The aircraft is equipped with PS-90A-76 engines with digital avionics. The payload of Il-476 has been increased from 50 tо 60 tons. The crew of the advanced transport jet includes six members. It has been reported earlier that the ground testing of Il-476 will be started in spring 2012.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
