De Antonov Een-22 "Antei" (Russisch: Ан-22 Антей, An-22 Antej; English Antaeus) (NAVO-meldnaam "Cock") is een zwaar militair transportvliegtuig ontworpen door het Antonov Design Bureau in de Sovjet-Unie. Aangedreven door vier turbopropmotoren die elk een paar contra-roterende propellers aandrijven, was het ontwerp het eerste wide-body transportvliegtuig en blijft het 's werelds grootste turboprop-aangedreven vliegtuig tot nu toe. De An-22 verscheen voor het eerst publiekelijk buiten de Sovjet-Unie op de Paris Air Show van 1965. Daarna werd het model uitgebreid gebruikt in grote militaire en humanitaire luchtliften voor de Sovjet-Unie en is het nog steeds in dienst bij de Russische luchtmacht.

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.
