Many of us have seen already Boeing cockpit shots. And now meet its Russian brother – IL-96 300. Its interior not so stylish like Boeing’s, looks a little bit like inside of some military tank, but Russian engineers made it to last not to please.

IL-96′s are great planes
it’s a shame that they don’t market russian airliners well. The new tupolevs are looking really nice too.
I wonder what it looked like before the glass cockpit.
Makes me want to be a pilot.
Long live Russian technology.
I think there is less buttons in an IL-96 than a Boeing.
I would say the buttons are equivalent. This plane is antiquated. No flying Boeing plane today has an engineer’s station. This task has been split between the computer and co-pilot.
To be fair, it could also be a union thing – supposedly even after they could technically eliminate the Navigator on the plane, the Soviets kept their Navs employed.
Might also be a desire to keep some functions on board – when a plane goes from 3-man to 2-man operations some tasks are also handed back to the ground, and maybe the Russians just decided they’ll keep the engineer and designed the plane that way.
“…Russian engineers made it to last not to please…”
Haha, that’s a good one, ROFLMAO!!!
