The Ilyushin Il-76 was a Soviet, and is currently mainly a Russian, high-wing long-range transport aircraft. A prototype flight took place in 1974, and the machine entered production in 1974. The drive - in the basic version - is provided by four Soloviev D-30KP turbojet engines with a thrust of 117.7 kN each. The plane is 46.59 meters long with a wingspan of 50.5 meters. The single 23mm GSz-23 cannon was rarely used as a deck armament.
