The Antonov An-24 ( NATO code name : Coke ) is a short-haul passenger and cargo aircraft of Soviet origin. Designed as a typical Antonov shoulder- wing aircraft and powered by two turboprop engines , it is primarily used in civil aviation. Over 1300 aircraft of this type were built.
history
The An-24 was created in response to a request from Aeroflot in 1957 for a 32-seat passenger aircraft that could operate on poorly paved small airports under changing weather conditions. It was supposed to replace the Lisunov Li-2 , Ilyushin Il-12 and Il-14 of the Soviet airline. The OKB Antonov was awarded the development contract in December 1957 and designed a high-wing monoplane , originally created by four piston engines to be powered with 700 hp (515 kW). In the end, the decision was made to use two Ivchenko AI-24 turboprop engines . The first flight with the first prototype ( aircraft registration number СССР – 1959) was on October 20, 1959 in Kiev with J. Kurlin and GI Lisenko. The second prototype (СССР – 1959) with a modified bow, enlarged vertical tail unit and longer engine nacelles flew a year later. After the construction of three pre-series aircraft, series production of the aircraft began in early 1962 with two Ivchenko AI-24A and four-blade AW-72 propellers. The An-24 was put into service with Aeroflot as a cargo aircraft in July 1962 and on December 1, 1963 on the Kiev – Kherson route as a 44-seat passenger aircraft with eight windows on each side of the cabin. Around a third of all passenger movements in the Soviet Union were later handled with An-24. Over time, a number of successful aircraft were built around the base model, for example the An-24RW with an additional Tumanski RU-19A-300 jet engine instead of the TG-16 starter generator in the right engine pod, the cargo version An-24T and that An-24P fire-fighting aircraft . The An-24 continued to be produced in the People's Republic of China as the Xian Y-7 .
The military transport variant An-26 , the aerial aircraft An- 30 and the transport aircraft An-32 were derived from the An-24 . The civil successor is the An-140 .
