AN-10

PASSENGER TRANSPORT AIRPLANE

First flight 1957

The АN-10 is the first domestic passenger turboprop airplane for transportation of 100 passengers. On the 7th of March 1957, the crew headed by test pilot Yakov Vernikov performed the first flight of the AN-10 UKRAINA airplane. High takeoff and landing performance and capability to be operated on unpaved runways made it possible to operate the airplane on routes where other airplanes of such category could not be operated. In the 1960s, the АN-10 was one of the main passenger airplanes operated on Aeroflot airlines.
