Toko 103 Antonov An-72P

The Antonov AN-72 is a twin-engine, high-wing, short take-off and landing transport aircraft. The prototype flight took place in 1977. Serial production lasted from 1980 to 1993 and led to the creation of 200 aircraft of this type. In the AN-72, the exhaust gas streams from the highly built-up engines were directed after the titanium covering of the wings onto the slotted flaps, which resulted in an increase in the lift force. Serial copies in relation to the prototype have increased dimensions and range. The development version of the An-72 is the An-74 aircraft. The AN-72P is a machine designed for patrolling sea areas.
