Le Antonov An-22 "Antei" (in russo: Ан-22 Антей, An-22 Antej; Anteo inglese) (nome in codice NATO "Cock") è un aereo da trasporto militare pesante progettato dall'Antonov Design Bureau in Unione Sovietica. Alimentato da quattro motori turboelica ciascuno che guida una coppia di eliche controrotanti, il progetto è stato il primo aereo da trasporto wide-body e rimane il più grande aereo turboelica del mondo fino ad oggi. L'An-22 apparve per la prima volta pubblicamente al di fuori dell'Unione Sovietica al Paris Air Show del 1965. Successivamente, il modello ha visto un ampio uso nei principali ponti aerei militari e umanitari per l'Unione Sovietica ed è ancora in servizio con l'aeronautica russa.

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.
