I worked on an-2 and an-3t, in Russian flight schools this type was primary during a long time, on initial training. I have flown 1000 flight hours on this plane.
*Interestingly North Korean Special Operations Force still operated AN-2 for paratroopers and infliration flight unto South Korean. It's slow speed, fabric covering plus ability to cutting out the engine and gliding quietly during flight making its almost undetectable by South Korean radar. In turn, South Korean also brought a number of Chinese and Poland version of AN-2 for the same purposes.*
Best plane in the world! Good old AN-2. Too bad they don't make them any more. I wish I could afford to buy one and fly it around on weekends just for fun.
I saw one of these up close at an aeroclub show. The propeller looks ridiculously tiny, compared to the huge boxy fuselage. It gave me an impression that due to laws of physics, it could not possibly take off. But it did take off. With this kind of peculiar, graceful elegance.
I will never forget the story of an AN-2 that I heard about in the 1980's (before the fall of the Berlin wall). An East German aircraft mechanic was tired of living in those political conditions and he decided to take his entire family of 14 (adults and kids) and sneak them into West Germany. He chose an AN-2...one he had never flown before...he had never flown any plane before...because he wasn't a trained pilot. Somehow his familiarity with aircraft systems, and the forgiving and gentle nature of the AN-2 allowed him to take off, fly, and land with safety. What a brave man (and family), and what a great airplane.
АН2 был сделан в 1947 году. В серию пошёл в 1949 году. Это многоцелевой самолёт короткого взлёта и посадки, предназначенный для использования в условиях грунтовых аэродромов. Собранный с применением частей боевых самолётов.
Chyba jedyny samolot na świecie któremu braknie paliwa lub zepsuje się silnik i wyląduję bez żadnego problemu. Rosjanie wybudowali całkiem fajną maszynę. Gdybym miał pieniądze to bym sobie kupił takiego, bo nie martwiłbym się że się rozbiję.👍👍👍👍

Hey guys it should come as no surprise because of the great track record and cough condition capability of the AN2 that somebody was going to convert it from the 1000 HP radial to a turbine power! These days it seems that anything can be made into a turbine engine, lengthen the nose A LOT get get you CG back and I really cant think of a better conversion. Looked very interesting on the AN2
thats because many ww2 and also later were using aircraft engines. The sound of starter is similar for all engines with huge displacement , you have to save energy in gyro for being able to turn the crankshaft. Direct operational starter wouldnt have enough torque.
Correct. Inertial starter. Electric motor spins up a flywheel to speed, and then it is clutched to the engine to release its momentum. The carried momentum of the flywheel is greater than the electric motor alone. Drawback? If the engine does not light off, a second spin-up is needed for a second attempt. Some of these inertial starters have a hand-crank backup to spool up the flywheel.
Do you like these ANTONOV airplanes ?
Cars and Engines I was flying with the first Antonov in your Video in Luxemburg,i love this old plane👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Best antonov you can see by morloc motors
No!
Love them

That's a myth. The An-2 shows up on radar just fine.
The An-2 is not made out of wood and fabric. Sure it has fabric but it's a HUGE metal slow moving target
I love how the exhaust fumes nicely go into the cockpit in startup
Relaxes the pilot :P
Hahaha, that is à great one 🤣🤣🤣
Legend 👍
It doesn't have to, I've seen these with a long exhaust pipe going down the side.

We have one of these at the airport where I live and you can always tell when it’s in the air
Most times, it’s pretty easy to tell whether a planes in the air or not😜
Oh I also live somewhere where there is an antonov an2. Papa bits wow we are same
@@Emotionaldamage4life cheers man
They have the same starter as the Millennium Falcon.
And the have the same speed too!

@@Nik-Nik33. ну хотя бы колеса - они от ИЛ-2
Hab ich richtig gelesen das die An2 bei 48kmh schon voll kontrollierbar fliegt? Da kann man bei kräftigem Gegenwind ja quasi senkrecht starten🤔
Ja
Кто на нем летал, то не забудет этот звук.
У меня даже в телефоне на звонке стоит запуск.
Епстественно,звук Ан-2,Ан-24 нельзя забыть.
Something about radial engines just sound cool.
It's where large v-twin motorcycles get their sound. Just imagine a Harley Davidson engine but made in a full circle
Ahhhhhhhhh ....there it izzz....my radial fix for day !
I grew up with these planes. We were standing behind them when the pilot was warming up the engine doing the smooth criminal.

Красивый самолёт! Вертолёт в 2-3 раза дороже в эксплуатации! Берет 1,5 тонны, может летать по 8 часов на одной заправке! Заправка 1200 литров!
Восемь не потянет , ну максимум семь часов.

0:49 I already flew with that Antonov!
Done some skydives out of one of these, airspeed so slow it’s like doing a BASE jump.
Yep I call the an2 when I first saw it when I looked up at it while skydiving like you did and it’s basically a loud disregarding slug
С детства на нем летал,так и не могу на нем нормально летать полощит всю дорогу 😁
Этот самолет Ан2 летает досихпор.Якутия.Будет летать еще долго,пока не отработает полный ресурс.
Can we have this thing in MS Flightsim 2020 :)
Вся страна, как Ан-2! ☝️🤓

Amazing content! I don't understand why so little subs 😕
1:23 there is a F1 engine Thats used to start this beast
An2 *Starts engine*
*2 Polar bears have left the tchat*
That is one big assed beautiful bird!!! Any clue what the fuel burn rate in normal flight would be, I know a 1000 hp engine doesnt run for free!
180 liters per hour
Like the Boeing B-17 engines
Parecem um FNM! Slk
I love the videos and channel
I feel confused I see a plane but hear a tank

have you see the Mickael Manousakis's plane an AN2 with this plane he has go out in Deuth and go on in USA
Wasn't this the largest bi-plane ever built?
Yep (biplane with one engine to be precise)
the smoke is a crime against the environment🤣
Ehh, it's only burning off oil accumulated in the bottom cylinders. As all radials do. Once it's warmed up the exhaust will be clean.
An-2 start up sounds like the Millennium Falcon.
And no mention or info on engine?
Curtiss Wright R-1820, the Polish version is the ASz-62 and the Russian version is the Shvetsov ASh-62.
