IL-76 is designed to transport equipment and cargo for various purposes. The aircraft is capable of delivering, depending on the modification, loads with a maximum weight of 28-60 tons over a distance of 3600-4200 km with a cruising speed of 770-800 km/h.

The cargo compartment is 24.5 m long (of which 4.5 is on the ramp), 3.46 m wide and 3.4 m high[5]; the inclined cargo ramp also serves as a ladder for the entry of equipment. The space under the floor of the cargo compartment is used for auxiliary cargo compartments to accommodate various equipment[6]. All cabins of the IL-76 are sealed, which makes it possible to transport 145 (in the two-deck version - 225) soldiers with personal weapons or ensure the release of 126 people of the landing group. The aircraft can transport the entire range of military equipment of the airborne divisions. One Il-76 can parachute, on landing platforms, up to four pieces of equipment (BMD-1, BMD-2, BTR-D or GAZ-66) or three with an accompanying landing force of up to 21 people, or four units by landing method. It can also carry most of the equipment of motorized rifle divisions.

The aircraft is capable of taking on board up to 109,000 liters of fuel and covering a distance of up to 6,700 km with an average fuel consumption of 9 tons per hour, a ferry range of up to 10,500 km.

Designed for operation on concrete and unpaved airfields with strength characteristics of at least 0.6 MPa, capable of landing on the ice airfield of Antarctica. The length of the takeoff run is 1500-2000 m, and the landing run is 930-1000 m.

IL-76 makes it possible to deliver cargo to hard-to-reach places, including to drifting scientific stations in the Arctic Ocean using various methods of parachute landing. The characteristics of the aircraft made it possible to set several world aviation records
