Antonov An-3 Totally Explained

Everything about The Antonov An-3 totally explained

The Antonov An-3 is a Soviet/Ukrainian agricultural aircraft. It is essentially a turboprop-powered development of the An-2 designed to upgrade or replace it. The first example flew as early as May 13 1980, but because of a lack of official interest in the project, work proceeded very slowly - flight testing wasn't complete until 1991. It is one of the few turbine powered biplane designs to date.
   The project was revitalised in the late 1990s when it was taken over by Polyot State Aerospace Enterprise, and a marketing campaign began in earnest in 2000, although sales have been limited. It is available in two forms, the basic agricultural aircraft (An-3SKh - "Selsko-Khosiajstwenni", Agricultural) and a civil transport version (An-3T) able to carry 12 passengers or 1,800 kg (4,000 lb) of cargo.
   Although it's designated An-3, this number isn't assigned sequentially. Antonov assigned it to the plane because it was meant to replace the An-2.
   Another attempt to replace the An-2 on Soviet farms was made in 1970s with the WSK-Mielec M-15 Belphegor, but it failed.
