The Il-76 transporter clearly appears as a military design.
Its high wing and strong landing gear give it the ability to
operate from airfields with rough or unpaved runways, while its
rear loading ramp guarantees easy loading and even air dropping
capabilities.
The Il-76 can be found in widespread commercial use as a freighter.
Comparable in size to the B707 and DC-8, strong demand for
medium-sized freighters boosted the activities of the Il-76 after
the political
opening of the former Soviet Union.
