A new Russian airlifter, the Il-76MD-90A, has successfully performed a test flight that involved takeoff and landing on an unpaved runway.
Sporting more powerful engines than its predecessor’s, the aircraft is designed for airlifting, as well as airdropping, both cargo and personnel.
Il-76MD-90A’s improved landing gear allows it to land on and take off from unpaved airstrips in various climate zones.
