  • picture this a massive aircraft sleek
  • and Powerful ready to challenge industry
  • giants like Boeing 777 and airbus's
  • a350 ambitious absolutely but that's
  • exactly what Russia's latest widebody
  • jet the ution IL
  • 96400 m is all about here's the twist
  • with Western sanctions in full swing
  • Russia had to get creative the result a
  • homegrown engineering Marvel powered by
  • the Rob UST ps90 engines designed for
  • performance efficiency and staying power
  • and at the center of it all Sergey
  • alexandrovski CEO of aaot keeping a
  • close eye on whether this jet could be a
  • real GameChanger so will this aircraft
  • take Russian Aviation to new heights or
  • just stay grounded in ambition let's
  • find
  • out let's rewind a bit to really
  • understand the uan IL
  • 96- 400m we need to look at where it all

  • 1:01
  • started it All Began in the 1970s with
  • the uan IL 86 Russia's first widebody
  • aircraft back then it was a big deal an
  • aircraft built for Long Haul flights
  • with some pretty unique features one
  • standout it had built-in air stairs
  • imagine that planes carrying their own
  • stairs perfect for remote airports
  • without proper Services handy right but
  • of course this meant sacrificing some
  • cargo go space fast forward to the late
  • ' 80s and early 90s and Russia needed
  • something more competitive enter the IL
  • 96- 300 this wasn't just an upgrade it
  • came equipped with the ps90 turbofan
  • engines which were a major step up from
  • older Soviet engines for the first time
  • Russian airliners had engines that could
  • compete with Western models in terms of
  • fuel efficiency and performance the IL
  • 96 300 was meant to be Russia's Flagship

  • 2:00
  • aircraft for domestic and international
  • 2:02
  • routes but here's the thing it didn't
  • 2:05
  • quite take off commercially despite the
  • 2:07
  • improvements the IL 96 300 had limited
  • 2:11
  • passenger capacity which held it back
  • 2:13
  • Airlines wanted more seats more cargo
  • 2:16
  • space and better economics this is where
  • 2:18
  • the idea for a stretch version came into
  • 2:20
  • play by the early 2000s Russia
  • 2:23
  • introduced the IL 96- 400 essentially a
  • 2:29
  • longer version of the IL 96- 300 it had
  • 2:33
  • improvements in aerodynamics avionics
  • 2:36
  • and onboard systems it could carry more
  • 2:39
  • passengers and fly longer distances
  • 2:42
  • sounds like a winner right unfortunately
  • 2:44
  • it still struggled to break into the
  • 2:46
  • international market the Western
  • 2:48
  • Aviation scene was already dominated by
  • 2:50
  • heavyweights like Boeing and Airbus plus
  • 2:54
  • most Airlines were shifting to more
  • 2:55
  • efficient twin engine aircraft the ilil
  • 2:58
  • 96- 400 with its four engines just
  • 3:02
  • didn't seem practical to many buyers but
  • 3:04
  • the story doesn't end there recently due
  • 3:07
  • to Western sanctions and increasing
  • 3:09
  • demand for Homegrown Solutions Russia
  • 3:11
  • decided to revisit the ilil 96 project
  • 3:15
  • this gave birth to the IL 96- 400m a
  • 3:20
  • modernized more efficient version
  • 3:22
  • designed to meet today's needs with
  • 3:24
  • longer range better fuel efficiency and
  • 3:27
  • upgraded systems it's Rush 's bold
  • 3:30
  • attempt to carve out space in the
  • 3:32
  • competitive widebody market and of
  • 3:35
  • course at the heart of this aircraft is
  • 3:37
  • the ps90 engine an engineering Marvel
  • 3:40
  • that's gone through its own Evolution
  • 3:42
  • from the basic ps90 a to Advanced
  • 3:45
  • versions like the ps9 A2 these engines
  • 3:48
  • have become symbols of Russian Aviation
  • 3:50
  • progress but what really makes the IL 96
  • 3:55
  • 4,000m different how have these engines
  • 3:58
  • evolved to compete with modern Western
  • 4:00
  • counterparts and can they truly deliver
  • 4:03
  • the performance needed for Long Haul
  • 4:06
  • success let's dive into the details of
  • 4:08
  • the technological advancements next
  • 4:10
  • because that's where things get really
  • 4:12
  • interesting now that we've got the
  • 4:14
  • history down let's talk about what
  • 4:16
  • really keeps the IL 96 400m in the air
  • 4:20
  • the aviad vagado ps90 engine family
  • 4:24
  • engines are like the heart of any
  • 4:25
  • aircraft without a reliable powerful
  • 4:28
  • engine you've basic basically got a
  • 4:30
  • giant metal tube going nowhere and for
  • 4:32
  • the IL 96400 M that heart is the ps90
  • 4:37
  • engine so what makes the ps90 so special
  • 4:41
  • when it first came out in the late 80s
  • 4:44
  • the ps90 a was a game changer for
  • 4:46
  • Russian Aviation it was the first
  • 4:48
  • Russian Engine That Could actually
  • 4:50
  • compete with Western engines like the
  • 4:52
  • Rolls-Royce
  • 4:53
  • rb211 or the Pratt and Whitney PW 4000
  • 4:57
  • it was quieter more fuel effici
  • 5:00
  • and met International noise and emission
  • 5:02
  • standards something earlier Soviet
  • 5:04
  • engines struggled with but here's the
  • 5:06
  • catch while the ps90 a was a big step
  • 5:09
  • forward it wasn't quite enough to put
  • 5:12
  • Russian airliners on equal footing with
  • 5:14
  • Western Jets fuel efficiency was still
  • 5:17
  • an issue and Airlines were looking for
  • 5:19
  • engines that could cut operating costs
  • 5:22
  • that's where later versions came in the
  • 5:24
  • ps9 A2 for example brought some serious
  • 5:27
  • upgrades it featured advanced materials
  • 5:30
  • better fuel consumption and lower
  • 5:32
  • maintenance costs in fact the ps90 A2
  • 5:36
  • reduced fuel burn by around 10% compared
  • 5:39
  • to the original PS 90A that might not
  • 5:42
  • sound like much but in aviation even a
  • 5:44
  • 1% fuel saving can mean huge cost
  • 5:47
  • reductions and now there's something
  • 5:49
  • even bigger in the works Russian
  • 5:51
  • Engineers are working on the pd35 a Next
  • 5:55
  • Generation engine designed to power
  • 5:57
  • future aircraft including a possible
  • 6:00
  • twin engine variant of the IL 96 with a
  • 6:03
  • whopping 76,000 lb of thrust the PD 35
  • 6:08
  • aims to compete with modern Western
  • 6:10
  • engines like the
  • 6:11
  • ge9x used on Boeing's
  • 6:14
  • 77x the goal lower fuel consumption
  • 6:18
  • fewer emissions and cheaper maintenance
  • 6:21
  • but there's a Twist Russia's ability to
  • 6:23
  • develop these engines without foreign
  • 6:25
  • Parts is being put to the test with
  • 6:28
  • Western sanctions cutting off access to
  • 6:30
  • some components it's a Race Against Time
  • 6:32
  • to develop fully domestic Solutions if
  • 6:35
  • successful Russia could have a powerful
  • 6:37
  • engine that not only Powers its own
  • 6:39
  • aircraft but could also become a serious
  • 6:42
  • export product and there's another thing
  • 6:45
  • the IL 96400 M 4 engine setup in an age
  • 6:50
  • where most widebody Jets have switched
  • 6:52
  • to more fuel efficient twin engine
  • 6:55
  • designs sticking with four engines might
  • 6:58
  • seem old-fashioned but there here's a
  • 6:59
  • reason for it four engines mean greater
  • 7:02
  • redundancy especially important for long
  • 7:05
  • hul flights over remote areas where
  • 7:07
  • emergency landing options are limited
  • 7:10
  • this could give the IL
  • 7:12
  • 96400 m a unique advantage in certain
  • 7:15
  • markets but will this be enough can the
  • 7:18
  • ps90 family and future engines like the
  • 7:22
  • pd35 really help the IL 96400 M compete
  • 7:27
  • on a global stage up next next we'll
  • 7:30
  • explore how the IL 96 400m Stacks up
  • 7:33
  • against Western giants like the Boeing
  • 7:36
  • 7779 and Airbus a350 1000 in terms of
  • 7:41
  • performance and efficiency now let's
  • 7:43
  • dive into what makes the IL 96 4000m
  • 7:46
  • more than just another widebody aircraft
  • 7:50
  • we're talking design technology and
  • 7:52
  • performance the stuff that could make
  • 7:54
  • this plane a real Contender first off
  • 7:57
  • let's talk design the IL 96 400m isn't
  • 8:01
  • just a stretched version of its
  • 8:03
  • predecessor it's nearly 10 m longer than
  • 8:05
  • the IL 96 300 that extra length means
  • 8:09
  • more room for passengers up to 436
  • 8:12
  • Travelers in a single class
  • 8:13
  • configuration imagine that more
  • 8:16
  • passengers more profit per flight for
  • 8:18
  • Airlines that's a big deal but size
  • 8:21
  • isn't everything the IL 96- 400m comes
  • 8:26
  • with a modernized wing design that
  • 8:28
  • improves aerodynamics in simple terms it
  • 8:30
  • cuts through the air more efficiently
  • 8:32
  • saving Fuel and cutting emissions plus
  • 8:36
  • the fuselage has been optimized for
  • 8:38
  • better aerodynamics too all this means
  • 8:40
  • better performance and lower operational
  • 8:43
  • costs key for any long haul aircraft now
  • 8:46
  • let's get into technology this aircraft
  • 8:49
  • boasts state-of-the-art avionics
  • 8:51
  • basically the brains of the operation
  • 8:53
  • these modern systems help Pilots operate
  • 8:56
  • the aircraft more safely and efficiently
  • 8:59
  • from Advanced flight management systems
  • 9:01
  • to improve navigation and communication
  • 9:04
  • Tech passengers won't see these systems
  • 9:07
  • but they'll definitely feel the smoother
  • 9:08
  • ride and speaking of passengers Comfort
  • 9:11
  • matters right the IL 96- 400m takes
  • 9:15
  • passenger experience seriously think
  • 9:18
  • spacious cabins larger overhead
  • 9:20
  • compartments and advanced in-flight
  • 9:22
  • Entertainment Systems there's also ample
  • 9:25
  • leg room making those long hul flights a
  • 9:28
  • lot more bearable air lines can also
  • 9:30
  • customize the cabin choosing different
  • 9:32
  • seating layouts and amenities to suit
  • 9:34
  • their needs but here's where it gets
  • 9:36
  • interesting performance the ilil
  • 9:39
  • 96400 m has an impressive range of about
  • 9:42
  • 10,000 km that means it can fly long hul
  • 9:46
  • routes without frequent refueling stops
  • 9:48
  • making it perfect for international
  • 9:50
  • flights it's designed to compete with
  • 9:52
  • big names like the Boeing
  • 9:54
  • 7779 and Airbus a
  • 9:58
  • 351000 however there's a big talking
  • 10:00
  • point the four engine configuration in a
  • 10:03
  • world where most new widebody aircraft
  • 10:06
  • use two engines for better fuel
  • 10:08
  • efficiency why does the IL
  • 10:12
  • 964m stick with 4 well there's logic to
  • 10:15
  • it four engines mean extra safety and
  • 10:17
  • redundancy especially when flying over
  • 10:20
  • remote areas or oceans where emergency
  • 10:23
  • landing options are limited this makes
  • 10:25
  • the IL
  • 10:27
  • 96400 m a solid choice for routes with
  • 10:31
  • stricter safety regulations but of
  • 10:33
  • course there's a downside higher
  • 10:35
  • maintenance costs more engines mean more
  • 10:38
  • parts to maintain and more fuel burn
  • 10:40
  • compared to twin engine Rivals Western
  • 10:43
  • manufacturers like Airbus and Boeing
  • 10:46
  • have already moved away from four engine
  • 10:48
  • designs for this very reason think of
  • 10:50
  • the decline of the Boeing 747 Airbus
  • 10:54
  • A340 and even the A380 that said there's
  • 10:58
  • a potential game coming uan is exploring
  • 11:01
  • a twin engine variant powered by the
  • 11:03
  • upcoming avad viatel pd35 engines if
  • 11:08
  • this happens it could cut down on fuel
  • 11:10
  • consumption and maintenance costs making
  • 11:12
  • the IL 96 4000m far more competitive on
  • 11:17
  • the global market but will this design
  • 11:19
  • Evolution be enough to break into
  • 11:21
  • International markets dominated by
  • 11:23
  • Western Giants or will it remain a niche
  • 11:26
  • aircraft primarily flying in Russian sky
  • 11:30
  • next up we'll take a closer look at the
  • 11:32
  • market positioning of the IL
  • 11:34
  • 9640 M and how it plans to take on the
  • 11:38
  • world's top widebody aircraft stay tuned
  • 11:42
  • now let's talk about something that
  • 11:43
  • could truly change the game for the IL
  • 11:46
  • 96- 400m the future engine development
  • 11:51
  • specifically the aviadvigatel
  • 11:54
  • pd35 this engine could be the key to
  • 11:56
  • making the IL 96-h for 400 m a real
  • 12:00
  • Contender on the global stage so why is
  • 12:03
  • this engine so important and what could
  • 12:05
  • it mean for the future of Russian
  • 12:07
  • Aviation let's break it down currently
  • 12:09
  • the IL 96- 400m uses 4 ps90 engines
  • 12:16
  • while four engines offer extra safety
  • 12:18
  • and operational flexibility they also
  • 12:21
  • come with higher fuel consumption and
  • 12:23
  • increased maintenance costs that's a
  • 12:26
  • problem in today's market where most
  • 12:28
  • modern widebody aircraft like the Boeing
  • 12:30
  • 77x and Airbus
  • 12:33
  • a350 are powered by just two
  • 12:35
  • ultraefficient engines fewer engines
  • 12:38
  • mean less fuel burn and lower operating
  • 12:41
  • costs critical factors for Airlines
  • 12:43
  • trying to stay profitable this is where
  • 12:45
  • the pd35 comes in it's being developed
  • 12:48
  • as a high thrust twin engine alternative
  • 12:51
  • that could replace the 4 engine setup on
  • 12:53
  • future ilil 96 models if successful this
  • 12:57
  • would mean lower fuel consumption
  • 13:00
  • reduced maintenance costs and better
  • 13:02
  • overall efficiency putting the IL 96
  • 13:06
  • 4,000m on a More Level Playing Field
  • 13:09
  • with Western competitors but what makes
  • 13:11
  • the pd35 so special for starters it's
  • 13:15
  • designed to deliver 340 ktons about
  • 13:19
  • 76,000 lb force of thrust that's some
  • 13:23
  • serious power enough to support a
  • 13:25
  • widebody aircraft like the IL 964
  • 13:29
  • M on Long Haul flights the pd35 will be
  • 13:33
  • based on the pd14 which currently Powers
  • 13:35
  • the urut mc21 a narrowbody aircraft the
  • 13:39
  • pd14 has already proven to be efficient
  • 13:42
  • reliable and compliant with modern
  • 13:45
  • emission standards scaling this
  • 13:47
  • technology up for the pd35 could make
  • 13:50
  • Russian engines competitive with the
  • 13:52
  • likes of G's
  • 13:54
  • ge9x or rolls-royce's Trent xw

  • 14:04
  • consumption significantly addressing one
  • 14:07
  • of the biggest drawbacks of the current
  • 14:09
  • ilil 96400 IM given how fuel costs make
  • 14:13
  • up a large chunk of an airline's
  • 14:15
  • expenses this could dramatically improve
  • 14:17
  • the aircraft's appeal plus lower fuel
  • 14:20
  • burn means reduce carbon emissions which
  • 14:23
  • is a big win in today's environmentally
  • 14:26
  • conscious world then there's the matter
  • 14:28
  • of sanctions Western sanctions have
  • 14:30
  • limited Russia's access to foreign
  • 14:32
  • aircraft and engines making Homegrown
  • 14:35
  • Solutions like the pd35 more critical

  • challenges everything from ensuring
  • 15:14
  • thermal efficiency to making sure the
  • 15:16
  • engine can handle extreme stress during

  • hurdle of getting the engine certified
  • 15:24
  • for international use a process that
  • 15:26
  • requires meeting strict safety and
  • 15:29
  • performance standards but let's say uian
  • 15:32
  • and avad vatel pull it off what then a

  • its impact far beyond passenger flights
  • 16:32
  • however challenges Remain the global

  • Airbus GE and Rolls-Royce for the IL 96-
  • 16:43
  • 400m to succeed internationally it will
  • 16:46
  • need to prove that the pd35 can match or
