Prefabricated model IL 86. Cost of different models

IL-86 is the first wide-body passenger aircraft of the Camber classification. It was designed at the Ilyushin Design Bureau in the 70s. Over the entire period, 106 airliners were produced. The first flight on this ship was made in December 1980.

History of creation

The 1960s saw an increase in air travel. American scientists were the first to notice this. They designed the Boeing 747. It was able to provide sufficient air travel at maximum capacity.

The boom in air travel has not bypassed Soviet Union. Domestic designers are thinking about creating an aircraft that would be superior in technical parameters to its American counterpart.

Interesting fact! In 1967, Aeroflot presented materials that outlined the company's needs for an aircraft with optimal flight characteristics.

At that time, the Design Bureau named after. Ilyushin designed the flagship IL-62. They tried to modernize this model. Due to the increase in the fuselage by 6.8 m, the characteristics of the vessel deteriorated. Interior comfort also decreased.

The designers decided to assemble the IL-86 based on it. Despite numerous difficulties in their work, they succeeded. The first passenger aircraft named after. Ilyushin was presented at the Le Bourget air show in 1977. He received his flying certificate in 1980. The plane made its first flight Moscow-Tashkent.

Features of the Il-86 aircraft

Certain requirements were put forward for the design of the aircraft: transportation of baggage and hand luggage"with me". In view of this, the size of the fuselage made it possible to place in the cabin not only space for personal belongings of passengers, but also rows with 9 seats and 2 aisles.

The aircraft was equipped with four NK-86 engines. They are assembled on the basis of NK-8 engines.

Note. Subsequentlyairplane IL-86was discontinued due to strong engine noise during operation, as well as uneconomical fuel consumption.

Aircraft development criteria:

optimal capacity;
aerodynamic characteristics;
ship safety;
the ability to evacuate passengers at a specified time;
comfort;
conditions for loading and unloading baggage.

The designers managed to create an airliner that met the required parameters. According to modern experts, the IL-86 was and remains the most convenient and safe aircraft.

Aircraft equipment

The salon was enlarged by moving the kitchen equipment to the lower deck. The plane was equipped with three retractable ladders. Boarding and disembarking could be carried out without the use of special airport personnel and structures. In this case, passengers first went to the lower deck and left their luggage. After that, they went directly into the cabin of the Airbus.

Note. Thanks to this, servicing the IL-86 has become simpler and more convenient. There was no need to retrofit airports.

To reduce the load on the side structure during takeoff and landing, three-post landing gear was installed. Four NK-8 engines provided optimal speed on the runway. They were also used to equip the IL-62 and TU-154.

The aircraft is equipped with 4 hydraulic booster systems. They are responsible for duplicating the operation of the main on-board devices. Thanks to this, the safety indicator of the aircraft has increased.

Il-86 passenger cabin diagram

There are three configuration options for this Airbus:

one-class;
two-class;
three-class layout.

The first model has 350 seats in the cabin. In the second - 234, and in the third - 214 passenger seats. Division by classes: “business” and “economy”.

According to the aircraft design in print increased comfort there can be 10 or 50 passenger seats. Arrangement: 2+2+2 with two passes between them. All other seats are in economy class. The seats are arranged 3+3+3 with two aisles.

The best seats are in business class. The distance between the chairs allows you to unfold the backrests and stretch your legs. There is an opportunity to relax during the flight and enjoy the view from the observation window.

Business class of the Il-86 aircraft

In economy class, the distance between the rows of passenger seats is small. It decreases closer to the tail. It's uncomfortable to sit there, since the seat back is practically impossible to adjust. The best places The seats in the 15th and 33rd rows in the center of the cabin are considered. The backs of the seats recline completely. Nothing prevents you from stretching your legs.

Advice. When choosing a ticket for a flight, it is better to preview the layout of the Airbus cabin on the official website of the carrier company.

Versions of Il-86

The IL-86 aircraft is the basic version. Based on it, two more aircraft models IL-86V and IL-86D were developed and constructed. According to the project, the first liner is designed to transport 450 passengers over a distance of about 4,000 km, the second - 330 people over a distance of about 9,000 km.

Good to know! Based on the IL-86D model, the IL-96 airbus was designed.

It retains the characteristics of the previous version. The changes affected the comfort of the cabin.

Modern modifications of the aircraft: IL-80 and IL-87. They have been completely modernized. They improved the shortcomings of the previous version.

Aircraft safety

Before the aircraft made its first flight with passengers, it underwent numerous tests over the course of 1 year. According to statistics, IL-86 is considered the safest. It has an upgraded control and satellite communication system, and new autopilot control devices have been installed.

Important! In the 90s, airliner safety indicators reached 95-100%.

Four emergencies occurred:

1994 - an Airbus caught fire. He was caught by a falling B-737. Members of the maintenance staff were killed.
1998 - the airliner made a rough landing. After that it was written off.
2001 - shipwreck due to personnel error. The landing gear was not extended during landing.
2008 - accident due to the fault of maintenance personnel. The stabilizer has failed.

Problems with the operation of engines and support systems began in 2002. During its entire operation, the ship carried more than 3 million passengers.

Where was the plane made?

The Airbus has become an analogue of the American Boeing. Its production began in the 70s in the USSR in Voronezh. At that time, domestic Aeroflot needed passenger liners With big amount seats.

The ship was equipped with domestic engines. In the mid-90s, it became possible to install foreign-made motors. Because they have higher specifications. The designers thought about modernizing the aircraft. After this, new IL models appeared.

Helpful information! Production of aircraft of the IL-86 modification ceased in 1993.

Cost of different models

The current price for various modifications of IL is based on various facts. Firstly, foreign navigation systems and other equipment are used in the production of airbuses. Secondly, according to international standards, the quality and technical characteristics of the vessel were improved. We had to involve foreign designers in the work. The cost of aircraft has increased significantly. It varies between 4-5 million dollars.

Design characteristics

The length of the aircraft is 59.40 m, height - 15.8 m. Wing span - 48 m. Wing area - 320 sq.m. Such design features allowed to increase the speed of the airliner. It reaches 950 km/h. Cruising speed - 900 km/h.

How much does the aircraft weigh? Its mass is 117,500 kg. At maximum load it can fly a distance of 3800 km.

Interesting! The aircraft flies at altitudes of up to 12,000 m.

The cockpit accommodates 3-5 service personnel. There are 240-350 passenger seats in the cabin. They are divided by class.

News

IL-86 airliners were in service with domestic airlines until 2011. In 2012, 67 models were scrapped. 33 aircraft are in storage, 2 are in museums. IL-86 is no longer produced. They were replaced by new modifications of aircraft. They meet modern safety requirements.

Il-86 (Zvezda, cat. No. 7001)

Manufacturer – “Zvezda” (Russia, Moscow)
Name - "IL-86"
Scale – 1:144
Catalog number - No. 7001
Number of parts – 76
Price (Moscow) – 290 rubles.

Somehow it happened historically that fans civil aviation They don’t really indulge in models of Soviet and Russian airliners in classic scales - 72nd and 144th. Now the situation has begun to gradually improve - not so long ago the IL-18 from AModel was released, and Zvezda released the long-awaited IL-86.

The first impression is very favorable - the box is designed in the Italeri tradition - a colorful picture from A. Zhirnov, high-quality outer packaging. However, this box appears to be a little tight - the wingtips were slightly bent, and the tail fairing on one of the fuselage halves was broken off. However, perhaps this is not a packaging error, but an incorrect design of the injection molding frames, which, in addition to the direct role of the sprues, also perform some protective functions in relation to the parts.

The contents of the box include five gray plastic sprues (of which two are fuselage halves), one sprue with clear parts (cockpit and eight strips of passenger windows), a flight stand, decals and instructions.

The castings are of high quality, without sink marks or traces of pushers, and with the slightest flash. The internal jointing is thin, although for the 144th scale it is probably still a bit large; quite detailed, almost all the necessary jointing lines, doors, hatches and hatches are displayed. The grilles on the engines are completely replica. The fit is excellent - it is clear that the model was made using 3D designs. All windows fit into place without problems and without gaps. The fuselage leash is not observed, the only small drawback is that the diameters of the halves turned out to be slightly different, probably due to temperature influences. The windows are of good transparency, without defects. The instructions are quite understandable even for beginners; all stages of assembly are displayed with markings for coloring the parts. The decal is an undoubted minus that spoils the whole impression. Not only does it not coincide with the version on the box (86112), it is made on a small-format piece of paper, which does not contain not only technical information, but even the standard Russian tricolor. The coloring option was chosen poorly - experimental Aeroflot livery. No other options are offered. Portholes on the doors were ignored, as were exit handles, signs and inscriptions. However, this did not stop Zvezda from declaring on its website that “the set includes a set of high-quality Aeroflot decals.”

Assembly in general is not difficult, the plastic is perfectly processed and glued. The glue used was polystyrene from UHU. The manufacturer recommends placing the weight in the bow, and not without reason - the model has a tendency to tip over onto the tail. After placing the cargo and gluing in the windows, an additional partition was inserted into the cockpit, which adds to the replica appearance of the model, preventing the passenger cabin windows from “glowing” through the cockpit. The partition and walls of the cabin were then painted light gray, the front of the cabin was painted emerald. The model was painted with AKAN enamels. The engines are finished inside with Model Master burnt metal colors before assembly, with aluminum paint highlighting the parts. The tip of the wing, stabilizer and fin are also painted with aluminum and steel paint from Model Master.

I decided to remake the decal using a scan of the Zvezda decal. The decal was re-drawn in Korel - the portholes are made slightly oval rather than rectangular, and are located not at the bottom of the wide strip, but in the middle. The narrow stripe is given too narrowly; after comparison with photographs, its width and location in relation to the wide stripe were changed. I chose the standard Aeroflot coloring option, aircraft 86110 was taken as a prototype.

Well, let's sum it up. Finally, our good old “eggplant” has found its embodiment in a worthy model! I was very pleased with the workmanship and detailing - everything, including the chassis, was made as a copy. The pneumatics are slightly rounded in relation to the real sample, but this does not spoil the appearance. Overall, when compared to photographs, the model is very similar to the prototype, and is better made than the existing 144 scale drawings. The issue with the decals will most likely be resolved by using the “aftermarket”, although it would be possible to provide a couple of coloring options in normal quality and with technical inscriptions - this would be a huge plus for the model. The lack of antennas and other little things has never been a problem for experienced modelers - you can always finish them yourself. I would very much like Zvezda to continue the line of airliners by producing Il-62, Tu-154, Tu-134, Yak-40 of the same quality - machines that are undeservedly forgotten by manufacturers. Timid attempts to produce them using LND technology do not fill this gap; it is easier to make a model “from scratch” than to polish these blanks, otherwise they cannot be called.
In general, “Star”, keep it up!

Soviet passenger wide-body aircraft Il-86

IL-86- a four-engine wide-body passenger aircraft for medium-haul airlines, designed at the Ilyushin design bureau. The first and most popular Soviet wide-body aircraft. It was mass-produced in 1980-1993 at the VASO aircraft plant in Voronezh. A total of 106 aircraft were produced.
When developing the project, several layout options were considered: with a fuselage of round (different diameters) and oval cross-section, with accommodation for passengers on one or two decks. Various luggage placement schemes were considered. It was assumed that in order to simplify ground service for passengers, transportation of luggage and cargo would be carried out according to the “carrying luggage + containers” scheme. As a result, a fuselage option with a diameter of 6 m was chosen with accommodation for passengers on the upper deck (9 seats in a row with two aisles) and luggage on the lower deck. To make it possible to service the aircraft at poorly equipped airports, built-in stairways are used. Various engine placement options were explored. It was decided to abandon the placement of the power plant in the tail in favor of placing the engines under the wing, which provided a wide range of operational alignments and made it possible to reduce the turning radius on the ground. A lot of design and experimental work was carried out to select the type of takeoff and landing mechanization of the wing, which made it possible to meet stringent requirements for ensuring operation from relatively short runways (up to 2600 m). To reduce the specific load on the ground, a fourth landing gear support was installed (under the fuselage). During the design, much attention was paid to increasing the level of passenger comfort (the cabin was even equipped with a video system with a tape recorder "Electronics VM-12").
The first flight of the prototype Il-86 aircraft was performed on December 22, 1976 by the crew of E. I. Kuznetsov. In June 1977, the airliner was shown at the Paris International Aviation and Space Show. At the end of September 1978, factory tests were completed, after which certification tests began. These tests were completed in 1980, and at the end of the same year, the Il-86 performed its first regular flight on the Moscow-Tashkent route. In 1981, the Il-86 set 18 world speed records in flight along a closed route with a load of 35 to 80 tons.
The IL-86 is built according to the aerodynamic design of a low-wing aircraft. The fuselage is a semi-monocoque round section with a diameter of 6.08 m, and has two decks: an upper passenger deck and a lower cargo deck. On the upper deck there is a crew cabin and 3 passenger salons with 110, 141 and 99 seats, 2 buffets, 2 wardrobes and 8 toilets. On the lower deck there are two luggage compartments, a kitchen (food rises to the top using an elevator), an electrical compartment, and 2 technical compartments. There are 3 built-in ramps for boarding passengers. To service the aircraft at airports equipped with accordion galleries, there are doors on the upper deck (4 on each side, which simultaneously serve emergency exits). The wing is caisson, three-spar, swept (35° along the quarter chord line), has an aerodynamic and geometric twist. The wing mechanization consists of slats, double-slot retractable flaps with a fixed deflector, brake flaps and spoilers. Retractable four-wheel landing gear. The tail is swept-back with an adjustable stabilizer. The power plant consists of 4 NK-86 turbofan engines (on the D-30KP-1 prototype). The engines, located under the wing on pylons, simultaneously serve as anti-flutter balancers. To protect engines from foreign objects entering them during taxiing, the air supply from the engine compressor is turned on, blowing away dust and debris in front of the air intake. The control system is hydraulic, booster, from 4 independent hydraulic systems. The aircraft's flight and navigation equipment allows the crew of two pilots and a flight engineer to fly in any weather conditions.
For its time, the IL-86 was the latest word in Russian science and technology. During the organization of production, more than 50 new technologies were mastered. The novelty of design solutions used on the Il-86 is confirmed by 130 copyright certificates. To master it, Aeroflot formed flight and ground crews from the most experienced specialists. The pilots of the Vnukovo Aviation Enterprise were the first to master the aircraft. Following them were the pilots of the Central Aviation Administration, Leningrad, West Siberian, Ural, Uzbek and Kazakh departments of the USSR Ministry of Civil Aviation. The appearance of the Il-86 made it possible to solve the problem of congestion on passenger lines (in the late 80s, it carried up to 25% of passenger traffic on domestic and international lines). The IL-86 has established itself as one of the most reliable aircraft in the world (during its entire operation there was only one accident, and that without passengers on board).

Hi all. I have long wanted to make an IL-86. So seasoned, vigorous, with 4 64mm impellers...

But... It is not yet destined to make it flyable, despite the fact that the IL-86/96 theme has long been asked to be implemented. To begin with, I decided to make a bench model to understand what we were dealing with, what was wrong with the geometry, and whether I would like such an airplane at all.

By chance, I came across a kit for building a bench model of the Il-86.

On this moment The task is to carefully assemble and, if possible, paint. No, don’t bother doing small details. Now I can't do this anymore. The hands are no longer the same and the eyes can’t see anything, and here the scale is called shoot yourself with a nanopistol. The most that can be done is to try to make a color similar to the real thing. I won’t age it because the plane is new and has never been flown. He himself will age well when he stands in 1st place for a year. And I love new planes, as if they came straight from the factory.

Initially, the idea was to assemble and paint it completely. Then I thought about it and decided that I would paint only the top of the fuselage white, as well as various little things in the corresponding colors. The color of the plastic in the set is relatively similar to what is needed, so I won’t touch it. The fuselage got dull even before the halves were glued together. In theory, it should be painted first, then the windows and cockpit glass should be glued in place, so as not to spoil these parts, and then the halves should be glued together.

Based on this, I have assembled the wing and stabilizer. I scraped all the steps. I did not use sandpaper, because the goal was to preserve the surface texture.

The fuselage was painted before gluing.

We tear off the tape and try on the decals

From the looks of it, there are no signs of problems...

In fact, when gluing the portholes, the paint was dissolved in some places by the glue and flowed onto the portholes, damaging them appearance. During the gluing process, the window glass began to protrude beyond the fuselage and for more or less high-quality application of decals, they will need to be adjusted flush to the surface of the fuselage. Actually, I couldn’t think of anything better than cutting off the protruding parts with a stationery knife.

Fitting the cockpit glass took about an hour. I would never have thought that some small piece of glass would blow out my brain like that. But nothing, she was successfully defeated and glued into place. It didn't even get stained with glue.

Glue 1 side first

To somehow improve the look of just the model out of the box, I decided to give the slats and air intake rings a metallic color. To do this, strips of metallized tape were glued to the slats. Excess tape is cut off with a craft knife according to the markings on the model. The view has improved somewhat.

Now you can take on the other side. Of course, you can paste everything at once, but considering that holding the plane in your hands and gluing it at the same time is not an easy task, it is better to do it in stages. At least there will be a guaranteed result. Especially considering the fragility of the decals that come in the box.

Engine air intakes are treated with metallized tape

The only thing that sucks about this is that this tape cannot be heated with a hairdryer, otherwise it turns dull white. Therefore, you will have to put up with the slightly sloppy appearance of the intakes on the inside. And outwardly it’s really nothing

Finally, the finishing touches. Using touch-up paint on body scratches, the tires were smeared black, the reverse grilles and the interior of the engines were painted.

The final anti-glare type decal has been applied to the front of the cockpit and the canopy struts have been painted white using a white marker.

Well, this is what the plane looks like as a whole against the backdrop of my work chaos

I definitely like it this way.

There is one remark to the manufacturer: the livery of the old Aeroflot somehow does not fit with the Russian registration and the Russian tricolor. I didn’t really want to redo it, so I left it as is. In principle, this can be eliminated, but not now.
