Why do we buy the Il 76 and not the An 124?

Although the AN124 is large, it has many restrictions on use and is also expensive.

<> "Il-76 transport aircraft.

The Il-76 transport aircraft is a large transport aircraft developed by the Ilyushin Design Bureau of the former Soviet Union. It flew in March 1971 and entered service in 1975. The Il-76 transport aircraft were also widely used in the Soviet Union, in Eastern Europe, in Asia and Africa.

Originally, it was designed as a military transport aircraft, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was also used in large numbers for civil aviation purposes, and NATO was nicknamed Candid.

By 1997, more than 950 aircraft had been produced, with an annual production capacity of nearly 50 aircraft. In addition to the hundreds of Il-76 transport aircraft used by the Russian Air Force and civil aviation, more than 100 are exported to many countries around the world, such as Algeria, Iran, the United Kingdom, Syria, India, the Czech Republic, Poland, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Cuba and China.

R&D history In 1974, the Ilyushin Design Bureau of the Soviet Union designed the Il-76 medium-range medium transport aircraft, which was codenamed "Gengzhi" by NATO. At present, the Ilyushin Design Bureau has been restructured into the Ilyushin Aviation JSC Consortium in Moscow and the Tashkent Aircraft Production Enterprise in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. At present, the Il-76 is used in the Russian army as a combat support transport aircraft, used to transport infantry and light armored units, and can take off and land at simple front-line airfields.

The IL-76 can also carry out parachute missions and can airdrop cargo or properly packaged military vehicles.

By 1997, more than 950 aircraft had been produced, with an annual production capacity of nearly 50 aircraft. In addition to the hundreds of Il-76 transport aircraft used by the Russian Air Force and civil aviation, more than 100 are exported to many countries around the world, such as Algeria, Iran, the United Kingdom, Syria, India, the Czech Republic, Poland, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Cuba and China.

The Il-76, which began to be designed at the end of the 60s of the 20th century, is a four-engine medium and long-range heavy transport aircraft developed by the Ilyushin Design Bureau of the former Soviet Union as a military transport aircraft. In order to improve its military airlift capability, the An-12 urgently needs a new type of military transport aircraft with a longer range, larger load, and faster speed, so it was decided to develop this Il-76, which is similar to the American C-141 heavy transport aircraft in shape and load capacity, so as to make up for the lack of military airlift capability and modernize the former Soviet Union.

The first prototype made its first test flight on March 25, 1971 at Moscow** Airport, and on May 27 of the same year it was publicly exhibited at the 29th Paris International Aviation Fair. In 1974, the Air Transport Command of the former Soviet Air Force conducted an acceptance appraisal of the Il-76 and found that the aircraft had good performance and met the requirements. The flight test lasted until the end of 1975, after which it was put into mass production and delivered to the air transport units of the Soviet Air Force and civil aviation.

By the beginning of 1992, a total of more than 700 aircraft were produced, with an annual output of more than 50 aircraft. In addition to more than 500 Il-76 76M 76MD aircraft used by the Russian Air Force and more than 120 aircraft used by civil aviation, it is also exported to Algeria, Iran, the United Kingdom, Syria, India, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Poland, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Cuba and China. The Il-76 has a variety of aircraft for different purposes.

Until the beginning of 1992, a total of more than 700 aircraft were produced, with an annual output of more than 50 aircraft. In addition to more than 500 aircraft used by the Russian Air Force and more than 120 aircraft used by civil aviation, a large number of aircraft are exported to Algeria, Iran, the United Kingdom, Syria, India, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Poland, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Cuba and China. * In Wenchuan** in 2008, the military aircraft dispatched by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) were the main force.

**After the incident, the PLA Air Force's Il-76 and Y-8 transport planes flew to the disaster area almost immediately loaded with various equipment and materials. However, the PLA military aircraft, which is the main force of rescue, are developed and produced by foreign countries. The Il-76, which is the main force of the Chinese Air Force's strategic transport, is the military transport aircraft with the largest load capacity and the longest range in China.

The plane that parachuted 15 airborne warriors over Wenchuan was this type of transport plane. At present, the largest domestically produced transport aircraft is the Y-8, and the maximum load capacity of the aircraft is only 20 tons, which is difficult to meet the needs of strategic airlift and heavy equipment airdrop.

Air transportation is a mode of transportation that uses aircraft or other aircraft as a carrier, also known as air transportation. Generally, it is more urgent goods, and customers will choose air transportation when road transportation cannot meet the required timeliness. Air freight has won a considerable market with its fast, safe and punctual ultra-high efficiency, greatly shortened the delivery time, and played a great role in promoting the improvement of the logistics chain and accelerating the capital turnover and circulation.

Major airlines have invested a large number of flights to share the cake of cargo. However, air freight is more expensive than sea freight.

In 1974, the Ilyushin Design Bureau of the Soviet Union designed the Il-76 medium-range medium-range transport aircraft, which was codenamed "Gengzhi" by NATO.

The Il-76 belongs to the strategic transport aircraft with a carrying capacity of 40,000 kg or 150 soldiers.

The Y-8 is a tactical transport aircraft, which can carry 2 trucks or 20 tons of bulk cargo at a time when transporting cargo, and can carry 96 fully armed soldiers and 82 paratroopers at a time when transporting personnel. 60 stretcher beds can be installed in the cargo hold, which can transport 60 seriously injured and 23 lightly injured at a time, and can also carry 3 medical personnel.

The C-130J belongs to the tactical transport aircraft 56,337 kg with a payload of 15,876 kg.

The Y-8 and C-130J are both propeller aircraft that use propeller engines, but propeller engines are not as efficient as turbofan jet engines. Filial piety before.
