The IL-18 was the Russian LockHeed Electra. Contrary to popular belief, a turboprop engine is a turboJET engine with a propeller attached. That's why it's called a turboprop. The propeller provides 90 percent of the thrust while the jet exhaust adds an additional 10 percent thrust. But most people, when they hear the word "Turboprop", they think of a turbocharged piston prop engine-(a Porch engine with a propeller attached). Not so! When I lived in Ithaca NY, 1991 thru Twenty O Two, I flew back to my native Charlotte NC for special things like Christmas etc. Out of Ithaca, to a US Airways hub, New York LaGuardia, Philly or Pittsburgh, I flew on various regional turboprop airliners. Those aircraft included the Beechcraft 1900 C and D models, Jetstream 13, Shorts 360, and my favorite of all of those aircraft, the DeHaviland Dash-8 series 100. DeHaviland has since changed their name to Bombardia. The Dash 8 was my favorite because it's cabin was most like that of a regular airliner, but yet it was still a turboprop. I like flying on the turboprops better than the regular jets because I love watching the propellers spin, as well as hearing and seeing the engines fire up. When the propeller starts to rotate and gain speed, you hear the whine of the turbojet engine. When the propeller reaches ground idle, when the prop blades become virtually invisible, the chafe cutter sound like that of a box fan is added to the whine of the engines. At ground idle, I estimate that the props are rotated at between 500 to 700 RPM, judging from a video of a front load laundry machine. Takeoffs are more exhilarating when the props are revved up to 1,400 RPM, and produce that low pitched drone that often vibrates the cabin. It to me is a great surge of power. Many say that driving a vehicle with a manual transmission is "Real Driving". I say that flying in a propeller driven airliner is "Real Flying". Nearly all US airliners have done away with the regional turboprops and gone to regional jets, which eat up fuel. Aircraft flying into and out of Charlotte Douglas that fly over my apartment building, when I see and hear 'em, I always say, "I wish it were a turboprop". Though a bit slower, and not able to fly at as high a altitude, its my understanding that turboprop engines are more fuel efficient than the big jet engines of a Boeing 737 or Airbus A-320.
ИЛ-18 - удивительный самолёт. Надёжный, красивый! Спасибо за прекрасное видео!

That low pass looked incredible!
I love that sound of the il 18 passing by
Turboprop sounds is so exciting
И тёплый керосиновый ветер ❤
loved this,,got a ill 18d on me flight sime,great aircraft👌
Ил 18 это конечно шедевр.
Кстати. У него такие же воздушные винты, каки на Ан-24, только они меньшего диаметра.
Flew on a Tarom IL 18 to Romania in the 80s
9:27!!! Megnéztem már vagy hatszázszor, de nem tudom megunni. Mekkora lehetett a sebesség?
cпасибо!))
My great pleasure !
