"Ilyushin Finance Co." handed over to the FSB an Il-96-400VPU aircraft

In its press release from 9, November Ilyushin Finance Co. (IFC) reported that it had transferred the re-equipped IL-96 aircraft to the customer (FSB).

“The joint stock company 5 in November 2015 of the year commissioned the next Il-96 aircraft to the customer. The aircraft was converted at the Voronezh aircraft plant "VASO" into a special package with the Air Control Center with a luxury cabin, after which it successfully passed the full range of ground and flight tests in accordance with customer requirements. The new aircraft was created on the basis of the IL-96-400T owned by IFK.- quotes a blog bmpd message of the enterprise.

The author explains that we are talking about “the former IL-96-400T cargo aircraft (RA-96104 registration number, 97693201004 serial number), rebuilt into an IL-96-400VPU control aircraft for the Federal Security Service of Russia.”

From the moment it was built in 2011, the aircraft remained in storage at the Voronezh plant. For the first time, plans for its re-equipment became known at the end of 2012. In July, the test flights of the machine were started on 2015.

After the disaster in Egypt, the passenger Il-96 seems to have a second chance. Ilyushin Aviation Complex is considering the possibility of resuming its serial production at VASO.
It is expected that this will be a deep modernization. At one time, IL-96 was recognized as not meeting modern requirements for noise level. And mass production was minimized to 2013. However, during operation, the liner managed to prove itself well. In any case, there were no disasters with his participation.
Now the "silt" is actively used by the squadron of the President of Russia, in addition, the planes are operated by the Cuban airline.

So then delivered.

It became known that the Cuban state airline Cubana de Aviación, through the Russian leasing company OJSC Ilyushin Finance Co., leased two Il-96-300 wide-body passenger aircraft, decommissioned by Aeroflot Russian Airlines... The aircraft RA-96008 (built in 1993) and RA-96011 (built in 1994) were purchased. The first of them received the Cubana logo on board at the end of August (while retaining a part of Aeroflot's livery with the Russian flag on the keel) and the Cuban registration number CU-T1717.

Aeroflot took advantage of the aggravation of the discussion about the age of aircraft flying in the country that unfolded after the plane crash in Kazan, and raised the issue of withdrawing IL-96 from its fleet (bought Boigi and Airbus)

True, against the background of the signing by China with Boeing of a contract for 380 airplanes, including competitors in the Superbudget class, and the return of airplanes from Laos and Indonesia, the SCAC is more silent about “seizing the market in the segment”. And that's right - 10 yards LADY threw - you have to chew, not to chants.

Still fly: a decision was made to revive the production of IL-96


Moscow, 06.11.15/20/53 - XNUMX:XNUMX
OJSC Ilyushin Aviation Complex is planning to revive mass production of IL-96 passenger aircraft, Interfax reports citing a statement by the company's general designer Nikolai Talikov.

Ilyushin Aviation Complex OJSC plans to revive mass production of IL-96 passenger aircraft
Currently, the IL-96 is operated in the presidential flight squad, which already says a lot
He noted that a deep modernization of the liner is expected, which at one time was prophesied as the flagship of Soviet and Russian aviation.

Currently, the IL-96 is operated in the presidential flight squad, which already says a lot about it, as well as the Cuban airline, where the airliners managed to put in front of a campaign to buy old Boeing that flared up in our country.

In addition, the plans of the airline complex in the near future to restore, as part of import substitution, the production of the Il-114 passenger plane in Russia. This turbvinotovy plane is intended for local airlines. Serial production was supposed to be placed in Tashkent, but the collapse of the USSR prevented this. A total of 17 cars were built.

The IL-96 is a wide-body long-range aircraft and was produced from 1993 to 2013 at the facilities of Voronezh Joint-Stock Aircraft Manufacturing OJSC. A plane of truly tragic fate costs half the price of a similar Boeing-767, easier and cheaper to maintain. In addition, it is able to land with four idle engines (i.e. all), which Boeing is incapable of in principle.

In addition, Ilyushin plans to develop a new Il-2021 heavy transport aircraft by 2022-106, for which approval of the Russian Ministry of Defense has already been received. According to Talikov, this is a completely new aircraft that can lift up to 100 tons of payload into the air.

Thanks to Pagasyan, Manturov and others, our civil aviation industry has been ditched. Highly qualified specialists dispersed, illiterate in management

And after the appointment of Serdyukov, you can forget about the development of civil aircraft construction, this is equivalent to letting the wolf run into a sheep herd.
The development of the domestic aviation industry is thousands of jobs and tax revenues to the treasury. Medvedev’s government is the fifth column mired in corruption and nepotism.

Yes, no one let him into oblivion. On its base, tankers began to make. Let's see what happens to the civilians.

And we fly, while I hope, in Boeing ... But in 1993, I flew IL-86 from Moscow to Yekaterinburg once! Beauty was power !!!

[g1v2]

Government agencies need reliability and that the plane was domestic, that’s what they are buying. Commercial carriers need to eat little and transport more people, but there are problems with this. Comrades gave a comparison of the gluttony of IL96, Boeing and watermelon. Those are cheaper, which means if our companies switch to il96, then ticket prices will have to be raised - so they will fly less. However, now there is a lot of talk about deep modernization of the il96 to make it more economical, about new engines. By the way, I wanted to ask Ss about the possibility of installing new PD14s that they are now experiencing. If the plane becomes more economical, it is quite possible that the airlines will force it to buy. There Aeroflot has already ordered 50 superjets (21 of them are already flying) and 50 ms21, which are still missing. I think that it is not of my own free will. If IL96 becomes comparable in costs to Boeing and watermelons, then most likely Aeroflot will be obliged to take it. Moreover, the transaero, which did not favor domestic aircraft, was buried and Aeroflot will most likely take its market share.

IL-96 behaves steadily in the air, not like "PAZik with wings (my friends call it the airbus) when I happened to fly in the Ilyushin Design Bureau, the air pockets were felt only during takeoff and landing. And the airbus and Boeings were shaking like PAZ on a primer.)))

Sorry stupid question, on your part. Of course for 86, 96 its dimensions play! I hope you will not deny that a feather is easier to blow away than a brick? And in the rest, do you want to breed with ... what? So I'm not going to

[33 Watcher]

That is what he wants to say, and will be absolutely right. Shakes, does not shake ... This is called flight performance, which in turn consists of the aerodynamics of a particular machine. Ilya fly very well, they are very reliable. And starting with IL-76, all Ilyushin’s cars are masterpieces, each of its kind. And passenger cars were leaked, 86, 96, for one simple reason, freed up markets for Western friends, well, then we were very friends with them.

[Cook]

What does aerodynamics have to do with it, and what specific characteristics affect this? I will understand more if the conversation goes about weight and dimensions. So in this case, the Jambo Jet is out of competition. Well leaked then, and now why not return to them? Once such masterpieces?

He flew this miracle in Thailand in 2009, esno Aeroflot. I can say that the plane is really excellent, it goes very smoothly in the air, it does not talk, does not throw it. Compared to bean 747, ours is much more comfortable, except that there are no televisions there, but it’s a matter of configuration, I think you don’t need to put a lot of TV in the seats, but according to the flight sensations, it will give odds to many, if not all.

So it turns out that they are the same in terms of fuel.

I will answer right away to everyone in whose minds there was hope. Where-where and at the Voronezh VASO, they won’t start producing anything like this in series, because experienced specialists aren’t massively working there. Aviation College does not train specialists for production. You can say and solve anything, only any technologically complex task requires trained and competent personnel, which, unfortunately, has been lost for years!

[Buffalo]

You do not know - do not talk rubbish!
At VASO - 9500 people, approximately, work. Do you think they are all fools? There are training programs, money has been allocated for workers and students of VSTU. There is ALREADY an order for 16 cars. Production has long been debugged.

[Trigger-Happy]

Well, if everything has changed for the better, then I'm only glad about it. Of course, I don’t have the latest data, for the sake of this I’ll find out how things are now, there are friends there, a cat. By the way, they said that. 25 worked in the aviation union, of course they did a lot of non-core activities there. Apparently you yourself consider your fools your colleagues - these are your words, and I spoke about experienced specialists who went to the 000s. You can teach anyone who is literate and willing, but they must be taught by an experienced person and share their experience, but where do they get indignant if they built several cars from scratch in 90 years?

[ydjin]

Here’s another 2 kopecks I’ll add to the topic, the Airbus of our Sakhalin air campaign Aurora (former CAT), which was carrying out their flight from Khabarovsk to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky after take-off, was forced to return back to Khabarovsk because of the cracked windshield of the cockpit! What kind of firewood fly with us?

[Mama_Cholli]

I saw on TV a test pilot and a hero of Russia (according to my TVC about the crashed / shot down Boeing), his name, unfortunately, I don't remember, said about our planes that they are heavier, and not as economical as foreign ones, but much more reliable, since the design there were higher demands. At least for operation at airfields from -50 to +50. Foreign planes, he said, "freeze" (various units) in such conditions.

[Cook]

You know I won’t believe it, because I have a flight engineer flight of 9000 hours. The last type that I mastered was the B747-200 / -300. Wing area, compare for yourself: Il96-300 Skr = 361m2 / Take-off weight 250t; A330 Skr = 361m2 / Take-off weight 242t; V777 Skr = 427m2 / Vl.s. weight 299t; V767 Skr283m2 / Vzl weight 186t. No safety tales are needed either. Take and compare our AP25 (Airworthiness Standards of transport category aircraft) with the American FAR25 or European CS25, they have long been harmonized with themselves, and even the paragraph numbers converge. In the airline where I worked, in the Technical Department, 1700 people worked for aircraft maintenance, Russians trained according to international standards, not infringed on by anyone and proud of what they were doing. No one argues that they need their own aircraft-building industry, but it is unfair to explain the lack of interest in domestic aircraft by airlines for betrayal or kickbacks. Explain to me why, after stopping and resuming flights on Il96, the GDP continued to fly on them without problems, and at the same time allowed Aeroflot, the national type of carrier, to put them at the fence?

Are you a designer? IL-86 and IL-96 were designed, even according to Soviet standards of strength, and Soviet standards are tougher than American ones.

[Cook]

Can you confirm this with documents in hand?

[Cook]

Here is the history of the issue:
Aircraft airworthiness standards. The first edition of the "USSR Civil Aircraft Airworthiness Standards" (NLGS) was put into effect in 1967. They were based on ICAO requirements, generalized scientific research and practical development of civil aviation equipment in the mid-60s, as well as the experience of its testing and exploitation. Later, after making five changes to them, NLGS became known as NLGS-1 (1972).
The second edition of the "USSR Civil Aircraft Airworthiness Standards" (NLGS-2) was introduced in 1974. NLGS-2 corresponded to the levels of the US (FAR) and Great Britain (BCAR) standards of that period. In the period 1975 ... 80. these Standards were introduced into the practice of industry and civil aviation and played an important role in the creation, certification and operation of new generation aircraft Il-86, Yak-42, An-28 and L-410, increasing the level of flight safety, as well as in the accumulation of domestic experience in practical application of airworthiness requirements.

[Trigger-Happy]

Quote: Cook

but to explain the lack of interest in airlines for domestic aircraft by betrayal or kickbacks is unfair

Well, explain, in your opinion, why our airlines are not interested in the domestic aviation industry?

[Cook]

Of course I will answer you. Firstly, I am the same patriot of my Country as the majority of visitors to this site, and I love and am proud of domestic aviation no less than yours. But, unlike most of the interlocutors, I work for a commercial airline and I had the opportunity to operate both domestic and foreign aviation equipment, so to speak, I had the opportunity to compare. You can argue, of course, to infinity, but please be patient and calmly sort my arguments. Let's start with the engines. I must say, unfortunately, but in terms of fuel efficiency, our planes and engines are inferior, not catastrophically of course, but inferior to the western ones. Here, the reputable SSI provided data on engine thrust, it can be seen that for IL and Airbus the total engine thrust is 64 tons and 68 tons, respectively, if roughly necessary for safe takeoff, the thrust will be 15% of take-off weight, respectively 37,5 tons for IL and 36,3 tons for the Airbus. Accordingly, the underutilized thrust reserve per engine will be 6.5 tons for Il and almost 32 tons for Airbus. I know from my own experience that the declared thrust on our engines is provided at an ambient temperature of + 20'C and below. If higher, then the cut begins and traction sags. Therefore, our aircraft usually take off at full thrust. The adversary, with such a crazy reserve of traction, uses Derate, that is, takes off at a reduced mode, and quite significantly saves resource, fuel and everything else. And Western engines retain the declared thrust up to + 34'C. Such an almost twofold reserve of thrust is needed to ensure safe take-off continuation in the event of a single engine failure. Naturally, before takeoff, calculations are carried out to determine the required thrust, and in case of engine failure, the working one is displayed at full thrust. Now compare the performance characteristics of these aircraft, and think about which airplane the carrier would prefer, even if all else being equal, the first has four engines, and not two, while more loaded, with less resource, with less time between failures. With the need to more often undergo maintenance, with a chronic lack of spare parts and the inability to rent a replacement engine, in case of failure or damage. As a carrier, with such unpredictability, make a schedule and maintain it? Moreover, without raising the price of tickets, because there is real competition in this market. Understand, finally, that the carrier chooses an airplane suitable for his business model, not for its beauty or for the delightful sound from running engines, but for the combination of qualities that allow for a normal transportation economy and flight safety. Air transportation is accompanied by very high overhead costs, you decide for yourself to complete the flight, you have to pay: for kerosene, ground handling of aircraft, maintenance of aircraft, maintenance and inspection of passengers, for take-off and landing, for air navigation services, for catering, salary for the crew. At the same time, costs must be included in the cost of the flight hour: for sewing crew uniforms, leasing payments, possible risks of damage or downtime, expenses for labor-intensive maintenance, staff training, flight safety, and much more for that. Significant working capital is needed, and any even small cost reduction is of great importance. The airplane itself cannot be considered a successful commercial project until a system has been built for its profitable and safe operation. And here we, sadly, are still great behind the west.

[Trigger-Happy]

Well, actually I have similar conclusions and were made, without such details, of course. The answer is interesting, not too lazy to write such a text, thanks. It is clear that under the current conditions, our manufacturers simply will not be able to compete with the same Airbus. Although Aeroflot buys superjets and not only him, I don’t think that to my own detriment.

Sick people do not have that kind of money to launch production, set up airplanes and then pay extra to passengers so that they fly on them. This was only during the USSR.

[Buffalo]

And airline employees, in your opinion, they, in principle, cannot be patriots? Or admit this, as an exception. So, besides this, they still consider the cost of buying fuel. And here our planes often lose to foreign ones. Design Bureau of engine builders traditionally worked mainly on the defense industry. And the army of the USSR, never considered kerosene costs. And for GA, too, gluttonous engines were made.
And since then, fuel has become very expensive ...

[Cook]

You do not read my posts or what? Isn't that what I'm writing about?

[Cook]

And yet, of course you may not believe me, but here is an excerpt from an interview with the CEO of "RedWings". You can read the full version on the internet. Perhaps reading it will help you figure out why airlines do not really want to get involved with the domestic aviation industry.

"... Red Wings is in the state of a supplicant for the UAC. Tu-204 is an aircraft created for the 27st century, and it has everything to operate safely and efficiently. But the characteristics of the aircraft are artificially deteriorated by people in the Tupolev Design Bureau. These people make it I have a wealth of experience working with Western aircraft manufacturers Airbus and Boeing. Both companies hold large conferences two or three times a year to discuss the topic of aircraft operation. At them the operators are asked what needs to be done in order to to make the plane better. For this we are also paid. In Russia the situation is absolutely opposite. We send to the design bureau our recommendations on how to make the aircraft effective, and to do it not constructively, but to change the package of documents. We are told: pay money. I have already paid money by buying this plane, and you must say thank you to me for knowing how to make the plane effective. I lose 134 thousand rubles on each flight to Hurghada only because of the fact that the design bureau applied to the aircraft of the XXI century the technical regulations of transit service, which were used on the Tu-11. Nobody has it, but we have it. We still have to drain liquid from the toilet into the category of maintenance, and, accordingly, in an off-base airport, I must have engineers who will do this. The same goes for operating, loading and everything else. The situation with spare parts is generally disastrous. XNUMX months ago I placed an order to buy windshields. Until now, the order has not been fulfilled. The brake pad situation is generally ludicrous. The brake pads do not work even a third of the designated resource, and they are not on the market. There is no alternative supplier of spare parts and assemblies. Every day I am bothered by different "spider bugs" that call and offer the same units, but only for cash. We do not buy anything for cash, as we have clean, transparent accounting. The artificial deficit, I am sure, is created by the people who work at these enterprises. Unfortunately, we and KB speak different languages. If you look at the structure of Boeing Civil Aircraft, you will see in the top management five to ten people who used to work in air transport. They headed both the technical departments and the airlines themselves. They understand what operators need. Only the presence of such a whip as free access to the Western aircraft market will force the Design Bureau and the UAC to turn in front of us.

- Maybe the problem is in the Tu-204 itself?

[Cook]

“I'm in love with this plane, even though Boeing has been flying all my life.” As a manager, I have a drive, since before me no one could operate these aircraft cost-effectively, but we can. Tu-204 can be operated efficiently, some of them fly 370 hours a month. It is only necessary to change documents. Western design bureaus receive money from flying planes, ours - including from idle ones. It is beneficial to them that the planes are idle. But once patience will burst, and we will abandon such aircraft. Here is another example. We ordered new Tu-204-100B aircraft with an increased take-off weight of up to 105 tons to obtain certain advantages in loading. What do you think? They were made to us, but the mass of an empty aircraft was increased by 2 tons. To our question “why?” There is only one answer - "experimented." We got a plane 2 tons heavier that carries the same amount of cargo and passengers. Unfortunately, they put heavier seats on it, and we did not get any savings in terms of load. In the cockpit that we made on the Tu-204-100B, there is an amazing navigation system that allows you to automatically enter through inaccurate systems. But this system is not certified, because the KB does not want to do this.

[Cook]

- Not a single parameter ordered planes do not meet the technical specifications. We take these planes with the hope that people in the design bureau will someday wake up market consciousness. Having sent the technical task for aircraft maintenance, in response we received a letter requesting to send spare parts and filters for maintenance. Just think about it: the manufacturing plant asks me, the operator, to buy filters on my own. The supply of spare parts has turned into a criminal business from which someone is feeding. We can buy other pads, but they are uncertified.

In Tupolev Design Bureau there is not a single businessman and not a single person who has ever worked for an airline. I also worked very closely with the management of Boeing and Airbus, so I can say: in the divisions in which they are directly involved in aircraft construction, after-sales service, and marketing, most of the people worked in airlines. They know the needs of carriers.

[NordUral]

What a bastard ruined this great plane!

[Cook]

And you know that the most unpleasant thing is that in our aviation authorities, there are also very few people actually engaged in the operation of aircraft in airlines, and who know the problems of carriers when working in modern conditions. There are many experienced people, but they either came from the same aviation industry or their experience is related to the operation of aircraft during the USSR.
