The Ilyushin Il-96 is a Russian four-engined jet long-haul wide-body airliner designed by Ilyushin in the former Soviet Union and manufactured by the Voronezh Aircraft Production Association in Russia. It is powered by four high-bypass Aviadvigatel PS-90 two-shaft turbofan engines. The Ilyushin Il-96 is a shortened, long-range, and advanced technology development of the Soviet Union's first widebody airliner, the Ilyushin Il-86. It features supercritical wings fitted with winglets, a glass cockpit, and a fly-by-wire control system. In July 2004, Cubana de Aviacion placed an order for two convertible Ilyushin Il-96-300s in a US$110 million deal. In December 2005, Cubana received the first of these aircraft, becoming the first customer of the type beyond the Russian borders.
