The An-2 is one of the largest single-engine biplanes ever produced. It was particularly prized for its versatility and extraordinary slow-flight, short takeoff, and landing capabilities. In fact, the An-2 has no published stall speed, and pilots have been known to fly the plane under full control at 30 mph. This combined with its ability to handle extreme weather conditions and rough, makeshift runways made it an ideal workforce in undeveloped and remote operational environments.
In addition to its original factory in Novosibirsk in the former Soviet Union, the plane has seen production runs in the Ukraine, Poland, and China. It is equipped with a single 1,000-horsepower 9-cylinder Shvetsov ASh-62 radial engine. It has been produced in dozens of variants that span civil, military, and scientific uses.
