History., The Ilyushin Il-76 (NATO name 'Candid') was developed as a replacement for the turboprop powered Antonov An-
12 (described separately).

Il-76 development under the leadership of G V Novozhilov began in the late 1960s, resulting in the type's first flight on
March 25 1971. Series production commenced in 1975.

In the now classic military freighter configuration, the Il-76 features a high mounted wing passing above the fuselage, four
engines, a T-tail, rear loading ramp and freight doors. For enhanced short field performance the Il-76 features wide span
triple slotted trailing edge flaps, upper surface spoilers and near full span leading edge slats, while the aircraft rides on a
total of 20 low pressure tires, the front nose unit features four wheels, the main wheel bogies having two rows of four tires
each.

Military versions developed from the basic Il-76 include the Il-76M with additional fuel and the Il-76MD with increased
takeoff and payload weights and D-30KP-2s which retain their power output to higher altitudes. The stretched PS-90
powered Il-76MF first flew on August 1 1995. The A-50 AEW&C development is described under Beriev.

The Il-78 'Midas' is an air-to-air refuelling development ~fl the Il-76, built to replace Myasishchev 'Bison' tankers. The Il-78
is based on the Il-76MD and features two internal fuel tanks which can be removed allowing the aircraft to revert to a
freighter. The more developed Il-78 features three permanent tanks capable of holding up to 35 tonnes of fuel. Fuel is
transferred via three hose drum units, one under each wing and one on the rear starboard fuselage, a rangefinding radar is
built into the rear fuselage and the observer is located in the tail. Service entry was in 1987."
