Antonov ASTC AN-225

This unique super heavy lifter was designed and constructed in 1984/1988 mainly to perform the following missions: transportation of cargoes inside the cabin; transportation of oversized cargoes mounted outside the fuselage; carrier functions (first stage) for various aerospace systems. The aircraft has a capacious cargo cabin that allows to transport a variety of cargoes weighing up to 250 tons. For instance, it is possible to arrange in the cargo compartment either sixteen standard aeronautical containers of UAK type each holding 10 tons, or eighty cars, or any asingle-piece cargoes weighing to 200 tons (turbines, generators, dumpers - Belaz, Kamatsu, Euclid, etc.). The cargo cabin is 43 m long, 6.4 m wide and 4.4 m high. Pressurised, it allows to carry any sort of freight inside.

An74-300

Designed by O.K. Antonov ASTC as a medium-haul transport aircraft which is widely used in air cargo and passenger services.
The An74 and earlier An72 are particulary suited for Arctic operations, surveying, surveillance, SAR missions, coast guarding and for maritime patrol. The aircraft features superior airfield performance and long patrol times. Numerous passenger, cargo, patrol, surveillance, sensing and reconnaissance versions have been developed.
This aircraft can operate to and from austere, unpaved and unimproved airstrips.
The latest version, An74-300, has the wings mounted on conventional under-wing pylons and achieves greater fuel efficiency and longer range for more conventional operations while losing some of its short field performance characteristics as a consequence.

At present the air cargo industry is experiencing a boom cycle evidenced by air cargo traffic which has exceeded the passenger traffic growth rate almost twofold for the last decade. According to IATA, the Boeing Company and Airbus Industrie forecasts, air freight RTKs will triple by 2015. Capabilities inherent in the An-124-100 have offered quite new kinds of services since its entry into service. These capabilites have proved cost-effective for customers and manufacturers of various equipment. Antonov Airlines is the commercial airline arm of O.K.Antonov Aeronautical Scientific & Technical Complex (ASTC) and carries out worldwide cargo operations competing with other major airlines of the world. Our aircraft have carried hundreds of thousand tonnes including outsized and heavy cargoes which could not be carried by other aircraft. IN addition, charityflights have been performed under the auspices of the Ukrainian government charity programs and numerous different humanitarian relief flights.
