General Characteristics
The Antonov An-22 Antei (Antaeus) was the world’s first wide-body aircraft and, for a time, the largest aircraft in the world until the introduction of the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy. Designed by the Antonov Design Bureau in the 1960s, it was the Soviet Union’s primary heavy strategic airlifter, capable of transporting main battle tanks, missile launchers, and oversized military equipment. The aircraft is distinguished as the largest turboprop-powered aircraft ever built, featuring massive contra-rotating propellers for exceptional short-field performance and the ability to operate from unpaved airstrips.
