The first Soviet jumbo jet, the IL-86, would begin test flights in Dec., according to a Moscow broadcast. The plane would be able to carry 350 passengers at about 373 kph over distances up to 1460 km, according to claims, which would mean it could make nonstop flights from Moscow to Lisbon. The noise level inside the plane would be lower than that in Boeing jumbo jets, the broadcast added. (FBIS, Moscow to North America in English, 12 Nov 76)
