Il-96-300 is one of the most reliable wide-body aircraft in the world. The air giant also performs the mission of aircraft No. 1 - it provides flights for the President of the Russian Federation, Rostec said.
The aircraft was developed under the leadership of aircraft designer Heinrich Novozhilov, at that time the general designer of the Ilyushin Design Bureau. Serial production and maintenance of the Il-96-300 is currently taking place at the enterprise of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC, part of Rostec).
When designing the machine, special attention was paid to safety. The aircraft has multi-channel redundant systems that automatically turn off or switch faulty channels.
The plane is a real marathon runner among domestic airliners and can fly across Russia, covering a distance of more than 10 thousand kilometers without refueling. The heart of the aircraft is the economical and environmentally friendly PS-90A engine.
Il-96-300 is a symbol of reliability, engineering school and traditions of domestic aircraft construction, Rostec concluded.
