Il-114 Variants
During the elaboration of the Il-114, variants were examined with increased passenger capacity. Naturally, for such an airplane, engines of higher power are required than those of TV7-117C. But in Russia there are no such engines, unfortunately. Designers had to consider several types of Western engines, including Pratt & Whitney engines of the PW-125 series, with a take-off power of about 2500 e. In the emergency mode, the takeoff power of these engines is about 3100 e. These studies had been carried out in the project offices since 1992. There is also a large work of the Design Bureau for specialized modifications of the Il-114.
Developed ice reconnaissance aircraft Il-114 are intended to obtain information on the ice cover of the Arctic Ocean in order to provide transport navigation in the Arctic and freezing seas of temperate latitudes. The aircraft should be replaced by completely abandoned ice reconnaissance aircraft based on Il-14 and An-26LR "Toros", which for many years participated in the systematic development and development of the Arctic regions of our country. On the Il-114 for ice reconnaissance it was planned to install instruments for astronomical and satellite navigation, the newest radar devices and perfect radio equipment. To provide greater survivability in the autonomous basing in Antarctica, the Il-114 should be equipped with onboard power units and emergency rescue equipment, as well as a special chassis combining wheels and metal retractable skis whose working surfaces will have polymer coatings designed for specific Antarctic ice-cold snow.
- Il-114-100 Sixty-four-passenger version with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127H turboprops, Hamilton Sundstrand 586E-7 propellers, Thales or Rockwell Collins avionics, and various new systems. Formerly called the Il-114PC. In June 1997, in Paris, during the international aerospace show, an agreement was signed between Pratt & Whitney Canada, +Hamilton Standard-, the Ilyushin Design Bureau and the Tashkent APOhC on the start works on creation of the modified passenger Il-114-100. In December 1998, the first IL-114-100 was transferred from the general assembly workshop to the TAPOiCh flight test station. Then the aircraft was taken to Zhukovsky, where the test pilots I. Gudkov, N. Kuimov, S. Zavalkin and R. Yesayan performed 97 flights. The first flight of the Il-114-100 occurred in January 1999. The tests were crowned with success: the chairman of the Aviation Register of the IAC K.Kruglov on the Il-114-100 signed a type certificate.
- Il-114-200 is the airplane's original designation with a type upgrade to the subsequent Il-114-300;
- Il-114-300 is the proposed Il-114-300 featured TV7-117SM engines, new avionics, and a modified interior seating 48-52 passengers. A freighter variant, the Il-114-300T, was also proposed.
- Il-114DORR Until the beginning of the 1980s, the Il-14 was used to protect fish stocks and conduct fish farming, the range of which allowed patrolling the 200-mile zone in only two hours. In 1983, to control the salmon zone, located east of Kamchatka and the Kuril Islands, Il-18D began to use it, which provided patrols for 7-9 hours. Based on this experience, according to the terms of reference of the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Ministry of Fisheries, S.V. Ilyushin designed and built a modified Il-118DORR - a distant oceanic fish scout.
- Il-114FK is a photo cartographic mapping airplane project. The airplane began to be created in accordance with USSR Council of Ministers Decree Number 553 of 30 October 1988. A concept design was developed for the Il-114FK (25 March 1992). It was intended for solving problems of remote sensing of the earth, for operational typographic aerial photography and radar survey of the terrain providing topographic maps and photoplans, creating thematic maps for agriculture and forestry, geology and organizations involved in environmental protection.
- Il-114LL is an experimental airplane for developing special purpose aircraft complexes; The Il-114LL aircraft is a modification of the IL-114 base aircraft. It was built by order of the Research and Production Enterprise "Radar MMS", St. Petersburg. The IL-114LL airplane is designed for flight testing of test REO samples, performing complex radar, photo and thermal imaging of the Earth and water surface. The aircraft installed a lateral radar of the centimeter and meter ranges, combined television and thermal imaging gyrostabilized system for monitoring the space and documenting the operation of radar equipment.
- Il-114M is a passenger airplane project with the Allison firm's GMA engines for 74 passengers with a range of 2,000 kilometers;
- Il-114MP is a modified multirole patrol airplane based on the Il-114M with two AI-20 (Allison GMA-2100) turboprop engines for patrol, search, detection, tracking and destruction of surface and subsurface targets;
- Il-114ORR is an ocean fish reconnaissance project. With a useful payload of 1,860 kilograms, the Il-114OPP flight range with air navigation fuel reserve for 30 minutes of flight will be 4,000 kilometers with a flight endurance up to 11 hours; With a payload of 1,860 kg, the IL-114ORR range with a fuel reserve of 30 minutes. flight is almost 4000 km, which will allow him to be in the air and carry out the scheduled task within 11h.
- Il-114P is a patrol variant of the airplane. Patrol Il-114P is intended for protection of sea borders. In addition, today there was a problem of monitoring the state of the environment. Enterprises that have gained immense independence in the pursuit of profit, go to many violations in terms of pollution and air, and water basins, dropping untreated production waste into the environment. And the task of state bodies is to identify such violations. The design of the Il-114P is similar to that of the basic Il-114 with the exception of a somewhat altered nose shape. A large freight door is on the starboard side of the aircraft. Two stores stations are located under the center fuselage, and two are under each wing. A gun pod can be carried, as well as other mission stores. First flight of an Il-114P prototype occurred by mid-1996. Ilyushin has been teamed on Il-114P development with the Proton-Service scientific research center, NPO Geophysica, NPO Polyot, VNII Radiotekhnichy Skala, NII Systemotekhnichy, and NII Prinbornoi Avtomatiky.
- Il-114PR is a modified patrol airplane project based on the Il-114M with two TV7-117S series 2 (PW-127H) turboprop engines for patrol, electronic intelligence and electronic warfare;
- Il-114PRP is a modified patrol airplane project based on the Il-114 with the TV7-117S series 2 (PW-150) turboprop engines for patrol, electronic intelligence and electronic countermeasures.

Aviation complex them. S. V. Ilyushina (part of the United Aircraft Corporation) is working on the creation of a four-engine version of the Il-114 aircraft. This was announced 30 July 2021 in an interview with TASS by the first deputy general director of UAC Sergey Yarkovoy. “We are proactively thinking in the direction of creating a four-engine car,” he said. According to him, it will be a platform solution that will provide enhanced capabilities compared to the standard Il-114. "It will be a vehicle with a greater range and carrying capacity, but maximally unified with the Il-114-300," Yarkova said. According to the deputy general director of the UAC, unification with the already existing two-engine version will reduce the time and cost of creating a new machine, and also, in the future, will enable the operator to use two platforms more efficiently at the same time.
