Слайд 2

The Antonov An-2 first flew in 1947, as the Soviet Union

was rebuilding after the tumult of World War II

Слайд 3

More than 19,000 were made in the Soviet Union and then

Poland until 1991, and thousands more under licence in China – occasionally aircraft continue to be built there.

Слайд 4

The An-2’s archaic design is a means to an end; the

two sets of wings in its biplane design generate a lot of lift – which means it can take off in a very short distance, as you can see below.

Слайд 5

A pilot can still fly the plane under full control at

around 25mph (40km/h).

Слайд 6

The key to the plane’s ability to hover – and even

fly backwards in the right conditions – lie in the ‘control surfaces’ on the wings

Слайд 7

Leary describes the An-2 as a joy to fly, but adds

that it demands a lot of attention.

Слайд 8

“The An-2 only kills you if you do something stupid in

it,”
