I was looking at this and noticed that the aircraft is new. Russian aviation has come a long, long way in the last twenty years, and I'm going to make a couple of assumptions:
1) It's a four engined transport. Would the electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems not be similar in principle to most other civil aircraft? By this I mean a few manufacturers seemed to have settled on reasonably similar methods for systems layout - common sense practice I suppose.
2) Given the above, why so many crew stations? I can see six seats - what does everybody do?
I'm not being critical - on the contrary, I think it's fab. I'm just wondering how the operation of such an aircraft differs systemically to others.
