Civil aircraft

The IL-76MD-90A airplane has been derived from the design of the production IL-76MD to further improve airplanes of this type and broaden their transportation capabilities through the modernization of their wings and installation of more powerful, efficient, and quiet PS-90A-76 engines instead of D-30KP-2 engines. The IL-76MD-90A is intended for paradropping and the delivery of military personnel, military equipment, goods, fuel, and containers.
Prior versions of heavy military transport aircraft in the IL-76 family were produced at Tashkent Aircraft Plant. The IL company designed an upgraded version of the IL-76MD-90A with more powerful and efficient engines, new wings, reinforced landing gear, renovated avionics, and flight decks.
Pursuant to a Resolution by the Russian Government, production of the new version was assigned to Aviastar-SP aircraft company, which started preparations for their production capacity in 2009.
The roll-out of the first airplane took place in December 2011, and the first flight of IL-76MD-90A was completed on September 22, 2012. The airplane was piloted by a crew captained by Honored Test Pilot of the Russian Federation, Hero of Russia Nikolay Kuimov.
A tanker aircraft and an aircraft with a long-range radar detection and control system were also developed based on the new IL-76 version.
