	Antonov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Antonov's airplanes range from the rugged An-2 'Colt' biplane (which itself is comparatively large for a biplane) through the Antonov An-28 reconnaissance aircraft to the massive An-124 'Condor' and An-225 'Cossack' strategic airlifters (the latter being the world's biggest aircraft in service).
		This is why Antonov airplanes were often constructed by aerospace companies in Kharkiv (Ukraine), Novosibirsk (Russia), and Tashkent (Uzbekistan).
		The company is named after Oleg Antonov, its founder and head designer of An-2, An-24, An-22 and other legendary planes.
