History of the IL-76

The Ilyushin IL-76 was designed in 1967 to a Soviet Air Force requirement for a freighter to replace the Antonov An-12. It needed to carry a 40-ton payload for 5,000 km in under six hours, operate from short, unprepared airstrips, and in the worst Siberian/Arctic weather.

The prototype Il-76 first flew in March 1971 and entered service in 1974, powered by Soloviev D-30 turbofans, and around 860 aircraft were produced at Tashkent in Uzbekistan.

The IL-76MF (military) or IL-76TF (civil) version had a fuselage 6.6 metres longer, and PS-90A-76 engines, able to carry a payload of 60 tons (or longer range) – this first flew in 1995.

From 2004, a number of civilian IL-76TDs were converted to Il-76TD-90VD with the PS-90 engines to comply with European noise limits, and a partial ‘glass’ cockpit. A total of 960 IL-76s of all versions have been built.

History of RA-76503

RA-76503 was built at Tashkent, Uzbekistan. It made its first flight on 15 October 2011. It previously visited Perth in May 2013, July 2013 and July 2016.
