Antonov An-2
The Antonov An-2 is a large single-engine biplane developed as a rugged agricultural and light transport aircraft. Its high-lift wing, low-pressure landing-gear tires, and simple field operation allow it to use short, unprepared landing areas; skis and floats support specialized variants. Produced in the Soviet Union, Poland, and China, the An-2 family has served regional passenger, cargo, agricultural, polar, research, and utility roles in more than seventy countries.
