Il-86 precursors

[Maveric]

Hi all,

found this at FliegerRevue from 1977. This are all precursors of the good known Iljuschin Il.86. They have all the same designation Il.86 ???

Interesting, I do wonder what the high-bypass engines in the Tristarski-configuration would have been. Such engines would have made the aircraft a lot more economical than it turned out.

Dear Maveric, here is a drawing with a short description describing an early version when the Ilyushin Il-86 was still a "project". Note how similar it is to the Ilyushin Il-62M, with the same Soloviev D-30K engines (a modelmaking project for Overkiller perhaps ;D ?). The lack of compound sweep on the wing trailing-edge does look odd......

The drawing and description come from the July 1972 issue of Air Enthusiast......

Re: Ilyushin Il-86 preliminary design project......

Dear Boys and Girls, obviously the Ilyushin design bureau soon realised that a rear-engined configuration was incompatible with wide-body airliner design (I wonder why BAC didn't realise this with their BAC 3-11; oops, off topic ). Here is an article revealing the changes made to the Ilyushin Il-86 "project"; the drawing is now much closer to the real production aircraft......

The article comes from the November 1972 issue of Air Enthusiast......

Here is the explanation to those seven drawings,and Il-86 variant,from the same source.
