The Ilyushin Il-106 (Russian: Илью́шин Ил-106) was a proposed 1990s Russian heavy military transport to replace the Il-76.[1] It would have been a four-engined high-wing cantilever monoplane with a large 34 m (111 ft 7 in) cabin.[2]

In 2016 it was announced that the Il-106 airframe would be re-used for the PAK VTA project, a proposed large military transport aircraft for the Russian Air Force.[3]
