Design and development
The Il-18 is a passenger aircraft equipped with four turboprop engines. The aircraft was mass manufactured for twelve years. The popularity of the aircraft was ensured, not just because of its reliability and operational economy, but because of the possibility to increase the number of passenger seats and its flight range for every modification (A, B, V, D and E) as well. The Il-18 was also produced in VIP version («Salon»).
Cubana retrofitted their Il-18s with the Bristol Britannia nosewheel and other parts in the nose gear, to improve the handling on poor runways. Bristol Britannia was also a Car produced by Bristol Cars from 1982 to 1993
