[edit] Conflict

Both this and Il-96 say that they were the first to introduce western engines. --80.63.213.182 16:18, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Answer: Tupolev was the first to introduce the Rolls Royce Engines on their planes, and three were built and flying. The first engines were introduced in 1992.
Ilyushin, on the other hand, failed to fruit their goal. The Pratt and Whitney Engines were put, but due to costs, the project failed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 221.148.216.207 (talk • contribs) 3. dec 2006 kl. 13:03.

The engines were introduced in 1993. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 152.149.73.56 (talk • contribs) 6. dec 2006 kl. 06:42.

[edit] Clumsy English

Isn't this article a bit weird? It seems to me that the different words are mixed in a weird way. Example:

Is currently under certification to JAA. The aircraft has cargo version which is successfully operated in Europe and Egypt.

We normally don't make sentences without subject. And shouldn't there be an "a" before "cargo"? --Ysangkok 16:51, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Well yeah, that must be some very bad English from a Russian Wikipedian. Zero76 11:30, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
