The Il-114 is a twin-turboprop regional airliner developed to replace the An-24 on short domestic routes across the former Soviet Union.
Recognition (WEFT)
| W — Wings | Low-mounted, straight |
|---|---|
| E — Engines | 2 × turboprop, wing-mounted |
| F — Fuselage | 26.88 m fuselage |
| T — Tail | Conventional |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- 64-seat regional turboprop
- Low straight wing
- Six-bladed props on TV7-117s
Identify it by the low straight wing carrying two turboprops with six-bladed propellers, the circular-section fuselage seating four abreast, and the conventional swept fin.

History
Ilyushin flew the prototype on 29 March 1990, sizing it for around 64 passengers and short, rough regional airfields. Certification and production dragged on through the 1990s, initially involving assembly in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
Variants
The baseline Il-114 was joined by the re-engined Il-114-100 with Pratt & Whitney Canada powerplants and Western avionics, plus freighter and special-mission proposals. A modernised Il-114-300 later revived the programme in Russia.
Where you'll see it
The Il-114 flew with Uzbek and Russian regional operators and never reached the UK market, where regional turboprop routes were served instead by the ATR and Dash 8 families. Its service has remained modest and largely domestic.
