Is this more fuel efficient than the A340? Or maybe, the right question: Does fuel efficiency even matter in Russia?
erm...Engines Made in Russia...what do you think?! 😂😂
@@swanvictor887Much worse
Their jet engines were designed for reliability and simplicity (thus cheaper) but with shorter lifespan compared to western engines. Worse fuel efficiency too.
@@filledwithvariousknowledge2747 they made new engines they are pretty good on paper and judging by that they are going to be used its safe tos ay they are more efficient then the older engines they used
I don’t think it matters. The only customers will be Russian airlines and Cubana, they just want Russian built jets and I don’t think they care about that.
Didn’t know their are so many aircraft experts in the chat 😂
Probably they were part of the project, that's why they knew it.😆
They have designed countless jet planes and flown them. Didn't you know?😂😂😂

Beautiful plane. Quad jets always look better and safer. I love the short sharp nose.

Russia has to start making more domestically made aircraft since it can't depend on Western aircraft/parts anymore due to sanctions.

You'll be surprised how many miss that.
Problem is modern jets are really really complicated, the material science is in another dimension. Russia can’t complete all by themselves.

Exactly
45m cabin length......while A340-200 has 46m
😂 And that's the short one with CFM engines!
Wrong. It's 63.93m, very close to the A340-300's 63.69m
Cabin length and fuselage length are two different things@@DiminishingAugmentation
Yes. But the Russian plane has two genders only.
Spooky
Staying with four engines probably means some trust and thrust issues 😂
Why do others have 2 engines? Why don't they just keep one single engine after all if there is so much trust and thrust?
@@julienckjm7430 More engines - more safety - more flexibility - higher production costs - higher operating costs - higher noise - higher environmental pollution.

If the IL 96 was any good Aeroflot would still be useing them the only commercial airline still useing it is CUBANA and the only reason they are is because they can't get anything to replace it

That's what I loved about the old Soviet Union era aircraft. They looked so strange. It was like Boeing, Lockheed and BOAC knew that the KGB had infiltrated their companies. So they purposefully made up plans for their spies to find. Once they got the bogus plans back behind the iron curtain. They soon realized the problem, but they made them work anyway.

If that also means more crashes than the entire 737 series 3 fold, then I also expect that too if Russia's aviation industry turns back to the 1970s.

To me, four engines suggests they don't trust the engines enough to only have two.
They don't have engines that are powerful enough to use just two. The engines on this 400M are the equivalent of the PW2000's

This model is already behind 40 years! 4 ENGINES? Omg Looks like 707!
Doesn‘t matter. It‘s exclusively for the Russian market and there it currently has zero competition
4 engines are out date
Il-96 was outdated design even by the early 90th standards (when it entered production). By today's standards it's just ancient design. Pretty sure when there are going to be talks of actually buying it Aeroflot would try to get out of the deal by stalling the deal with additional requirements like they do now with Tu-204.
Due to the four engines?
They have no other choice, cant buy western planes.
What exactly about its airframe is so outdated? Or what, do you think it's still got soviet-era internals and materials?
Ru$$ia is the only country that can make airplanes independently.
Airbus and Boeing outsource many of their components.
Incredibly, despite the sanctions, they still manage to do something unique!

Range is 5400 nm, so below average for modern widebodies.
The range is all the way to the crash site! 🤔
You're asking about range with 4 old fashioned engines? How quaint.
