@edgarasc1 Because the engines are kind of crappy. They tried to adapt the plane with european avionic and new engines but this joint venture failed. And this plane has the same problem as the A340: Four engines are not the standard any more.
@fire112germany The Il-96 havent been tried out with European Avionics... it wouldnt be a problem to "make" the cockpit english if they got orders from western airlines.. and the Aviadvigatel PS90A1 is NOT crappy engines.. those engines are reliable,robust and are more fuel efficient than the A340-300's engines.. a four engined plane isnt standard anymore?? what about A380 and 747-400 and 747-8?? and also the A340's in all variants is gonna be in service for many years to come...
@ollo1982 Look up IL-96M & T. This was a Prjoject with PW-Engines and Rockwell Collins Cockpit (not european but western) The current engines are not fuel efficient enough which is one reason why the bird is not a success. Avionics is more than "make the cockpit english". Four engines is indeed not standard anymore in planes this size. There is a reason whay Airbus abandanoed the A340 program. A380 and 747 are much larger than this class.
@ollo1982 And you are right: The first generation engines and the A343 are also far from perfect in regard to the engines. But if you look at the bigger variants like 345 and 346 there is a big difference. Smaller two engine planes will soon (within a decade) disapear mostly in european and US civil aviation and be replaced by models like B777, A330 and the new models like B787. e.g. Lufthansa has started to get rid of his 343 already.
@fire112germany the first models of the Il-96 came with Aviadvigatel PS90 engines... then the later models was equipped with Aviadvigatel PS90A1,that is more fuel efficient... A340-300 is getting replaced in many airlines yes,but there will still be ALOT of asian and european airlines that will fly this birds for MANY years to come... they are simply just to reliable and good for many airlines,that they just an get rid of them...
@edgarasc1 because boeings are airbuses are more popular, higher quality, and the great majority of worldwide airlines prefer then. if it aint boeing, i aint going!
@lonleyraverx14 So what, there is many times more A340´s and 777´s built than IL-96 and they have hundreds of times more flight hours than IL-96, so ofc they have more accidents too, but both have 0 fatal accidents which makes their record much more amazing than IL-96 with 0 crashes but also very few planes built, and IL-96 is nice plane too, but its safety record isnt any more amazing than others.
Cuba has 3 of this, 40 Mig-23, 12 to 15 Mig-21 and 6 Mig-29... Russia is going to modernize Cuba's Navy, They are gonna be sent 20 T-72, 15 T-80s and 3 more Mig-29 are gonna be repaired... They are also gonna get lots of replacement missiles for the Planes and for the Air Defence...
he viajado por cubana de mexico a la habana y de regreso por la misma y esta bien, solo si estas en el d,f. y quieres ir a cuba no contrates a la agencia de viajes VOLANDO TOURS porque te hacen ver tu suerte con tus reservaciones y aparte de todo los boletos que te dan no los confirman con la aerolinea que es la que nada de culpa tiene en eso CUBANA BIEN¡¡¡¡
4yall...either you are a gusano, or an poorly informed American..or both. I WORK for a Cuban company, AND was on that IL-96 that was filmed landing at YYZ. Cuba is NOTHING like CNN or American tells you.
@Carlangas7cabron Fuera exito si los Cubanos pudieran viajar y no solo los extrangeros. Exito fue que el primer vuelo internacional se realizo a Cuba. Cuando aquello loscubanos podian viajar.
(Data from Wikipedia) Doesn't anyone realize that "moviesunrated" is complete idiot! I guess that Russians have device for looking into the future,so that they can copy something from the future! I am pretty sure that AN-225 is copy of something from future too.
Doesnt anyone realise that this is a complete copy of the Airbus A340, I bet soon they will make a copy of the A380, they copied the VC-10 didnt they and Concorde.
Ummm......considering that the IL-96 was out 3 years before the A340, its fair to call the A340 a complete copy of the Il-96. The Tu-144 flew months before the Concorde, and considering the technical differences between the IL-62 and VC-10, all I can say is, they're really different!
New people accessing to the liberty of the free world.
The cuban are independents thanks american iniciative to take philipines and puerto rico. By own, now have a Spanish colony even. This dictatorship preserves thanks the passivity of cubans with an slavery mind.
Who flies with Cubana???Are Cuban people alowed to leave their country? If not, then the plane probably carries tourist and political people in out of Cuba. Bad choice they did with USA....
No my friend, stop LYING or listening to what other people say... CUBANS cannot leave the island... and you seem to not know much about the country, so stop talking about what you don't know...
Because basically the Cuban government owns every single soul on the island and won't let anyone go, whatever the situation, just because they need the people to be slaves and carry out the missions of "communism." No Cuban has the right to go to any other country, except those in the high ranks of the government (generals, secretaries, or celebrities) who agree with the dictatorship imposed on the Cuban people...
lol yeah probably, believe it or not it happens often, and nort to make fun of the Cuban people's economical state, its only the truth, FIdel Castro has done an almost unrecoverable damage to the Cuban economy from almost 50 years go.
really? have you ever been there? I guess not, 'cause americans are not allowed to come to cuba. Don't talk about it if u've never been there. Cuba is a lovely country.
No, I have not been there, I was only BORN THERE, was RAISED THERE and LIVED THERE for the first 10 years of my life... And yes, Cuba is a lovely country... but only for those who have enough dollars to stay in one of the many high-class luxury hotels that the entire Cuban population has been prohibited to enjoy or even see from far (by its own government). Life is very different once you leave those hotels... and it seems you never even went out the door...
no Abanamat85, it's not all about the embargo, because a country that trades with the entire world (but not with the USA) like Cuba, has many possibilities for growth, MORE THAN ENOUGH, but unfortunately the regime in the island controls everything that is shipped in... and so they use the resources to build all kinds of accomodations for the TOURISTS and for the highest leaders but not for the CUBAN PEOPLE... They did the same in Ike when Spain donated roof parts and they sold them to the ppl.
