X-Plane 9.70+ IL-96-300 Russian Presidential Aircraft. The Russian presidential aircraft are aircraft of the Russian presidential fleet used by the President of Russia and other government officials. The main presidential aircraft is the four-engined, long-range, widebody Ilyushin Il-96-300PU, a highly modified Il-96, with the two last letters standing for "Command Point" in Russian. The interiors of the aircraft are inspired by Russian art. In May 2002, it was reported that fittings used in the Russian presidential aircraft were manufactured in England, and that Vladimir Putin had personally inspected the ongoing work at the Voronezh plant while he was the Prime Minister.
