will it result in?
      The IL-96-400 becomes like a suitcase without a handle - and it’s uncomfortable to carry and throw a pity. And the plane is very beautiful, maybe it will have a future with new engines? And the Voronezh plant suffers the most, and so with orders tight, these also broke off.

        Some kind of nonsense, in our army there are too many tankers. A wonderful aircraft with a huge resource and some kind of wise guy or traitor refuses to purchase. There are no other refuelers when they build unknowingly.

          And why do they actually need a lot? Unification in the sun is an extremely important thing, there is the 76th and enough. But the idea of ​​remaking the IL-400 as a tanker was not born of a good life, the planes were simply idle and did not know where to adapt them.

            A four-engine aircraft is the best you can imagine for an air platform. Who has long been chopping IL planes for a long time, but Ilyushin’s planes are essentially more reliable and less critical to system failures (including engines) than their foreign counterparts and Tupolev’s planes. Yes, they lose in terms of efficiency, but this is the result of their reliability.
            PS About 15 years ago, a Tu-204 passenger airliner crashed accidentally in Omsk. Both engines failed and the aircraft had to plan for the runway. Thank God without any injuries. With a four-engine IL, this would not have happened

              He would land with four idle engines.
              Failure of 2 engines out of 2 says: either about the rejection of fuel, or - the failure of the fuel system, or - the failure of the engine management system. There is at least one, at least - 8 engines (the more, the worse).

                The fuel system for each engine is its own and is duplicated. It happens that a fire happens in the engine and then 3 is better than 1. Even the presidential board is repelled by this. And there safety is above all

        Suffers if they would have planted a smaller cut - we could have a refueler. If, as it were in the USSR, according to the table, zp would be prescribed, everything that was invented would fly. And now, until the director purchases the 10th hut in Moscow, he doesn’t send his daughter to England for studies, he doesn’t take his wife to the bali for six months - consider not profitable contracts either. I just learned about the development of an operating system for domestic cars - 3 billion rubles (for two years), not 10 lemons, not 156 lemons, not even 540 253 122 rubles, but 3 fucking lemons! The average salary of a programmer is 60 pieces per month. It will take about 10-20 programmers (the core just do 3 will write). 15-30 lemons per salary. Well, let there be an office, some kind of software, in general even 50 lemons. But 3 lard !!! 1,6% of the allocated amount is enough to cover development costs. And this is like the budget of the Russian Federation. That is why we will not have tankers.

          In terms of fuel efficiency, the IL-78 and does not lie next to it compared to the 96th. The aerodynamics of the 96th are much better. This is understandable, the aircraft was created for long-distance routes, and the 76/78th transport carrier. A strategic tanker would surely be very good. Moreover, the delivery dates of the new 76/78th are constantly shifting to the right.

    Secondly: all the aircraft he listed: KS-10 and KS-135, Boeing 767 and Airbus, are one line with the IL-96. Namely: they are based on passenger airliners.
