Talk:Beriev A-50

message: oops.
The picture is not for A-50, but for SKIP.
and the text
  A-50 looks much close to the SKIP aircraft (the fore cockpit should have no glass).
defines the difference!
How to fix??

replies: text: Further to this, there were three types of telemetry aircraft:- Izdeliye-676, Izdeliye-776, Izdeliye-976. (Aircraft-676 etc.), converted from Il-76 airframes.
They were never officially given Bureau prefixes, which were assumed by western observers, before factual information became available. Izdeliye-676 and 776 were quick modifications to replace the Il-18SIP (prototype Il-20RT), which had to be retired unexpectedly from its telemetry duties at LII. Izdeliye-976 (SKIP) was produced as a joint venture with Beriev and five aircraft were converted, from brand new Il-76MD's. The fuselage was virtually stock Il-76 except for the added radomes and aerials, wingtip pods contained more equipment.
Colour scheme is standard Aeroflot with "976" in place of Il-76MD on the nose.  Nato :- 'Mainstay-C'.
A model of an Izdeliye-976 variant, titled Il-76SK, was shown at MAKS-95 and Farnborough 96.
Hope this is a bit clearer, maybe it can be worked into the article? Petebutt (talk) 16:15, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  A-50 vs SKIP 

message: This article states that the A-50 has a fuselage extention and is longer than the IL-76 and the IL-78, yet the dimensions are the same for the 3 aircraft.  I was not able to find any evidence supporting that the A-50 is any longer than IL-76MD —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hudicourt (talk • contribs) 21:55, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fuselage length 

message: I do not think that the A-50 has PS-90 engines.  These are fitted on the IL-76MF and on the IL-76MD-90 but I think that the A-50 has the same D30-KP engines as the IL-76MD —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hudicourt (talk • contribs) 22:03, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Engines 

message: In the text it is stated tha the doors were "welded up". 
This is a very  poor choice of words. Welding of Aluminium Alloy primary structure is unheard of due, to issues with phase of the Alloy/heat treatment.
A better wording would be "deleted" or "faired over"

thread_title:  Cargo Doors 

message: I have editted the variant section to show the proper designations of the Izdeliye conversions. Strictly speaking they should be moved to the Il-76 page as they had/have no relation to the A-50 other than the rotodome fairing. Discussion anyone? Petebutt (talk) 16:49, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

message: can someone upload a newer pic of the a-50, this current pic is ancient. there have been upgrades done to the new version.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Midgetman433 (talk • contribs) 18:24, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
