Aviators can easily put their skills to the test in one of the most versatile and resilient aircraft in aviation.
Microsoft Flight Simulator Today we are thrilled to introduce a versatile and rugged aviation legend to the in-sim market.The An-2 is a single-engine Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) utility biplane manufactured by Ukrainian aviation manufacturer Antonov. An-2 he is a two-seater and can carry up to 12 passengers.
Over 18,000 An-2s were built in Ukraine and Poland between 1947 and 2001, many of which are still in service today, and many licensed variants are manufactured in China. The aircraft has been utilized in at least 40 known applications including crop spraying, medical transport, passenger travel, cargo, science, surveying, skydiving, firefighting and military exercises. Due to its highly forgiving nature (a hard roll in this plane is virtually impossible) and ease of conversion, the An-2 has been converted into an unmanned aerial vehicle for military use many times.
The An-2’s roots go back to the 1930s. At that time, Soviet aerospace engineer Oleg He Antonov envisioned a robust single-engine multipurpose biplane that could serve the needs of many citizens. A few years later, in 1946, the Soviet government gave Antonov an opportunity. On May 31, 1946, the Soviet Top Secret Research and Design Bureau No. 153 (OKB-153), which later became the Antonov Company, was established. Its first project was a biplane that Antonov envisioned a few years ago. After months of frenetic work (even hours during the war), the aircraft made his first flight on August 31, 1947.
A feature of the An-2 is that it can fly slowly. There is no published stall speed. With large wings and leading edge slats that automatically deploy when airspeed drops below 40 miles per hour (mph), pilots can fly in controlled flight at speeds of 32 miles per hour and even less in certain conditions. It is reported that it can be maintained.
The An-2 is 40 feet long, 8 inches long, has a standard tail, ground wheel landing gear, plus a conventional fixed undercarriage that can accommodate skis and floats. The upper wing is 59 feet 9 inches and the lower wing is 46 feet 7 inches. The 9-cylinder, 1,000-horsepower He is powered by a Shvetsov ASz-62IR supercharged radial engine that spins a 4-blade variable pitch. You can take off from just 65 feet of airfield and land with just 50 feet of ground roll. It has a minimum range of 525 miles, a service ceiling of 14,800 feet above sea level, and climbs at 880 feet per minute without payload and 500 feet per minute with payload. The An-2 cruises at 130 mph and has a top speed of 160 mph while descending.
