Ilyushin Il-108

The Ilyushin Il-108 was a twin-jet business aircraft project drafted in 1990 by the Russian manufacturer Ilyushin. A first model was presented in the same year, but apparently no Il-108 ever took to the air. In appearance it is close to the Canadair Challenger 300. The draft listed two versions, a nine-seat executive aircraft and a 15-passenger commercial aircraft, both low-winged and with a T-tail. Two Lotarev DV-2 turbofans, each giving a thrust of 21.6 kN, sat on either side of the rear fuselage, and a second version was planned with Lotarev DV-22 derivatives of bypass ratio 5 and 35 kN thrust. The crew was two, the payload 1,600 kg and the maximum take-off weight 14,300 kg.
