An-70 at Le Bourget
Before the start of the air show in Le Bourget for the first time, I was inside the AN-70, which represents Ukraine.
An-70 - mid-range trucks (operational-tactical military transport) aircraft of a new generation developed by ASTC "Antonov».
The aircraft is intended to replace morally and technically obsolete An-12. It made its first flight in December 1994.

Key performance characteristics of AN-70:
2.
3. In 2010-2012 the plane was a significant upgrade, completely replaced avionics, engine control system, the design propfans (to reduce noise), reduced the number of crew members and four (including loadmaster'a).
4. Fly is only a single prototype (s / n 770102), a record which emergency landing in Omsk (the main reason - nezaflyugirovavshiysya propeller after engine failure on take-off and the impossibility of the continuation of the take-off) more than 10 years ago with the destruction of power elements of fuselage and flight personnel, followed by reduction to the state of the same, in Omsk.
5. The basic idea of the concept of the An-70 were subsequently embodied in the construction of the A400M.
6. In the process of testing the stall speed is achieved horizontal flight - only 95..97 km / h;
7. For the first time in the history of Soviet aircraft on-board electronics used universal bus multiplex data exchange (ICEE), which will significantly reduce the overall length of electrical cable.
8. An-70 - the first Soviet military-technical cooperation with CRT LEDs instead of traditional electromechanical (in the modernization of the CRT have been replaced by modern LCD) and a mini-wire helm with SS.
9.
10. The problem of vehicle types (delivery of 20 tons of cargo on 3,000 km) AN-70 can be solved with unpaved runways as short as 600-800 m, which is generally not available to any of the existing transport aircraft. According to calculations, the AN-70 can be based on the mountain airfields located at an altitude of 3000 meters above sea level.
11. In comparison with the analogous aircraft AN-70 can be dropped paratroopers and with less twice a spread, and his crew could result in the aircraft touchdown point calculated with high accuracy.
12. Four of the D-27 coaxial propfans CB-27 provide a high cruising speed and fuel savings of 20-30% compared to current aircraft with turbojet engines.
13.
14.
15. amphibious transport equipment provides for self-loading and unloading of goods and a wide range of aircraft landing. The complex includes four loading equipment hoist and two on-board electric winch. On request, the aircraft can be equipped with easily removable second deck or roller conveyor equipment to automate operations with containers.
16. On-board monitoring and diagnostic tools make it possible to operate the aircraft independently on unequipped airfields without the use of any special ground equipment.
17. Tynts
18. Winch
19.
20. Ramp with demonstration parachute for landing.
21. On both sides of the symmetrical side door (Hit).
22. Equipment on a small segment of the second floor. Such a floor can make the entire length of the aircraft.
23. Cab
24. By the way, thanks to the commander of AmBisome for the tour.
25. Mini helm
26.
27. Control handle by turning the front landing gear.
28. Place the navigator. Oh, anywhere would be such big windows ...
29.
30. Roll-out before the flight, all lift up their heads up.
31.
32.
33. Beautiful!
