They began to discuss this topic in the German media, they became interested that Russia would soon complete the assembly of an almost domestic aircraft consisting of no more than 10 percent of foreign materials intended for flights with a range of over 6 thousand kilometers.
This will be an improved version of the IL-96-300, developed back in the late 80s, the new wide-body IL-96-400M. The assembly of which started at the beginning of 2020 at the aircraft plant in Voronezh and will be completed by the end of the year, where ground tests will continue and flight will be completed by 2021.
The fuselage with the wing has already been installed, the tail part and the attachment points of aircraft engines are approaching,
of which there will be four on an aircraft engine type PS-90A1 , in the future, when Russia will be born an aircraft engine PD-35, then there will be two of them instead of four PS-90A1.
This aircraft will be 10 meters longer than its predecessor and equipped with domestic electronics. Yes, if you look realistically, it will be difficult for him to compete with Airbus and Boeing, but here for Russia this is a secondary issue.
Now it’s to find markets, and they will obviously be those countries that are on the list of American sanctions and are not able to replenish their fleet.
The airlines of Cuba and Zimbabwe have already stated that they intend to purchase this passenger aircraft, since they use aircraft of 40 years ago. North Korea and Iran joined these countries. And for Russian airlines it will also be necessary.
