	Antonov An-72 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Designed as a STOL transport, the Antonov An-72 (NATO reporting name Coaler) was intended as a replacement for the An-26, but variants have found success as commercial freighters.
		An interesting design feature of the An-72 and An-74 is the use of the Coanda effect to improve STOL performance, utilizing engine exhaust gases blown over the wing's upper surface to boost lift.
		The An-72 bears similar resemblance to an earlier aircraft, the experimental Boeing YC-14.

	Antonov AN-72
		The Antonov An-72 (NATO name Coaler) was designed in the mid-1970’s as a replacement for the An-26 (NATO name Curl), a turboprop powered light tactical transport aircraft that served in great numbers in almost every Soviet bloc country.
		The An-72 is an unusual design with its two 14,3000lb ZMKB Progress D-36 turbofans mounted high on the wing, enabling the engine exhaust to be directed over the wing to improve STOL performance.
		To resolve this problem the designers came up with a novel and unique solution; the An-72 was completely re-designed and swept forward, rather than backward, and the radome housing the Kvant early warning radar was attached on top of the tailfin.

	Antonov
		The Antonov An-72 and An-74 series of small jetliners is slowly replacing that fleet and a larger Antonov An-70 freighter is under development.
		Antonov's airplanes range from the rugged Antonov An-2 biplane (which itself is comparatively large for a biplane) through the Antonov An-28 reconnaissance aircraft to the massive Antonov An-124 and An-225 cargo carriers (the latter being the world's biggest aircraft in service).
		Whilst less famous, the Antonov An-24, An-26 and An-30 series of twin turboprop, high winged, passenger transport aircraft are important for domestic air services particularly in parts of the world once led by communist governments.

		The Antonov AN-12 (cub) is a Soviet paratroop passenger and freight transport aircraft.
		The Antonov An-24 is a 52-seater a short-range twin turboprop aeroplane, similar to the Fokker-VFW F 27 Friendship.
		With an extra centre-section fuel tank, thicker wing roots and Kriiger flaps for a sprightly takeoff at "hot and high" airports, the Airbus was converted from a short- to a medium-range airliner in the 1974 B4 version.

		The largest turboprop transport in the world comes from Antonov, the An-22 Antheus, as well as the largest cargo aircraft period, the six-engined An-225, capable of carrying the Buran space shuttle.
		Oleg Constantinovich Antonov started out designing gliders at Tushino in the 1930s, then moved to powered aircraft with the Yakovlev OKB in the early 1940s.
		Turboprops were the powerplants of choice for the aircraft of Antonov, providing a great balance between power, range, and fuel consumption.

		An-74AEW Madcap - AEW version of the Antonov An-72 twin-turbofan STOL transport.
		If an engine fails, the upper surface spoiler forward of the aileron on the opposite wing is opened automatically; as a result, the wing bearing the dead engine drops only 12~ in 5 s instead of the 30~ that it would drop through loss of lift without the action of the Antonov patented spoiler.
		After the breakup of the Soviet Union, Antonov has become an Ukranian company.

	Cheburashka
		Though Antonov through all his life believed in usefulness of fuel-efficient turbopros, it had to be a turbofan engine that could allow to get a sufficient workout from the Coanda effect.
		The project of an aircraft using Coanda effect to increase lift was initiated by Oleg Antonov himself.
		In terms of navigation and flight equipment, An-72 features a navigation/weather radar in nose, HF and VHF commuters, ADF, compatible with DME, Tacan, VOR, ILS ans SP systems.

		The Antonov bureau considered building a double-decker airliner version of the An-22, with a capacity of 724 passengers, but this machine never got beyond design studies.
		On 16 June 1965, the Soviet Union impressed Western observers by flying in the prototype of a new cargolifter aircraft, the Antonov "An-22 Antei (Antheus)", to the Paris Air Show.
		The narrow-chord wing of the An-22 meant that the total wing area was low and so the wing loading was unusually high for a cargolifter, but the wing had double slotted flaps over 60% of its length, and the An-22 could take off in 1,400 meters (4,265 feet) in fully-loaded condition.

		An-30 posesses remarkable glassy nose (to accomodate an observer and some survey devices) and can be easily identified from both front and side projections.
		That's why a skilled plane spotter is able to identify an incoming plane at large distance and make a descision if he/she wants to photograph this type or not.
		In order to take a good picture, one should be prepared to take any picture at all.
