Russian IL-96 Plane Cockpit Shots
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.
