IL-86 was the first wide-body aircraft produced in the USSR.His appearance was due to the objective needs of aviation.During the period of its production it was produced 106 aircraft, three of which were delivered in China.In order to IL-86 could fly around the country in the eighties was renovated many runways at major airports.The main task, which is assigned to the aircraft model, was to provide medium-haul air traffic.Phasing out of this type of aircraft began in 2001.
IL-86 - this is the most massive Soviet wide-body airliner with four engines.The beginning of the creation of it can be considered in 1967, when the Resolution of the Council of Ministers on the development of such a machine.Initially alternative IL-86 could be modernized Il-62 (lengthening the fuselage, the second deck, oval cross-section), but this scenario is not received.Development of the eighty-sixth model in the Ilyushin Design Bureau started in the 70s.For the first time the plane saw the sky 22.12.1976, and in June 1977 it showed the public at the air show in Paris.The first flight airliner made in the late 1980s.Over the entire period of operation of the aircraft set 18 world records on various parameters.In addition to production models, should be made a special board for the President and the two aircraft to command the Armed Forces.One of the modifications of the liner with an "A" became the basis for creating the next model - the Il-96.In the process of selecting a scheme of IL-86, a photo of which are presented here, it was determined nizkoplan with swept wings and four engines with moderate bypass ratio on the pylons under the wings.Selection of the aerodynamic performance of the liner is made on the basis of a complex theoretical and experimental studies, the purpose of which was to obtain the necessary regulatory handling characteristics, stability and aerodynamic qualities.
main technical characteristics of the aircraft as follows:
- seating capacity - 350 people;
- wingspan - 48 meters;
- length - 60 m;
- height - 15.8 m;
- and maximum cruising speed - 970 and 950 km / h, respectively;
- range - 4.6 thousand. Km;
- the maximum take-off weight - 215 tons (no-load aircraft weight is 117.5 tons);
- fuel consumption - 11.5 t / h.
Experts admit that IL-86 can be considered one of the safest aircraft in the world.Its high level of reliability and comfort, operational efficiency and manufacturability confirmed 130 certificates.The liner is equipped with the latest navigation and control complexes, which enables not numerous crew of three people to easily carry out regular flights at any time of day, and in different climatic conditions.In Soviet times, it was one of the most comfortable aircraft optimally planned interior space.In particular, among the basic characteristics should be noted comfortable armchairs, decorative interior decoration, successful placement pantry-kitchen complex, mobile and appropriate size of the cabin service carts.
