“Ilyushin Aviation Complex is a Russian aerospace manufacturer created in 1933 by the Soviet Sergei Vladimirovich Ilyushin.
This aircraft manufacturer was the main airplane manufacturer during World War II. This manufacturer specializes in military aircraft, notably cargo planes. Then, the Soviet company diversified by giving the general public access to commercial aviation.
The headquarters is in Moscow, Russia.
Since 2006, Ilyushin Aviation Complex has merged and integrated into the United Aircraft Corporation.
Over 80 years, there have been more than 60,000 airplanes manufactured.
The aircraft produced by Ilyushin are renowned for their:
- reliability
- design simplicity
- low maintenance
- ease of use
The aerospace company, after having largely developed military aircraft, is developing airplanes for the general public. This is to transport passengers on aircraft designed for commercial routes.”
