Aviation has developed rapidly, and all the new items that have been tested over a period of "Aeroflot" acted in "Vnukovo", which was based government winged cars.Not only technology, but also the best pilots were chosen here because the responsibility is great.Had a flight accident, and the whole world just talking about the technical backwardness "of Russian, which even the head of state can not properly deliver."But the reason for such gossip, fortunately, was not.PE only occurs through no fault of our technology or pilots.For example, in 1961 the aircraft with the then-Soviet Premier LeonidBrezhnev was shot by the French interceptor, and only thanks to the skill of the crew, all went well.

Dollars.
Of course, the president's plane is built in Russia - a country with a long and glorious tradition of the aviation industry.This IL-96-300 - quite worthy of wide machine with four engines, a very reliable, high-speed and comfortable.
incident that occurred in August 2005, when technical problems have led to the plane of Russian President did not raise in the air, caused a 42-day troubles, not only terrestrial services spetsaviaotryada, but many operators of the aircraft, which banned to fly toIL-96.However, it soon became clear that the problems are minor, and the flight continued.
course, the plane of President of Russia - not a single concept, there are several major cruise machines that perform this function, in particular, only Ihlow 96's, there are six.Not all of them have such a luxurious finish as the top side, but the flight conditions on them quite comfortable.Technically park squadron there are other types of aircraft - a and IL-62 and Tu-214, and other reliable aircraft, and besides them - and rotorcraft to reach even where there is no runways.
