AN-72 Cargo Airplane
The An-72 jet plane is equipped with two D-36 jet engines mounted
above the wing's leading edge with the jet exhausts blowing over
titanium panels on the upper surface which creates a COANDA effect
over the wing and flaps to direct the jet thrust downwards for STOL
operations - a simple but effective example of thrust vectoring.
The canceled Boeing YC-14 STOL transport airplane employed a similar
system of overwing blowing.
The rear fuselage of the airplane has a hinged loading ramp with
a rear fairing that slides backwards and up to clear the opening.
Up to 7.5 tons can be airdropped whilst there are folding side seats
for 52 passengers.
he An-72 has extremely good short field capabilities. Like many
other Russian-built aircrafts, this jet plane was designed to operate
on rugged airfields. Its powerful undercarriage can perfectly well
deal with sand, grass or other unpaved surfaces.
