There is still a vintage AN-2 flying out of Oshawa Airport in Ontario, Canada. Its age is apparent, but it still has a rugged appeal to it. The modern AN-2 here is absolutely beautiful.
There was an old one with radial engine towering over Cessnas and Pipers at Buttonville as well for many years. I guess someone was lucky enough to snatch one for cheap from eastern Europe in the 90th. Maybe it's the same one as on Oshawa? Can't believe it will soon be 100 years of their mass production. And it's too bad Transport Canada doesn't approve these for commercial use. Would make a perfect bush plane.
I was at the MAKS airshow and inspected this aircraft. Very good finish, forget the old Soviet technology thinking. This is a real fine piece of technology.
@@donk2metal The chassis bogie was also optimized by Antonov, it was intended for the most severe landing tests on unprepared sites. You can improve the wheels, put pantons, skis. Of course, you can present low aerodynamics, but 77 years of the toughest operation prove the rationality of this decision. This is a kind of Ford Transit and Fiat Ducato.
Usually I like videos on this channel but please zoom out once in a while, you can’t appreciate how slow the aircraft is going if you can’t reference it against anything.
Very impressive. Do you know how you land an An-2 on an aircraft carrier? You fly in front of the carrier at minimum speed and let the carrier overtake you...
You are not far off the mark.. The org. version could according to its manual do a vertical emergency landing. Full stick back, stall vertically to the ground and the pilots could (in theory) make it out the plane in one piece thanks to its weight/ surface ratio, landing gears, and seats. Dunno if it was ever tried in real life though.
A design that looks modern and antique at the same moment. They took a lot of features that were good on the original AN-2, like the double wing, taildragger landing gear and cockpit which has a very wide view angle. All suited for short fields which you can barely call runways, it's a real bush plane. The new turboprop engine, all metal wings and fuselage should make it even better and safer (can you make something safer which already has the best safety records in aviation?) A plane to consider on some routes in Alaska as well.
Fantastic update to a highly functional classic design. This looks like an excellent backcountry family hauler. Bring the whole gang, and their gear, and the mountain bikes, and the dog...
the AN2 is a legendary all purpose plane, the first time i see one was on a short ultralight grass runway in France: it land and take of with the half runway leght like a simple ultralight skyranger with rotax 912 engine (80hp)!
Luego de 70 año de servicio en casi todo el mundo , un desarrollo de modernización total . Diseño del siglo XXI y motor turbo hélice para un biplano impresionante STOL.
How an old design can reborn in all its glory. Willing to see the numbers but I guess its going to be an amazing bush plane in fuel x load x safety factors.
It does the service of the Fieseler Fi 156 Storch, only 100 times more. This is a characteristic of biplanes - short runways. This wing design I saw for the first time on a homemade airplane model of the future a few years ago. Children know that box - shaped wings fly well - see their kites in the wind. The Russians tell us there is a lot to explore in aviation. Beautiful plane. Great doc. Beauty post.
I would agree with you more if the lower wing wasn't there to hit things such as plant life and anything else an undeveloped landing area might offer. Otherwise looks very capable.
You need to remember that there are lots of narrow strips at high altitude where you cannot get a wide wingspan aircraft in, for example Papua New Guinea highlands, so this configuration could work quite well. Hot and high in Africa and Asia as well so it has potential.
You lot know this is based on an aircraft that has been in continuous successful production for over 70 years and doing exactly that kind of extreme work all over Siberia, etc. It is based on the Antonov AN2. Plant life, bigger wheels, lol
Ver este extraordinario avión y maravilla de la ingeniería moderna rusa, deja a muchos sin palabras, por las cosas buenas que nos depara la aviación de la mano de los aeronáuticos de Rusia para el mundo civil y las infinidades de posibilidades que nos depara el TVS-2DTS, ya que sí el AN-2 nos ha dado más de 70 años de buenas razones para su confiabilidad, este nuevo avión con su misma mística y visión nos dará a la humanidad un extraordinario panorama de futuro. Espero haber podido resumir mi perspectiva y alentar con ello a los ingenieros y diseñadores de éste nuevo avión para hacerlo tan bien, como su predecesor. !.Saludos desde Venezuela.!
Yeah but how eager would you be to put 12-14 passengers behind s single radial engine, especially in subzero conditions with 50wt oil thick as peanut butter (creamy style obviously), vs a modern turbo prop like a PT6 or equivalent with 0wt synthetic oil that pours like water at 50f below zero not to mention all the valves, rocker arms, push rods, crank shaft, connecting rods, twin ignition, and the list goes on. Those big old radials are wonderful to romanticize about, but dealing with one in daily operations is an entirely different matter, just look at Buffalo Airlines out of Whitehorse and the nightmare of trying to get these engines to work at 30-40f below zero. The repeated cracked cylinders and so on. The truth is these engines were engineered in the 1930's and first manufactured in the 1940 or earlier. People didn't attempt to fly in conditions that today are routine. My brother just retired off a major carrier after 25 years and about 24,000 hours. I asked him how many times he'd had to shut down one of the PT6's or CFM56's he flew throughout his career and he said never except in the simulator! He stated he had never once had to shut a turbine engine down and flew all over the world on just two
@@scottpecora371 this is a composite an-2 modern variant and it is a turbo prop, you can differentiate the variants if you see a pointed nose its a newer turboprop the more stub noses are older models
This would be the perfect plane for rough short strips in Papua. Apparently you can't stall it. The procedure for engine failure with no available glide options (I hear) is full back stick; once below 10-15KIAS the leading edge slats pop out and you descend with minimal forward speed and a reasonable descent rate - sort of like a parachute. The main issue is that US sanctions will rule out the US turboprop and necessitate fitting a vodka burning engine with about 20% less fuel efficiency. I hope they just build it in a state not subject to sanctions.
I wonder if this bi-wing concept could be imagined with an oval shaped, mono-wing, for reducing wing span, specifically for use with very narrow landing fields. I also wonder if lift can be achieved with a dual hull shaped airframe, in which an outer hull, structured to support an inner hull where pilot and cabin are located, similar to newer buildings, which have a duel shell, with structural, pierced support in the outer and pierced shell, for the inner shell. The piercings themselves would direct air flow inwards in effect making the outer hull/inner hull a turbine itself, with airflow creating a turbine like thrust AND lift through other piercings? I know many will say it can no be done, but I would like to hear from those pilots, builders on how such a concept would actually function, just for fun!
Danke für deinen Kommentar! Ja, diese An-2 hat ein sehr schönes Design. Neben dieser Version gibt es noch eine Ausführung als reiner Schulterdecker mit Trapezflügel aus kohlenstofffaserverstärktem Kunststoff. Die flog zwar auch auf der MAKS, habe die aber nur fotografiert. Schöne Grüße nach Usedom!
Great way to modernize an old concept. The idea to use winglet as struts, connecting both wings is awesome. The look of the inline-engine is something you'll have to get used to but i do not doubt a turbo-prop is a useful upgrade to this legendary bird !
Nice plane for many smaller airfields. If the plane is like its parent AN-2 then it should carry 10-12 passengers or 1.5-2 tons of cargo. And it should be possible to use a ski landing gear for winter, it is important here in Russia.
Dmity says about Anotonov-2 As for TVS2 DT it carries up to 3.5 tons on 4500 km with speed up to 350 km/h To participate on MAKS it took-off from Novosibirsk and had non-stop flight to Moskow
I have seen a number of AN2 Cubs. I would never have referred to them as a pretty airplane. But I admired their capability and usefulness of their design. A good stout plane. This is the 1st attractive one I have seen.
sehr schönes flugzeug. beste maschine fuer fallschirmspringer. nun auch sehr ökonomisch. mit vorfluegeln an der oberen und unteren tragfläche. nun kann die anna auch mit dem 5- blatt propeller bremsen. mit turbine,also kein benzin mehr. genial das teil. leider bekommen wir es in deutschland nicht zugelassen, wegen der russlandphobie. leider leider. und die russen haben die anna noch weiter entwickelt. anderes fahrwerk, neue pilotenkanzel. digitale instrumente usw. genial. respekt. ich liebe das flugzeug
Этот чужеземный самолёт с чужеземным двигателем, с надписями на чужеземном языке, напоминает наш самолёт Ан-2, который выпускался в 40-х годах прошлого века
Awesome upgrade to a reliable airframe. Not the luxury plane we would buy in the west, the AN2 was the short route king of Soviet aviation. In fact, one article I recently read described how the antique version of the airframe could overwhelm South Korean defensive in a simple but super effective assault on SK ground forces by NK. This bird is capable of so much more, and I'd love to be able to buy one!
Huh. I never thought of using a blended winglet to strut together two wings. Guess the basic An-2 design will be in service for over a century, since they keep making new versions!
It's always interesting to see what aircraft have potential to achieve that. Ones that come to mind: Antonov AN-2, Boeing B-52, Douglas DC-3, Tupolev Tu-95, and maybe Boeing 737 if they can get the MAX sorted out. All except the 737, the one I'm least sure of, are in unique niches that would be difficult to replace, aren't large enough niches to justify development of a more modern clean-sheet design, and all were pretty tough from the outset. I guess the Cessna 172 comes to mind, but that's a bit different as it's a private rather than commercial/military aircraft.
Except for FAA. Good luck getting licensed for commercial operation. FAA even prohibited store owner from transporting supplies to his own store in his own AN-2, when complaints were lodged. Gov't does as it pleases.
A good redesign of a classic historic airplane. Holy F! The wind at that airshow with respect to the microphone! Perhaps normal in Russia, certainly on the American Great Plains. Anyhow, a very durable and highly adaptable aircraft. Hope the biplane friction doesn't terribly impede its marketability vs the deHavilland/Viking Air DHC-3 (the Viking Air model of this aircraft to debut once enough of the older single engine deHavilland models become un-airworthy...which will be...uh... I dunno when that will ever happen).
Its actually not that good or better said, its good but not so much for russian conditions. Its composite parts showed up problematic in conditions of russian winter and even bigger problem its their repairs in conditions of russian Siberia or far east. Also there are issues with engine (its american engine and thats big problem for Russia). UZGA abandoned next development of An-2MC and now they are testing LMS-901. They should have flying prototype this year. Its smaller than An-2, just for 9 passengers, max speed up to 300 km/h, range 3000 km. Important is that its much simpler airplane than An-2MS, with easily repairable dural fuselage, russian engine etc. All in all, it should be low cost and much better designed for harsh conditions of russian field airports on Siberia or eastern Russia. Here are some pics: bmpd.livejournal.com/4295195.html
The Yanks have turboed their old DC3s to become brand new modern aircraft The Russkies have done an equally remarkable job with their old workhorse. Well done!😋
Luigi Pacetti Agreed, nice to see some innovation that's actually real, and not just a conceptual design... might only be a small biplane, but proves there is still some advantages for that design, still in 2018
What a graceful bird! What people associate with airplanes is that they are expensive, delicate, require long runways, can't carry much, and cost a lot to fly, but they are fast. But they can also be none of these things - sacrifice speed and they become a cheap, rugged, go-anywhere, high-capacity workhorses.
Schon krass, dass die Karriere des Fliegers schon so lange geht. Ich hab mal mit einem AN2 Besitzer/Piloten gesprochen, der meinte wenn das Triebwerk ausfällt steht im Handbuch "Knüppel an den Bauch und warten bis der Wald kommt". Die Maschine ist unglaublich gutmütig, kippt beim Strömungsabriss nicht seitlich ab.
Danke für deinen Kommentar! Ja, die Geschichte der An-2 ist schon sehr beeindruckend, wenn man bedenkt das der Urahn bereits 1947 das erste mal flog, und seitdem über 18-tausend Maschinen gebaut worden sind.

SIMPLY THE BEST AT THIS,,,, AND THAT HUGE PAYLOAD TOO. BEAUTIFUL.

For better performance it needs a retractable landing gears.

@@AceMcMoron there is a video on the tube of one stalling after takeoff
@@AceMcMoron The slats and giant wing surface are supposed to allow it to descend like a parachute and at about the same rate of descent.

AN-2 redux, new powerplant, beautiful design!
Loved New Antonov An-2MC
The bottom wings folding upward into support struts is a great idea!
What a great little bush plane. Brilliant idea.
Landing speed 50km/h. Amazing!
31MPH that’s real nice and slow.
I heard it lands at 35MPH [50KPH] and is a tried and true STOL with unique wings and control surfaces.
Thrown in 8,000 pounds, gross it out and install bush tires.
Then we can see how it really flies.
@@hotrodray6802 Yeah, but even if the take-off speed doubles, that is still pretty slow - and pretty short too if it has good acceleration.
Brilliant flying! Innovative updates to an old design. All sky diving clubs should love this aircraft?
Had a chance to fly an AN2 several years ago they are great planes. Would love to fly this model.
i have been an AN-2 passenger several years ago in my polar business trip)

This thing isn't even trying to fly, it just does. Beautiful. Although I'd still love to see it with a giant radial engine.
It's just not the same without that huge radial piston engine up front...
Yeah but how eager would you be to put 12-14 passengers behind s single radial engine, especially in subzero conditions with 50wt oil thick as peanut butter (creamy style obviously), vs a modern turbo prop like a PT6 or equivalent with 0wt synthetic oil that pours like water at 50f below zero not to mention all the valves, rocker arms, push rods, crank shaft, connecting rods, twin ignition, and the list goes on.

Blending the tips into one reduces the drag from wing tips back to one pair, but keeping the lift two wings affords! Quite sharp
An aerodynamic WONDER....!
Love this plane - very impressive !
What I need is a hangar with a heated floor and room for one of these beauties, plus a TBM 930 to keep it company.
Wow that a very modern an 2 model
It's amazing how slow this new AN-2 can fly.
it was somewhat obvious that some day they would modernise the An2, there was simply to much potential in it not to.

Hope the biplane friction doesn't terribly impede its marketability vs the deHavilland/Viking Air DHC-3 (the Viking Air model of this aircraft to debut once enough of the older single engine deHavilland models become un-airworthy...which will be...uh... I dunno when that will ever happen).
Its actually not that good or better said, its good but not so much for russian conditions. Its composite parts showed up problematic in conditions of russian winter and even bigger problem its their repairs in conditions of russian Siberia or far east. Also there are issues with engine (its american engine and thats big problem for Russia). UZGA abandoned next development of An-2MC and now they are testing LMS-901. They should have flying prototype this year. Its smaller than An-2, just for 9 passengers, max speed up to 300 km/h, range 3000 km. Important is that its much simpler airplane than An-2MS, with easily repairable dural fuselage, russian engine etc. All in all, it should be low cost and much better designed for harsh conditions of russian field airports on Siberia or eastern Russia.

Uau, the legend still alive. Amazing low speed Flight.
Красавец самолёт.
The An-2 doesn't land... it 'floats to the ground', hahaha!
Haha, yes. She floats, and floats, and floats....;-))
Wonderful aircraft :)
Indeed. :)
I am blown away with this idea! Great plane! They took perfect plane and improved it even more...
Airguardian ... They fill the wings with helium, don't you know. lol
Russians are MASTERS of the air .
Beautiful .
Most innovative design.
The Yanks have turboed their old DC3s to become brand new modern aircraft
The Russkies have done an equally remarkable job with their old workhorse. Well done!😋
Not to mention the neat job on the wings!

Agreed, nice to see some innovation that's actually real, and not just a conceptual design... might only be a small biplane, but proves there is still some advantages for that design, still in 2018
nope.. the tail dragger makes it worthless
ahaha where do you see a modern dc3... ahahaha maybe in argentina
love it very unique typical of russian designers always different bobby rout new zealand

Acrobatic Cripple, When did it become Ukrainian?

I like the idea :)
Beautiful bird!
The queue for the renovation of An-14 "Bee" ("Clod"). Wonderful plane. Its quite possible to create an An-14 biplane.
Very nice & elegant the new An 2👍
j' Aime de bon vieil Antonov An-2 classique! Mais celui-la il est vraiment étonnant dans son genre, je le trouve superbe!!!
What a graceful bird! What people associate with airplanes is that they are expensive, delicate, require long runways, can't carry much, and cost a lot to fly, but they are fast. But they can also be none of these things - sacrifice speed and they become a cheap, rugged, go-anywhere, high-capacity workhorses.
Schon krass, dass die Karriere des Fliegers schon so lange geht. Ich hab mal mit einem AN2 Besitzer/Piloten gesprochen, der meinte wenn das Triebwerk ausfällt steht im Handbuch "Knüppel an den Bauch und warten bis der Wald kommt". Die Maschine ist unglaublich gutmütig, kippt beim Strömungsabriss nicht seitlich ab.
Danke für deinen Kommentar! Ja, die Geschichte der An-2 ist schon sehr beeindruckend, wenn man bedenkt das der Urahn bereits 1947 das erste mal flog, und seitdem über 18-tausend Maschinen gebaut worden sind.
