The idea of making the Il-96 aircraft twin-engine with PD-35 engines is utopian, as it would require significant changes to the design of the aircraft. This was stated by aviation expert Oleg Panteleev.
According to him, it is easier to design a new liner, in the construction of which composite materials will be more widely used, and new systems and units will appear.
But this is a very costly story. To justify investments in the project, the future aircraft needs an external sales market. Russia does not need many wide-body aircraft for domestic passenger airlines.
The industry specialist believes that the production rate of Il-96 up to 3-4 units per year is quite capable of covering Russia's needs for the next 10-15 years, while the previously imported "foreign cars" remain "on the wing".
If airlines do not choose to import long-range aircraft, then in the next decade it will be necessary to seriously think about creating such a machine.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the production of systems for Il-114-300 and MS-21-310 has been expanded in Nizhny Novgorod.
