A prototype flight took place in 1974, and the machine entered production in 1974. The drive - in the basic version - is provided by four motors Sołowiew D-30KP turbojets with a thrust of 117.7 kN each. The plane is 46.59 meters long with a wingspan of 50.5 meters. The single 23mm GSz-23 cannon was rarely used as a deck armament.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Il-76 model was developed at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s as a new, basic Soviet aviation transport aircraft capable of transporting cargo weighing up to 40 tons over a distance of approximately 5,000 kilometers in less than 6 hours. It was also assumed that the new machine would replace the Antonov An-12 aircraft in service. Work on the new machine proceeded relatively quickly and in 1971 a prototype test took place. Ultimately, the serial versions of the Il-76 met the requirements set for them. Moreover, the Il-76 has a very solid construction, resistant to small caliber fire from the ground, which was clearly demonstrated by the war in Afghanistan (1979-1989). The machine - from 1976 - entered the Aeroflot airline as a transport plane, and later also to other civil operators. In the course of the process, many variants were created - both military and civilian. These include, for example: Il-76D (version intended for the transport of paratroopers), Il-76MD (military version with extended flight range) or Il-76T (civilian transport version). The Il-76 aircraft has also been operated by many foreign operators, including the PRC, India, Iraq and Hungary.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B\u0026B Importers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49541182783703,"sku":"TRU03902","price":853.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/6168\/5463\/files\/2779_0-auto_downl_82ff7f40-9ab7-4a22-a737-38a7f060f9fc.jpg?v=1785915416","url":"https:\/\/aviationshop.co.za\/products\/ilyushin-il-78-midas-1-144-scale-trumpeter-tru03902","provider":"The Aviation Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
