The Antonov An-2 is a single-engine, multi-purpose biplane designed by the Antonov design bureau. It made its maiden flight on August 31, 1947 and over 18,000 were produced in the USSR, Poland, China and Colombia. Claiming the title of the largest single-engine biplane in the world, this robust, economical and easy-to-maintain aircraft has flown in almost every sky on the planet and in a wide variety of roles: transporting passengers, cargo or agricultural work, transporting parachutists, medical transport, fire-fighting, seaplanes, photography, meteorological exploration...
The prototype, powered by a 760 hp ASh-21 engine, made its first flight on 31 August 1947. It was built under its final name by Antonov, which produced more than 5,000 examples between 1948 and 1960, then by Mielec, in Poland, which delivered its five thousandth example to the USSR on 3 February 1973. Production stopped at the beginning of 1975, when the Mielec factory had produced more than 6,500 Antonov 2s, bringing the total to nearly 12,000 An 2s built. This was despite the 200 litres/hour of petrol and the 10 to 12 litres of oil consumed by its Chvetsov ASh-62 engine... It should be noted that several Nato forces still use them, notably those that were part of the Warsaw Pact during the Cold War.
The version of the An-2R with the ASz-61IR engine and AW-2 propeller - described in this manual - is a metal-framed biplane designed for agricultural operations including seeding, fertilisation and pest control using liquid and powdered chemicals. After removing the agricultural equipment, the aircraft can be used to transport cargo, passengers or paratroopers, or to install medical equipment for medical evacuations.
The An-2R differs from the standard An-2T only in minor details. In order to increase the life of the aircraft, the fuselage and wings are painted with varnishes resistant to the chemicals used in agricultural operations. The entrance door and frames #5 and #15 are sealed.
This flight manual was produced by the Polish company Mielec.
