Aircraft of a New Generation

The An-148 Is the Regional Passenger

AN-38 – Light Multi-Purpose Aircraft

AN-140 and AN-140-100 New Generation Regional Aircraft

AN-70 Medium Wide-Body STOL Transport Aircraft

The AN-70 is intended to transport a wide range of general and outsize cargoes of 35-47 t weight over distances up to 3,000-5,100 km when operating from surfaced runways of 1,700 m length. With a longer range of 6,600 km then 20 t of cargo can be carried. In the STOL mode when operating from 700 m runways the AN-70 is capable of transporting 20-30 t of cargo over a distance of up to 3,000 km.

The digital integrated avionics system provides comfortable working conditions for the crew as well as ensuring all-weather operations around the clock, all the year round and at all latitudes.

The aircraft systems and components as well as the on board cranes with lifting capacity of 12 t permit self-sufficient operations from unprepared airfields for up to 30 days away from base.

The An-140 new regional aircraft is intended for passenger and mixed cargo/passenger transportation. An-140 is the substitute for the An-24 aircraft that has been operated already for about forty years.

The An-140 aircraft has a high wing arrangement, standard tail configuration and two wing-mounted TB3-117VMA-SBM1 turboprop engines. The AИ9-3Б auxiliary power unit installed at the rear part of the fuselage provides the independent aircraft operation from the unpaved airfields.

The AN-38 is a regional aircraft for passengers, mail and cargo transportation on the local air routes.

The AN-38-100 aircraft is intended to airlift 27 passengers at a maximum speed of 405 km/h over a distance of 900 km. Its maximum cargo capacity is 2,500 kg. The aircraft is suited for operation over a wide range of temperatures: from -50˚C up to +45˚C using rather small airfields, including unpaved and those covered with ice and snow. The passenger seats and luggage racks can be folded up and fastened to the cabin walls in stowed position. A rear cargo hatch and on board cargo handling gear allow quick in-service conversion from passenger to cargo use.

In cooperation with the enterprises of Ukraine, Russia and other countries, Antonov ASTC creates the family of AN-148 regional twin jets intended for passenger, cargo-passenger and cargo transportations on regional and short-range air routes. New airliners will replace the AN-24, Tu-134, Yak-40 and Yak-42 whose service life is coming to an end.

Especially for the AN-148 aircraft family Ivchenko-Progress State Enterprise has designed a new Д-436-148 engine. It is equipped with the auto control and monitoring systems, which optimize work of the engine on all the segments of flight, increase its reliability, decrease fuel consumption and cost of service.

The aircraft is provided with manual and automatic flight control to be used in particular on programmed route. It is able to perform automatic approach by the norms of the I, II and III ICAO categories, horizontal and vertical navigation, take-off and landing under SID and STAR rules. Automatic monitoring of the systems status during a flight and automatized one on the ground with informing the crew and maintenance staff are provided.

The complex of aviation security measures is provided at AN-148. The aircraft is equipped with bullet-proof doors, communication between crew and flight attendants, the video observation system, the place for weapon and ammunition storage, masked approaches, antitheft devices, special means for placing of explosive assembly in case of finding it onboard during a flight.
