Operational Context

Antonov An-140 — regional turboprop airliner

The An-140 first flew in 1997 and entered service in 2002. It features a high-wing design suited to austere airfields. The aircraft was developed in cooperation with multiple production partners.

Two turboprop engines producing approximately 2,500 shaft horsepower each power the aircraft. Cruise speed approaches 300 knots (556 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight exceeds 46,000 pounds (20,865 kg), with seating around 50 passengers.

The An-140 has operated in both civilian and military transport roles. Production volumes remained limited, but the aircraft reflects continued regional turboprop development in Eastern Europe.
