Antonov An-2 the slow but steady monster of the skies.
The largest bi-plane ever made.
From Wikipedia.
a Soviet mass-produced single-engine biplane utility/agricultural aircraft designed and manufactured by the Antonov Design Bureau beginning in 1946
This monster of the air is quite something to behold as it lumbers along at speeds so slow that most other planes would stall.
@ngos it is a good thing this was not a plane that was used for military during WWII. A P-51 Mustang would have made mince meat of this baby in no time........by the way the USSR was an ally so I did not mean that we would have shot this plane out of the sky.
Is anyone else reminded of the book "Illusions" by Bach, whenever they see a bi-plane?
never read it
You should, its really not long. And its a sort of a LSD trip of a book, mind expanding
nice information and thank you very much for share this post.
Well this plane made me remember the WW2 dog fighter planes.... they were similar beasts as is this one.... and its famn slow speed is another quality... which most plane dont have .... good one
