АN-38

The AN-38 was developed on the basis of the AN-28 short take-off and landing airplane, and it differs from the latter in extended fuselage, equipment installed and new engines. The airplane is designed to carry passengers, mail and cargoes on local airlines and can be made in the following versions: ambulance, aerial survey, geophysical survey, forest patrol, fish survey, administrative, as well as cargo version for containerized cargo transportation. The AN-38-100 is designed to carry 27 passengers at a maximum speed of 405 km/h over a distance of 900 km. Maximum carrying capacity: 2500 kg. The airplane can be operated in a wide range of temperatures: from -50ºС to + 45°С at small aerodromes including unpaved, ice- and snow-covered airfields. Folding passenger seats and a baggage hold are attached to the fuselage sides when folded. The tail door and airborne cargo handling device allow quick in-service passenger-to-cargo airplane conversion.
