Promising aviation complex transport aviation(PAK TA) will be named Il-106. Nikolai Talikov, general designer of the Ilyushin Aviation Complex, told TASS about this.

“We have made a technical project, now we are offering it to the customer - the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The customer gave his vision of this aircraft and its characteristics, we see that they coincide with our proposal. While negotiations are underway, and when they are over, we will be able to say something about the timing, ”added the general designer of Ilyushin.

The carrying capacity of the machine will be 80-100 tons. N. Talikov noted that the aircraft will be built according to the traditional scheme, and not according to the scheme of the carrier fuselage. The possibility of using the carrier fuselage on August 14, 2015 was reported by the head of Ilyushin, Yuri Yudin, but noted that this was only one of the options under consideration, reports Lenta.ru.

Technical reference

In the mid-80s, a competition was announced for transport aircraft projects to replace the Il-76 and An-22. The competition was attended by OKB im. O.K.Antonova, OKB im. S.V. Ilyushin and OKB im. A.N. Tupolev. The winner was the project OKB them. Ilyushin.

Working design of the aircraft, which received the designation IL-106 started in December 1987. The design feature was to be the presence of two cargo hatches, front and rear, which should significantly speed up the loading and unloading operations. On the plane, it was decided to use the new high-bypass turbofan engines NK-92, developed in the Design Bureau of N.D. Kuznetsov.

It was supposed to start manufacturing the first prototype in 1995, and flight tests - in 1997, but due to the protracted economic crisis in the country, these plans have not yet been implemented. The allocated funds are only enough to make changes to the project due to changes in aviation fashion and the emergence of more advanced systems.

IL-106 is a cantilever all-metal high-wing aircraft. Semi-monocoque fuselage. A moderately swept wing with vertical airfoils at the tips. The landing gear is retractable, multi-support, provides the possibility of operation from unpaved airfields.

Power point consists of 4 NK-92 turbojet engines placed on pylons under the wing. For loading and unloading cargo and self-propelled equipment, the aircraft is equipped with two cargo hatches, front and rear. The aircraft is equipped with a digital EDSU. The information field of the cockpit is made using multifunctional LCD indicators.

The Il-106 aircraft is a project of a heavy military transport aircraft, created in the Ilyushin Design Bureau. It was designed during the 80s to 90s of the last century on a competitive national basis (USSR) between the country's advanced design bureaus (Antonov Design Bureau, Ilyushin Design Bureau and Tupolev Design Bureau). In the plans of the Ministry of Defense there was a hope for the creation of a new army transport aircraft, which would replace the obsolete Il-76 and An-22.

Specifically, the IL-106 as the first prototype was going to be released in 1995, and flight testing would begin two years later. But due to the events that began during the collapse of the USSR in the 90s, there was neither financial opportunity nor the interest of the Air Force in the country.

The aircraft was designed to transport cargo weighing 80 tons with a dead weight of 135 tons. According to the project, the device should be able to fly a distance of 5000 km with the ability to switch to a cruising speed of 850 km / h. The practical ceiling for the transporter was to be 12,000 m.

The fuselage is an all-metal monoplane with the usual overall length and aerodynamic design of more than 57 meters. The wing is moderately swept with end vertical surfaces. In order for a very heavily loaded aircraft to be able to carry out transportation, during the design the wingspan was increased to 58.5 m. The cargo cabin is sealed, the length is 34 m. The cabin is divided into front and rear cargo ramps, which in turn greatly activates the unloading and loading process.

To ensure the operation of an air vehicle at unpaved airports, a retractable multi-support landing gear was installed.

The power plant is represented by four NK-92 turbojet engines. For this military transporter, they were created in Samara at the Kuznetsov Design Bureau in special order. Initially, they were going to install a more advanced and wonderful model NK-93, but at the time of designing the aircraft, it was still only conceived (it was shown in 2007 at the MAKS air show).

Of the equipment, the equipment of its digital EDSU was considered a novelty for a never-built aircraft. In the cockpit, designed for two people, the information field was going to be made of multifunctional LCD indicators. The aircraft was made in a draft version.

Quite relatively recently, information was received that the never-built IL-106 would become the basis for the development of future Ermak PTS. The Ilyushin Design Bureau is going to start developing a new family of promising superheavy transport aircraft in 2016.

Similar variants of a similar aircraft: An-22, Boeing C-17 Globemaster III, An-124, Xian Y-20.

The Il-106 aircraft is a project of a heavy military transport aircraft created at the Ilyushin Design Bureau. It was designed in the period from the 80s to the 90s of the last century on a competitive state basis (USSR) between the leading design bureaus of the country (Antonov Design Bureau, Tupolev Design Bureau and Ilyushin Design Bureau). The plans of the Ministry of Defense included the hope of creating a new military transport aircraft that would replace the obsolete Il-76 and An-22. The Il-106 itself, as the first prototype, was planned to be released in 1995, and flight tests would begin two years later. But due to the events that began during the collapse of the USSR in the 90s, there was neither financial opportunity nor the interest of the Air Force in the country.

The aircraft was designed to transport cargo weighing 80 tons with a dead weight of 135 tons. According to the project, the device should be able to fly a distance of 5000 km with the ability to switch to a cruising speed of 850 km / h. The practical ceiling for the transporter was to be 12,000 m.

The fuselage is an all-metal monoplane with a normal aerodynamic configuration and a total length of more than 57 meters. The wing is moderately swept with end vertical surfaces. In order for a heavily loaded aircraft to be able to carry out transportation, the design increased the wingspan to 58.5 m. The cargo cabin is sealed, the length is 34 m. The cabin is divided into front and rear cargo ramps, which in turn greatly speeds up the process of loading and unloading. To ensure the operation of the aircraft on unpaved airfields, a retractable multi-support landing gear was installed.

The power plant is represented by four NK-92 turbojet engines. For this military transporter, they were developed in Samara at the Kuznetsov Design Bureau in a special order. Initially, they planned to install a more advanced and powerful NK-93 model, but at the time of designing the aircraft, it was still only being conceived (it was demonstrated in 2007 at the MAKS air show).

At the end of December 2018, it became known that PJSC Il resumed work on the creation of a new military transport aircraft to replace the An-124 Ruslan. This was stated by the chief designer Nikolai Talikov.

Step of the "Elephant"

The An-124 remains the most load-bearing serial truck in the world, which more than once rescued and rescued from difficult situations. It was developed by OKB im. O. K. Antonov, and its modification An-124-100, which received an international airworthiness certificate, is legally a Ukrainian aircraft, although it would be more correct to call it “Soviet”. Still, it was developed and built by the whole country.

But the heavenly giant began to become obsolete morally and physically, and the question arose of replacing Ruslan. Russian designers have made no less contribution to the development of the aircraft than the Ukrainian ones, and the concept of the future sky truck was first shown at MAKS-2017, where it was represented by Russia's Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute. NOT. Zhukovsky. The specialists of the institute then had just begun to develop a possible appearance of the future superheavy transporter and called it the "Elephant".

The world's largest transport aircraft An-124 "Ruslan" is capable of transporting super-heavy and bulky cargo over extremely long distances

TsAGI developed an aerodynamic model of an air giant - it differs from the aircraft itself not only in size and design, but also in the presence of an integrated surface pressure measurement system, which is necessary to create a complete picture of the flow around the aircraft in all flight modes.

The model is universal and during its testing in subsonic and transonic wind tunnels, its shape easily changed in length, fuselage diameter, and wing sweep.

This made it possible to blow through the model in the civilian version for the Volga-Dnepr airline with a fuselage width of 5.3 m and a height of 5.2 m, and for the military department with a hull floor width of 6.4 m for placement in two rows of equipment.

TsAGI developed an aerodynamic model of the Elephant superheavy transporter for the Volga-Dnepr airline. The cruising speed of a promising heavy transport aircraft was planned to be 850 km / h with a maximum load of 180 tons and a flight range of 4900 km.

The cruising speed of a promising heavy transport aircraft should be 850 km / h with a maximum load of 180 tons and a flight range of 4900 km. It was planned to equip the giant truck with promising Russian PD-35 engines, instead of the Ukrainian D-18T, which do not have sufficient reliability, and their modernization in order to improve this key indicator turned out to be too expensive.

Also in Soviet time a program was launched to create the Il-106 aircraft with such data, but after 1992 it was terminated due to lack of funds. Indeed, at that time, the existing An-124 aircraft was enough, especially since Antonov ASTC carried out a very laborious, costly and dramatic (in its course one An-124 crashed) work on certification of the civil version of the An-124-100, which opened his way to the global air transportation market.

PJSC "Il" resumed work on the creation of a new military transport aircraft to replace the An-124 "Ruslan"

But 20 years have passed, and today, of course, the question of improving Ruslan is ripe. There is no alternative to this - except for a replacement with a fundamentally new aircraft.

In June 2018, Antonov officially announced that it was impossible to modernize the An-124 without the participation of the Ukrainian side, because only they "possess all the technical knowledge and necessary information about the design." Most likely, this is indeed true.

The discussions are over

So, at the end of December 2018, it became known that the Ilyushin aviation complex resumed work on creating a replacement for Ruslan, thereby removing the question of the need to resume mass production of the An-124 at the Aviastar aircraft plant in Ulyanovsk, loaded to the limit with the production of modernized Il- 76 and IL-78 tankers.

It is planned that during normal operation the aircraft will carry 80 tons of cargo, and under special operating conditions it will be able to "lift" 110-120 tons. The cargo cabin of the Il-106 will be the same size as that of the An-124 Ruslan. In addition to new avionics, the aircraft will receive new engines with a thrust of 24-26 tons, which are being developed by the United Engine Corporation. They want to make a transporter according to a normal aerodynamic configuration with a moderately swept wing with vertical end surfaces.

The aircraft will receive front and rear cargo ramps, which will significantly speed up loading / unloading.

The cargo cabin of the Il-106 will be the same size as on the An-124 Ruslan. It is planned that during normal operation the aircraft will carry 80 tons of cargo, and under special operating conditions it will be able to "lift" 110-120 tons

The new aircraft will be created in 2025-2026. Earlier, the Ministry of Defense stated that the state armaments program, calculated until 2027, included a project to create a super-heavy aircraft to replace the An-124 Ruslan.

An-124 Ruslan will run out of service in the foreseeable future, therefore, most likely the final decision is still up to PJSC "Il". Or not?

Back in the USSR, a program was launched to create the Il-106 aircraft - a heavy military transport aircraft.

Estimated characteristics of IL-106:

wingspan - 58.5 m

aircraft length - 57.6 m

height - 19.9 m

cargo compartment- 4 * 18000 kgf (4 * 176.52 kN), NK - 92.

maximum takeoff weight- 258000 kg

cruising speed - 820-850 km/h

flight range with ANZ - 5000 km

operational ceiling - 12100 m

The promising aviation complex of transport aviation (PAK TA), developed by Ilyushin Design Bureau, known under the code "Ermak", will be called Il-106. This was announced by the general designer of the Ilyushin Aviation Complex Nikolai Talikov. Serial production of the aircraft is scheduled to begin in 2024.

“We have made a technical project, now we are offering it to the customer - the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The customer gave his vision of this aircraft and its characteristics, we see that they coincide with our proposal. While negotiations are underway, and when they are over, we will be able to say something about the timing, ”said the general designer of Ilyushin.

The carrying capacity of the machine will be 80-100 tons. The aircraft will be built according to the traditional scheme, and not according to the scheme of the carrier fuselage.

The name Il-106 was previously borne by an unrealized project of a new heavy transport aircraft. In 1987, the preliminary design of this machine won the competition of the USSR Air Force for a promising operational-strategic military transport aircraft with a carrying capacity of 80 tons. However, the creation of the machine has not yet begun.

Earlier it was reported that the PAK TA project (also known under the code "Ermak") will create a family of super-heavy wide-body aircraft with a payload of 80 tons or more. Serial production of the aircraft is scheduled to begin in 2024.

As part of the Air Force, new aircraft in the 2020-30s should replace the remaining An-124 Ruslan and the older An-22 Antey. In addition, in the future, aircraft of the 80-ton payload class can replace heavy Il-76 transport aircraft with a payload capacity of 50-60 tons in the ranks.

IL-106 PAK TA (the concept of the Russian transport aircraft of the future)

IL-106- a project of a heavy military transport aircraft of the Ilyushin Design Bureau of the late 80s / early 90s of the 20th century, which won the state (CCCP) competition between the Ilyushin Design Bureau, the Antonov Design Bureau and the Tupolev Design Bureau for the development of a fundamentally new operational-strategic aircraft, which would have replaced the An-22 and Il-76. It was planned to produce the first prototype in 1995 and start flight tests in 1997, but due to the long economic crisis in the country, these plans were not implemented.

The IL-106 was designed to transport cargo up to 80 tons over distances up to 5000 km. The fuselage is an all-metal monoplane in a normal aerodynamic configuration with a moderately swept wing with vertical end surfaces. Pressurized cargo cabin 34 m long. Front and rear cargo ramps (which greatly speeds up loading / unloading). Multi-support retractable landing gear (which makes it possible to operate on unpaved airfields).

The power plant is four NK-92 turbojet engines specially designed for this project at the Kuznetsov Design Bureau (Kuibyshev, now Samara). The NK-93 engine, which is a development of the NK-92, was demonstrated, in particular, at the MAKS 2007 Airshow, where it was recognized as the most powerful civil Russian aircraft engine.

The aircraft was supposed to be equipped with a digital EDSU, and the cockpit information field was to be performed on the basis of multifunctional LCD indicators.

It is assumed that the Il-106 will become the basis for the development at the Ilyushin Design Bureau starting from 2016 of the Ermak family of super-heavy promising transport aircraft (PTS).
