Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation to produce over 100 jets per year
Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) plans to produce more than 100 planes per year, the company’s general designer Sergei Korotkov said Friday.

"We plan to boost (production) to 100 jets a year," he said.
When asked how many warplanes the company plans to produce, he said: "This is a question to be addressed to the Defense Ministry."

As was reported earlier the United Aircraft Corporation plans to bring the share of civil aircraft sales revenues from 20% to 45% by 2035, according to its corporate development strategy released in end 2016.

Compare Superjet landing with that of IL-96 , seems IL-96 has more manual work to do  

Between Aviation Complex. SV Ilyushin and United Aircraft Corporation signed a contract to carry out development work on the creation of modernized passenger aircraft IL-96-400M.

In addition to the development activities, the program will create it include the organization of serial production, development and implementation of the state support of aircraft leasing companies selling system, development and implementation of after-sales service system.

Creating IL-96-400M will contribute to solving the tasks of ensuring the availability of transport of the Russian regions, meeting the needs of long-haul aircraft equipment domestic production, as well as the technological independence of the Russian Fedkratsii.

The wide-body long-haul passenger aircraft IL-96-400M created as a further development of the Il-96-300.

The fuselage of the airliner will be extended to 9.65 meters, as the power plant will be used more powerful PS-90A1 engines instead of the PS-90A, which will improve fuel efficiency.

IL-96-400M can take on board up to 390 passengers. large-diameter fuselage provides passengers with a modern level of comfort on long-haul flights. The passenger compartment is equipped with modern infotainment system, providing access to the Internet, television and satellite communication, convenient luggage shelves, a modern pantry-kitchen equipment.

The aircraft is planned to establish a modern flight control and navigation system, to which IL-96-400M will meet all ICAO requirements for aircraft of such dimensions.

Serial production of the IL-96-400M will be deployed at PJSC "VASO" in Voronezh.

In terms of reliability, safety and efficiency of IL-96-400M is on a par with global peers.

The aerodynamic configuration, assemblies and systems of the aircraft used modern design solutions, providing a high level of safety and efficiency of aircraft operation.

Terms of the contract provide for the production of prototype Il-96-400M for flight tests. It is planned that the first time he will rise in the sky in 2019.

So the new Il-96-400M will be how long exactly?
9,65m longer than the base Il-96-300 which is 55 meters long...so 64m long or thereabouts? In other words...it will still be as long as the original Il-96-400?

I guess I'm also trying to figure out whether all the models developed from the baseline Il-96-300, in other words the Il-96M, Il-96T, Il-96TZ, Il-96-400 and now the Il-96-400M have the same fuselage stretch.
