Operational Context

Antonov An-74 — short takeoff and landing transport aircraft

The An-74 first flew in 1983 and entered service in 1986. It features a high wing with engines mounted above to improve short-field performance. The aircraft was optimized for operations in harsh climates.

Two turbofan engines producing approximately 14,000 pounds of thrust (62 kN) each power the aircraft. Cruise speed approaches 400 knots (741 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight exceeds 70,000 pounds (31,752 kg).

The An-74 has been used for cargo, passenger, and special mission roles. Its rugged design supports operations from unprepared airfields. Production has continued in limited numbers.
