An-2 Colt
Making its maiden flight in 1947, the multipurpose An-2 is one of the world’s most enduring and versatile aircraft.
An-74
Designed as a freight transporter, the An-74 is also a successful regional passenger airliner offering short take-off and landing capability.
An-124 Condor
One of the biggest freight aircraft in the world, the An-124 is equipped with oversize front and rear cargo hatches for loading extremely large single payloads.
An-148
A modern twin-jet aircraft designed for passenger transportation, the An-148 offers a level of comfort comparable to long-haul airplanes.
An-225 Mriya
A superheavy transporter, the An-522 can transport cargo in its huge internal freight compartment, or it can ‘piggyback’ unusual payloads on top of its fuselage.
