[hakan737]

are they using any special tyres while making brake after landing for ice runway?(if they use, for getting much better breaking provides)

красавец!

[kolja2003]

Il 76 is military transport plane. It has designed capability to land on soil run ways. Like dirt, ice and so on. It used to deliver tanks and company of rifles behind the enemy line. Carring supplies to expedition in Antarctice is easy task for that plane.

[damaged01]

How long does it take for the plane to stop?

[evgened]

@damaged01 They're using studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta =)

[rusko99]

Russia, dude, Russia!

[emiratesA380NCL]

where do the planes coe from.

[Dolentibus]

@emiratesA380NCL They fly in from Punta Arenas in Chile. It's a four and a half hour flight and you're sitting on a little fold down seat inside the fuselage with earplugs in.

[freeserve1942]

Must save tyres couldn't see any smoke !!

[popester7]

Are the wheels even turning?

[Orangebike666]

How much runway does it need when landing on level ice and how much does it need on an incline? (or is that an optical illusion in the first landing?)

[USAFBuster]

The Russky planes are made to perform well in ice and snow condidtions, lol.

[mythicalness]

the song sounds like the fat il76 is singing

[Megasly]

Резина - шипы или липучки?-)))

[DvoretskiyVitaliy]

GST Aero ILYUSHIN IL-76TD/ UN-76004 registered in Kazakhstan :)

[darksergent]

how does it stop? @_@

[keeevan]

@darksergent they use the power of the engines and point the thrust in the opposite direction. Its called reverse thrust and you can clearly see the shell looking peice of metal behind the outboard engines

[85LARGE]

he even tries to keep the nose up for a little bit to slow it down as much as he can :)

[Airshow2010]

Why do IL-76 land with almost 0 degrees pitch up all the time? I find that all other jets land about 5 degrees pitch up except in extreme winds.

[HugoAndres]

@Airshow2010 Is because the runways. The touchdown has to be positive zero flare in order to break the snow and allow the wheels to spin in the hard part of the ice that is how to avoid an aqua landing

[ReneLego]

You gotta love Mother Russia, right?

Nice video!

[tsaarmartijn]

Only Russians can do this!!!!!! Glory to Russian Aircraft!!!!!!!!!!

[TalksWithDirt]

@tsaarmartijn Not true, C-130, C-141, C-5, C-17, even Airbus A320 can do this. It's impressive yes, but Russia does not stand alone in Antarctic aircraft operations.

[docrw]

@tsaarmartijn LOL, only russians copy so many designs.

[Vanyaaynav]

@docrw Americans also copy many projects of Soviet period F-35 from Jak-141 if to tell more that all engineering specifications and drawings the USA after disorder USSR.Il-76 a good birdie have been sold many years...)))

[heshamfm]

what's the music? who's signer? any clue?

[flemmong]

If the reverse thrust fails - then he will be in for a bellysurfing stunt at the end of the clearing

[DaveFromBrooklyn]

I have a question for anyone who's very familiar with the IL-76 and like-mission aircraft. How does the IL-76 not swerve on the ice when landing? Are their special tires? Do the spoilers create such a down-force that the plane literally digs in the ice?

[MisekD2]

@DaveFromBrooklyn I'am not a pilot but i guess that in a low speed (when you are not able to use rudder) you can adjust direction of plane by increasing throttle while on reverse. Generally the idea would be while one engine would thrust forward and the other on oposite side would be reversed the plane should start rotating. =P

Hope I will try it one day :D

[Chuckjagermeister]

@MisekD2 Actually the rudder in almost all planes is the first thing to have effectiveness, like in a takeoff roll, and the last thing to lose effectiveness, like in a landing run. But yeah, varying engine thrust in a plane like this will change it's direction whether it's in normal forward (100%) thrust or reverse (40%) thrust.

[streetstream]

@DaveFromBrooklyn Actually, all it ever does, is slide. It slides on the ice and uses the reverse trust to brake and the rudder to keep going straight. If you were axpecting it to slide sideways, it won't because their isn't a force trying to spin it sideways. It is not like a car, because the tires aren't providing the forward motion. The engines are. The only forces that can make it go side ways are: wind, uneven engine trust and rudder. Wind can be countered by the rudder.

[vvzpanda]

@DaveFromBrooklyn

engines on reverse (like for short runway)

[ovenstaedt]

on ice?

[netsquall]

try doing that with an american plane.. CRUNCH

[fsxdosmildos]

Russian pilots always lands with the nose wheel haha lol

[plavins1]

great airplane

[robkatpl]

Brawo!!!

[ericg83z]

so instead of usng brakes, does it rely on reverse thusters and flaps to stop?

[Nelsonwmj]

Lol should be pretty easy for the plane to take off. Haha

[chokedad]

amazing. such a sturdy aircraft.

[ness19dsm]

awsome pilots!

[RealMuGen]

самый лучший грузовик

[mikado201019]

:-)

Эти сумасшедшие русские!

:-)

[DrifterThai]

fuck russians planes

[odinandme]

what if there are penguins on the runaway?

[TRUMPHENT]

@odinandme This is probably a little too far inland for there to be penguins. That is of course assuming the penguins haven't been imported for silly filming of aircraft landing on an ice strip far inland.

[kingdale0011]

THEN THE GET HIT

[eltfell]

@odinandme They will be flattened.

[legaliseme]

@odinandme splat

[AFlyingNunofOz]

@odinandme

Sucked to be them.

[RedOcktober]

@odinandme

penguin steaks on the dinner menu for the next couple of days...

--Mike

[draale]

@odinandme They run away.

[eclipse245]

@odinandme you run them over

[chrishac100]

@odinandme the engines will pppppppick up a penguin

[brizzz888]

@odinandme

Then pilots send this info to IBIS (ICAO Bird Strike Information System), to notice other pilots abot this kind of hazard. But, obviously in case of IL-76 only navigator mus afraid and anly from tall penguins. There is no risk for winscreen or engine damage due to impact with that kind of birdy! :)))

[Dolentibus]

@odinandme The penguins are all on the coast (or nearby). Patriot Hills is about 600 miles inland. Not a bird in sight; flightless or otherwise.

[iqaluitairport]

No they do not use studs only reverse and spoilers. Beacuse if they use the breaks they slide.

[KartKing4ever]

4 stars -1 because of music and what the fuck were they thinking?

[squadman33]

Does he have studded tires ??? that's glare ice !!!!

[gavriel999]

обалденно выглядит! Я только не понимаю, ак его не заносит по скользкому покрытию. Он же на чистый лёд садится?

[Buffik2000]

Там красиво, хотел бы там поработать!

[Latvietis96]

I bet he skid about 4 miles

[pascalcs]

Excellent pilot.

[Zacydude96]

don't squish the punguins

[HotRadio4U]

They will not use their brakes on ice. At 1:24 you see the thrust reversers on the turbines. These are turbine parts deflect the beam to the front.

The Il-76T was powered by Soloviev D-30KP turbofans providing a maximum thrust of 117.7 kN (12,000 kgp / 26,455 lbf) and fitted with bucket-type thrust reversers; normally only the thrust reversers on the outboard engines were used.

[ljeskovica]

Do they fly down there with any other planes?

[N277WA]

C-17 and C-130

[dration]

А не подскажете, какой у него получается в такой ситуации "тормозной путь"?

Там же остановка происходит практически за счет механизации крыла, если сцепление с поверхностью, считай, нулевое...

[Chrisy299]

Very impressive. I dont see something before.

[Buffik2000]

Хороший фильм про хороший самолет и музыка что надо!

[annyonghaseyo90]

музыка плоха но хороший самолет да да!

[Buffik2000]

Это же "YELLO-1991", альбом "Baby". Разве плохая музыка?

[annyonghaseyo90]

не знаю. Да? :D

[Omaricoxxx]

did he hit the brakes on touch down? I didn't see it go, maybe because the pilot doesn't want it to slide?

[lucolorato1986]

does it have special tires?

[cedarjet707]

That is beautiful. I am a big fan of the mighty 76, and have spent some time flying her, but only in Europe. However it comes as no surprise to see her get in and out of an ice runway at the south pole! Like Patroni said about the 707 in the movie Airport (in answer to a junior mechanic who says, "The book says that can't be done"): "The 707 can do anything except read!" Likewise the 76.

Thank you so much for posting.

[greatgoindia2020]

well il-76 are amazing workhorses and they have good record of being one of the most robust aircrafts existing, we indians love these monsters.They are extremely powerful and there structure is very strong.

[etuberalism]

Oh, tx for upload.

[etuberalism]

I love this airplane.

[heshamfm]

who is singing?

[AirKoryoTu204]

Kazakh Il-76!!!!!! I love these aircraft they fly over my home every day (although not from Antarctica!)

[iriwan]

massive tail

[lukesimonbrothers]

it is ugly lol

[313BOSTON]

i agree,it is beautiful

[Pakizfam]

thanks for sharing

[Skiaffo]

how long is a landing runway on ice?

[pupsluber]

a bit longer then on ground

[ambientflier]

I'm guessing it won't make THAT much difference if they use reverse thrust to come to a stop. Ice doesn't affect its ability to slow the airplane.

If they mainly use the brakes...well then, good luck... :P

[slavar]

Nice landing, its also cool in 1:05 when you can see reverse thrust buckets deployed.

[bandit2xx]

Whoooa! Nice landing

That Ice is damn thick to support all that weight... Scary idea since most known vehicles ice skating end in crash

[FlowerCrownOfPoppy]

That is realy prefessional pilots.

[pjtc85]

these pilots should also consider iceskating.

[airbutz]

absolut great hardware.. and a great crew.. my compliments !!!

[monxini1982]

cool Vid, very unuasual

That aircraft is here in Punta Arenas on the apron right now. Maybe later is going to SCPZ

[saintmirrenmalky]

Fantastic landing and a spectacular aicraft.

[flyboyskyboy]

Great plane!:)And Pilots too!:)

[Techno04335]

better than a380

[muffigw]

Slippery? Unbelieveable vid! :O

[swingeringe]

Highest class pilots

[Dolentibus]

Gives some great views of the landing. The runway is 2.8km of blue ice, blown clear by the wind (which is why the pilot can't brake!). I landed at Patriot Hills in this aircraft last November. The thing that makes it even more exciting(?) is that you are sitting on a fold down seat inside the fuselage, with no view outside and plugs in your ears to tame the extraordinary noise. Stepping out onto the ice of Antarctica makes it all worthwhile!

[biertier99]

That Iliuschin looks very short

[starcityassassins]

Great video. What is the music?

[Lloydnco]

music is Rubberbandman - Yello

[p2philip]

awesome - thanks!

[northsurfer979]

Very Cool indeed. Great landing, and you'd want it to be, in Antarctica...

[EDDLspotter]

Very Cool, nice 5 p

[DVA4098]

That pilot definetly greased the landing.
