Operational Context
Antonov An-148 — regional jet airliner
The An-148 first flew in 2004 and entered service in 2009. It features a high wing and twin-engine configuration optimized for regional networks. The design allows operations from semi-prepared runways.
Two Ivchenko-Progress turbofan engines producing approximately 15,600 pounds of thrust (69 kN) each power the aircraft. Cruise speed approaches Mach 0.80. Maximum takeoff weight exceeds 85,000 pounds (38,556 kg), with range near 2,400 nautical miles (4,445 km).
The An-148 has been operated by regional carriers and government agencies. Production faced interruptions, but the aircraft remains part of modern Ukrainian and Russian aviation history.
