The first Il-76MD-90A assembled on the production line was handed over for testing in Ulyanovsk

The Ulyanovsk Aviastar-SP JSC handed over for testing the first military transport aircraft Il-76MD-90A assembled on the production line. This is reported by the press service of the UAC.

The first IL-76MD-90A, assembled on the production line, was transferred to the flight station for ground and flight tests.

The company reported that the new production line launched at Aviastar-SP has made it possible to reduce the labor intensity of the aircraft assembly process by 38%. The line itself consists of ten stations for docking of individual elements, installation of power plants and aircraft systems. It is assumed that the introduction of the new assembly technology will make it possible to assemble more than 10 aircraft per year, which is what the Russian Ministry of Defense is seeking.

The start of the installation of the largest automated assembly line in Russia at Aviastar-SP was announced in November 2018. It was said that the line includes two stations, at each of which the fuselage, wing and tail sections are automatically docked, as well as six automated stations for the installation of systems, power plant and workshop processing. It is possible that an error crept into the primary information and the automated stations were not six, but eight, judging by the KLA report about 10 stations on the line.

In March of this year, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced that the military department this year will receive five new heavy military transport aircraft Il-76MD-90A, but they wanted to get all ten. According to the minister, in the future, the production of new and modernized Il-76MD-90A should be increased to 20 aircraft per year.

The delivery of the Il-76MD-90A is delayed. In May 2020, the Ministry of Defense renewed the contract with Aviastar-SP on new terms. Now, under the old contract in 2012, the plant will now commission a total of 13 Il-76MD-90A aircraft, and from 2021 a new contract for the supply of 14 such aircraft will enter into force.

Are you talking about coloring, or what? Yes, the livery of the liner can be any, whatever, according to the artist's imagination.

But the external generic noble, graceful features laid down by the creators of the machine during the Soviet Union, you really cannot hide. After all, outwardly, by contours, the Il-76MD-90A, this is the Il-76 ...

Noticing that outwardly they just can be easily distinguished from each other.

[lucul]

The engines are new, they are more powerful, more economical, respectively, the range and load capacity of the aircraft has increased.

And there is :
"Compared to the Il-76MD, the new version is already a completely different aircraft. And the point is not even the new PS-90A engines, which significantly increased the key characteristics of the Il. The aircraft received a new, more durable wing, the landing gear was reinforced, and a new avionics.

As a result of all these modifications, the aircraft's flight range increased from 4000 km to 5000 km, the payload increased from 48 to 60 tons, and the aircraft itself is designed for more than 40 years of service or 10 take-off and landing cycles. "

[sifgame]

And what was it supposed to be? The production of the Il-76 was restored in the territory of the Russian Federation, modernized, it became longer, the wing was different, the carrying capacity increased slightly, the engines were new again. IL-76 time-tested, excellent design and will serve, I wanted to write forever, but I'll just write for a very long time)

[Joker62]

Yes, the Il-76 was assembled in Tashkent, where the entire aircraft plant was stupidly ditched ... And it is criminal to lose such a brainchild as the Il-76. Therefore, he decided to restore production in the Russian Federation, in Ulyanovsk. From here came the big changes, tk. everything was done in digital format.

[AC130 Gunship]

Its "peer" from the US Air Force S141, according to many characteristics of which the Il76 still has not caught up (for example, the flight range with full commercial load), worked honestly and was decommissioned in 2006. The park was replaced by C17

[figwam]

I hope now the assembly of aircraft will speed up, not only transport workers are needed, but also tankers and AWACS.

[Alex777]

In March of this year, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced that the military department this year will receive five new heavy military transport aircraft Il-76MD-90A, but they wanted to get all ten.

The star has already received a "pendel from above".
I hope that Aviastar will understand everything correctly and will finally start working as expected.

[sustav75]

As expected, it is not profitable for them! They are ready to stretch the production of one car for decades! A penny goes to the workers! Managers receive gold parachutes, everything is clear.

[sifgame]

Come on, do you think the state pays them hourly? Or maybe under a contract, in which the terms are also spelled out

[Alex777]

Not certainly in that way. There are many who want to lead, but few who know how to "turn the nuts" correctly. Therefore, the timing is creeping.

Good communication.
The only pity is that the next plane cannot be seen in the photo behind the plane being rolled out from the production line.

[Bad_gr]

Rivets are easier to calculate. Welding is not so predictable in this respect. Although on new aircraft of the Su-35S type, where aluminum-lithium alloys are in priority, welding rules the ball.

[JD1979]

The same as on the Kukuruznik and on the Su-57 - rivets.

The production line for IL 76 was at TAPOICH in Tashkent, and in Ulyanovsk it is not so easy to restore it.
Mr. Yeltsin and his associates did everything to destroy Soviet industry for the sake of good relations with overseas curators. Now we are reaping the benefits and I think we will not recover soon. Civil aviation is generally full of seams!

[saygon66]

- And how did Yeltsin take part in the ruin of TAPOICH? By that time, the Union no longer existed, it was just that the national personnel did not pull such production ...

[ramzay21]

And who destroyed the USSR? Or is this a new version of the story?

[saygon66]

- Well, everything ... Appointed a scapegoat! Today Putin is to blame for everything, yesterday Yeltsin, the day before yesterday Gorbachev ... Genghis Khans of our day, yo!
- Production could have been saved, but the national elites who came to power in Uzbekistan preferred to sell the legacy of the Union for metal. As well as "Bulb", Selmash and much more ... Or they could have made a profit from their own aviation industry!

[ramzay21]

And who started the Saratov aircraft plant 9 years ago? What about the Samara aircraft plant, once the largest in Europe? How do barely breathing KAPO and VASO feel?
Are the aliens to blame for this, or are the Genghis Khans?

[saygon66]

- Not otherwise Boris Nikolaich personally sold and wasted ... They stole it on the spot! Or not?

[ramzay21]

He is a criminal, his actions fall under the most stringent articles of the Criminal Code, including attempts to change the state system, high treason, embezzlement of state funds on an especially large scale. On all counts Capital measure with confiscation of property.

[saygon66]

- Maybe! Our history is unpredictable ... References to stupid leadership remind the postulate that pyanka for no reason is alcoholism, and for a reason - a holiday ...
- Well, why don't you steal, if you don't mind from above? And the reason was ...

[ramzay21]

Who signed the Belovezhskaya Agreements, which meant the collapse of the USSR? And who authorized him to do this, if the people at the referendum voted by an absolute majority to preserve the USSR?

[saygon66]

- Who in our history did the people empower? From Gostomysl to our age?

[ramzay21]

The people were asked in this case and he answered. And the fact that Yeltsin did this is a criminal offense. Or are you against the observance of the laws of the state?

[saygon66]

- I don’t remember that someone asked me, but I answered something ... Although, a remote corner of the Empire ... China is nearby, news from the metropolis arrives late ...
- And "Let the people think again!" (C)

[kventinasd]

Looking at the constantly half-sober leader of Russia, the local Uzbek bai preferred to sell off the legacy of the USSR faster than to deal with an inadequate conductor.

[saygon66]

- Yes, there Moscow has never been particularly in the decree ... Just quick money! Moreover, the owners are gone ...

[kventinasd]

When Moscow began removing equipment from its strategic factories in Uzbekistan, local authorities quickly began riveting criminal cases against business leaders, although everything was signed on paper. The Uzbeks did not know what to do with the remaining equipment, but the main thing was not to let the invaders take it out. De-communization was carried out there much faster than in present-day Ukraine, and no one really blabbed among the Yeltsin entourage when the monuments were demolished and the streets were renamed.

[saygon66]

- All were taken out! Kilotons of aluminum cauldrons were sent to the States ...

[patriot line]

The complete idiocy of the times of the USSR is the placement of strategic serious enterprises in the national republics, thus they tried to achieve that the nationals become like Russians, work in factories, and live in cities. The failure was complete, in fact the visiting Russians were working, but local personnel were in charge. And there were many such factories.

[ramzay21]

Placed enterprises in their country where necessary, everything was calculated from an economic and social point of view. It never occurred to anyone under Stalin that either cretins or traitors would come to power, and for the amusement of the whole world they would make a bunch of colonies out of the superpower, with princelings at the head.

[ramzay21]

Come on? Tashkent, like the UzSSR, was an ordinary part of the USSR. And TAPOiCH was the largest aircraft plant in the USSR. They even made wings for the An 124 and An 225 on it. They produced several dozen Il 76s a year, plus more than a dozen sets of wings for the An 124 and were preparing to produce a hundred Il 114 a year.

[saygon66]

- Cauldrons that ... Defective pistons for agricultural machinery and diesel locomotives ... In our Nikolaev workshops, all the tracks were cleaned, and the garbage was sifted for non-ferrous metals ...

[Joker62]

It is easier for them to produce tomatoes with peaches than heavy industry!

[Joker62]

The destruction of the Union must begin with Khrushchev and end with the Gorbachev-Yeltsin period.
The main burden lies on the conscience of the former first president of the Union - Gorbachev, while Yeltsin, along with drinking companions - Kravchuk and Shushkevich - they simply finished off already in the Belovezhsky forest ... So this is not a new story, but a continuation of History ...

I do not know what old lines there were in the ancient highly developed civilization, but they managed to collect up to 80 boards a year on them in the 65s of the last century.

One is dead, now monuments are being erected to him and the center of his name has been built. The second in Germany is still smoking the sky.

It would be correct to judge them according to the Criminal Code of the USSR, there for high treason, embezzlement of state property on an especially large scale. Capital punishment, with confiscation, is envisaged. And the oligarchs would not be and the country would become rich.
It would be interesting to see the last speech of the hunchback and Chubais before the gallows.

There was information that the lion's share of the equipment was new. Moreover, all the documentation for the IL-76 was digitized (which took a lot of time) and linked to programmable machines.

[alex aircraft]

Progress is evident. Bravo !! just compare how much a year under the Soviet Union they did on TashpoiCh and how much they think to produce on all these super-duper lines (the machine tool fleet is all imported)

[zwlad]

And you try to do at least something from scratch, preferably something more complicated. Perhaps after that you will stop joking.

[Jacket in stock]

Quote: zwlad

And you try to do at least something from scratch,

Why from scratch?
The assembly plant was in Ulyanovsk and existed until 1991.
Many picking suppliers have not gone anywhere either.
It was just necessary to master a new product, and not even a completely new one, but a modernized old one. What a zero it is.
This is just a way of doing business in modern Russia, when the result is not the production of aircraft (ships, tanks, televisions ...) but the process of mastering the budget.

[zwlad]

The assembly plant was in Ulyanovsk and existed until 1991.

Well, what was it? What is left of it after the 90s?
The hangars were left empty alone.
Therefore, from scratch.

[know]

From what zero then? They built a new plant, invented new machines, developed a new aircraft, created new design bureaus?
They did it from scratch in another country.

[zwlad]

Are you going to assemble an airplane with your bare hands out of nothing?
We need equipment, tools, technological documentation, qualified personnel. All this was safely ditched in the 90s.

[know]

It will not work that way. From scratch this is some kind of uncle Ilyushin or Tupolev. Developing a new aircraft. You see, there was no such glider, but it was invented and developed from scratch.
And they digitized and walked along the beaten track, which they passed before, this is not from scratch.

[zwlad]

What are you stubborn!
I am writing to you about the process of mastering mass production in the presence of only walls and a roof in the room. This is from scratch. Yes, there is a process for developing a new product. But then you try to master its production at a new enterprise and you will immediately understand everything.

[know]

And not stubborn, who agree with you right away?
You contradict yourself. If the product has already been developed. Well, it's kind of a priori not from scratch. Not?
Or imagine, we have created a new production, well, very modern.
And there is nothing to produce on it, because the product was not created. So in this situation, will it be possible to produce an airplane?

[zwlad]

Well done! So we can slowly restore the destroyed industry.

[Jacket in stock]

The news about the launch of the production line was a year and a half ago

August 27 2019

An automated assembly line has been launched at the Ulyanovsk Aviastar-SP aircraft plant, which will significantly accelerate the production of Il-76MD-90A heavy military transport aircraft and its modifications. This was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to a source in the aircraft industry.

Now we have assembled the first car on this line.
Is this the production cycle or am I still missing something?

[patriot line]

Here, most commentators rejoice in the soul, they do not go into reality and details. It is even possible that such news is fabricated by special journalists according to the principle - raised old materials, enough time has passed, we publish again.

[maiman61]

The soul rejoices when our army receives new weapons! And even more is needed! It will be quieter to live!

[faterdom]

God grant. The news is not about the plane, but about the line!
Shoigu is right here - given our size and threats, we need an impressive fleet of such aircraft with pilots and airfields.
So that suddenly our brigades and divisions could be where they are urgently needed - after all, not only the Crimean peninsula can be a decisive factor, it is time to think about the Iberian and Apennine, Scandinavian and Labrador, Yucatan, Alaska and California, in the end ...
and any of them the emergence of some of our Red Banner Order of Lenin brigades with cover for S-400 and 350, MIGs 31 with "Daggers", and "Boreas" nearby under water at the right precise moment will help to understand any barrels and other rasmussen there - partners that they are not very right ...
It will be possible to take the leaflet in the right hand, throw down the weapon so that we can see, raise both hands up and loudly shouting "Hitler kaput" to approach the representatives of the Red Banner Separate, and so on ...
The Tribunal will then take into account active remorse and good behavior ...

[Captain45]

The photo for the article is good, it coolly conveys the scale and dimensions of the products. Everyone saw the Kirovets tractor, but the Il-76 was not the only one. I was lucky to fly it to Moscow in 1999, when cops from all over Russia were caught up in the explosions of houses in the capital.

[andrewkor]

In the 80s at TAPOiCH without any automated lines in stocks they produced 6 boards a month! That plant disappeared, leaving only the Aviator market, the Aviasozlar residential area, the Kadyshev market, the V. Irgasheva, abandoned DKTA, Technopark.

[saygon66]

- So, according to the rumors of specialists from TAPOICH and LIS, they were organized in Ulyanovsk and taken out ...

[Pavel57]

A robotic complex for automatic riveting was purchased at Achiastar in the 90s. But I'm not sure if he survived to this day.

[Gennady Fomkin]

Well, for understanding, this is still a very modernized aircraft. And of course, they have been made before, up to this day, just now the line has been built, without a slip.

IL-76MD-90A aircraft, built under the 2012 contract:

z / n 0108 (RF-78654), first flight - December 15, 2015
z / n 0109 (RF-78655), first flight - November 7, 2018

z / n 0205 (RF-78660), first flight - December 6, 2020

[Gennady Fomkin]

For accuracy. The plant began to move from Tashkent in 2008 to 2010. A lot of politics climbed out, although the economy too. Then there was the process of modernizing the aircraft itself. Il - 76 has a future and does not cause any special worries.

But with IL 214 there are many questions. Miscellaneous came across in the press. They closed and opened. 

[AC130 Gunship]

The navigator's cockpit remained (although it has been gone for a long time on those supplied to the same China). This means that his slide rule is also somewhere on the shelf there. 21st year we live in the 21st century ...

[ramzay21]

The plane is military, if the war and satellites knock down, then there will be no satellite navigation, then you will have to fly in the old fashioned way, for this you need a navigator. The Chinese apparently do not understand everything in aviation, they do not have such experience yet.

[Bad_gr]

Quote: ramzay21

and the satellites will knock down, then there will be no satellite navigation, ...

Many expensive machines purchased abroad are tied to the place of installation. That is, without the knowledge of the manufacturer, it will not be possible to independently remove from one place and install in another: the machine will determine by GPS that the coordinates are not the same and will not start.
In this regard, the question is: if the GPS satellites turn off, will the machines (with reference by coordinates) work after that, or will the whole economy be cut down?

[ramzay21]

Good question.

[ramzay21]

The plane is beautiful, in the USSR almost all planes were beautiful. That is why it was impossible to name this modification of the Il 76 for example Il 76A? Who came up with so many letters in the modification to insert?

[Andrey1978]

Good news. Hats off to the team of test designers, curators of the Il76 project. God grant orders to the plant. I hope for the policy of educating the next generation in the factory environment, both in design and in assembly. We are now selling Chinese cowards in a former aviation station in Saratov. And the personnel from the plant are busy with what ... Turners are kopeck fittings in garages for gas oil, the spheres are sharpening, electronics engineers are selling radio components in the bazaar ...

[alekc75]

breshut-they can 2 a month! just no one wants-the top has enough money

Il-76MD-90A and Il-476 - are they the same aircraft or are they somehow different? 476 - rare, but it happens.
