General Characteristics (M28-05 Skytruck)

The PZL M28 Skytruck is a high-wing, twin-turboprop aircraft manufactured in Poland by PZL Mielec. Developed from the license-built Antonov An-28, the M28 is a “westernized” version known for its rugged construction, powerful engines, and exceptional Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) capability, allowing it to operate reliably from unprepared runways, including grass, dirt, and high-altitude fields.
