The IL-76MD military transport aircraft was developed based on a mass manufactured IL-76M military transport
aircraft. By virtue of strengthening the airplane main structural elements (e.g. frame, landing gear) the
maximum take-off weight and commercial payload were increased.
The aircraft is designed for the following tasks:
- air-mission landing (transportation) of personnel, weapons and military equipment, cargo, fuel and containers;
- air drop of personnel, weapons and military equipment and cargo.
In order to provide for the INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGANIZATION newly issued requirements for the noise
and harmful substances emission levels the D 30KP engines are now being replaced with the more powerful and
fuel-efficient PS-90A-76 engines. All these measures will increase the airplane economical efficiency.
