*PLEASE READ BEFORE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE MISSING LIFT-OFF:* The An-70 has lifted off far earlier than any other plane I've seen there before or since and from where I was shooting, that was behind a hangar, so had I not cut out this part, all you'd have seen was a grey, featureless building.

This ANTONOV company deserves all the awards of transport aviation! I had never seen so many beautiful freighters, imposing as the Antonov aircraft! Both the oldest and this ninth wonder that turns out to be the AN 225. I'm in love with this An-70 and I loved the blue propellers..my favorite color !!
Stanley, I was lucky enough to go up in an An2 for a pesticide flight in Hungary, even got a little stick time as the pilot is a relative.. surprisingly light on the controls as long as your speed is in check, thing felt solid as a bridge, an performed it's task effortlessly.. even with fully loaded hoppers, no change in handling, pilot simply trimmed it out a bit, but the weight was mostly in the wing box, years of safe carefree operation.. maintenance is a cinch as long as you stay on top, but a very simple rugged well designed bird..
The glory of "Antonov" remained in the past - in the USSR. During 30 years of independence of Ukraine "Antonov" has built one single transport aircraft An-178, which exists in a single copy. By the way, the propellers of the An-70 aircraft, which you liked so much, were made in Russia.
AERO Susanin Hahahaha hahahaha 😂😂 the Ukrainians should give thanks 🙏 to the nazis/terrorists that took over the country back in 2014, the once great Ukraine aircraft manufacturer industry is gone for good 😊 RIP Antonov planes ✈️, Cheers 🍻
I've always had a soft spot for the An-70. I hope Antonov can finally find a launch customer for this and start mass producing this. This plane has so much potential.
Zero chance for this. Plane has some crucial russian parts and that makes its maintenance and mass production literally impossible. Project is in the stage of deep modernization currently and will be back with new name an77.
Well Antonov working hard to replace all russian parts of this plane for other...it's as other planes as well...so there's will be time where's antonovs planes will not contain russian parts no more...just give them some time to do so...and yes it's very difficult to replace them...but I'm sure they managed
A beautiful and truly remarkable aircraft that should continue development and production. Thanks for posting this excellent video. As a result, I followed up on it's history.
Same here! I know the concept has its disadvantages, but I've been fascinated by it ever since I first found out about planes with this feature as a child!
Imagine how it sounds at cruise altitude?! I know an A400M can be loud up to 37,000ft, and a TU-95 CLEARLY NOISY even up to 45,000ft!! I heard that the AN-70 loudness when cruise altitude is between an A400M and TU-95, and should sound even more interesting when at cruise altitude as well!!! Nice EXTREME RARE SHOT AND EPIC UNIQUE AUDIO, MATE!!
Being from upstate ny near Buffalo, I distinctively remember hearing this sound as a kid. We'd see Canada Chinooks flying above us into Toronto. Always made me wonder what it was nearly 30 years later. Thanks so much! Seriously thought I was the only one to hear such a unique sound

Yes, as far as I know, this is the main point. Apart from that, turboprop engines have proven to be less susceptible to damage in adverse conditions e.g. in desert areas. With that said, I should probably add that the An-70's engines aren't classic turboprops, but propfans ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propfan )

It was main competitor of A-400 program, and has much better characteristics. Main reason are its much more efficient engines. Antonov also has lots of experience in cargo planes, and A-400 was Airbus' first cargo one.
+Sasha Naronin Well, it's not _quite_ as simple, but basically you're right. The main reason for deciding against the An-70 was potential dependency from Ukrainian supplies and I'm far from happy to say that, but the current situation makes this assessment seem correct.
Yup, the main problem was pro-RUssian government in Ukraine. Guess if the competition would've happed again now An-70 could've haa much higher chances to win. I've seen it flying a few times, it is as quiet as C-17, unlike all other cargo planes I've seen.
You are wrong completely. A-400 is a copypaste of An-70. An-70 development was mostly supported by Russia, especially due to Russian Airborne (ВДВ) commander in chief lobby. All applied science research for this program is Russian (TSAGI, VIAM, etc.). Ukraine once in the past (Yuschenko administration) tried to refused from Russian participation and establish it with Airbus, but Airbus obtained complete set of documentation for AN-70 and fraudulently refused from participation. Now the history repeats. But today Russia completely closed the program in favour of IL-76-MD90. So An-70 is dead.
Victor V "A-400 is a copypaste of An-70." - Oh, so that's why the most distinct features of the An-70 (like Turbofan engines and counter-rotating propellers) are _not to be found_ at that A400M?! Realistically, a look at the position of the horizontal stabilisers on both planes alone is enough to see that they are profoundly different.
A-400 is not a copypaste obviously. It's a direct competitor that has substantially worse characteristics but better avionics and is made by a larger company.
I'm not an expert here, but as far as I know, there are two main factors for using props on a military transport aircraft: Efficiency and robustness. Prop engines are generally more efficient, so you get more range from a certain amount of fuel and they have less problems with ingesting unwanted materials, like sand in desert locations. Jets on the other hand give you more speed, but you don't get a big plane like the An-70 to outrun fighter jets anyway, so unless you consider time much more important than range, you decide for props.
Yep,they build brilliant planes what a shame that mr.putin is not making use of plane that could sell world wide .the russian designers are very very good ,such a shame on Mr.putin.
Living near the beach in Florida, this sounds EXACTLY like a high-powered cigarette boat passing by in the distance. I mean, just about exactly, it's so unreal this sound is NOT coming from a V8, lol!!!
You generally don't taxi with the flaps down in fear of damaging them from stones etc that could be flicked up into them from the prop wash and damaging them, so I was told in pilot training many years ago.
@@flymoore_aviation When I learnt to fly in a Cessna 150 we were taught not to taxi with the flaps down in case you flung stones up into them and possibly damaging them.
That sound would have me running to a window looking up! I could totally get used to the sound of Ukranian aircraft overhead...within reason, of course. ;)
@@koolhoven6342 Antonov WAS based in Soviet Union. In Ukraine is now based only remains of this notable company, they didn't produce airplanes at all, for a long time..
That's impressive! I ha read that this "propfan" concept was very noisy, which is why it was not being more widely adopted, (since it's more economical). But Antonov did a great job there!
Slick Tires Definitely! The STOL capabilities you can see in the video combined with a noise level as low as this, the An-70 is surely one of the most impressive aircraft I've ever come across.
Антонов за год полностью отказался от поставок комплектующих из России. Сегодня Украина может самостоятельно производить самолеты без участия России, хотя еще недавно доля российских компонентов превышала 50%. ================================================================ Антонов выкинул Рашу с индийского рынка. Подписан контракт на создание 500 самолётов для Индии , вместо Ильюшина.
Это тебе парашкин сказал? Я харьковчанин и работал на авиазаводе. Завод третий год стоит и за майданутое время не построен ни один самолёт. Теперь по поводу Индии--- где контракты? Уважаемый ты реально дебил? Веришь майданутым? Этот самолёт разрабатывался ещё при СССР на замену ил 76. Благодаря майданам он в серию не пошёл. Больше половины деталей самолета делали в России.

Not quite sure. On the one hand, the plane is owned by Ukraine's Air Force and blue and yellow are Ukraine's national colors, on the other hand, blue propellers could be found on many soviet aircraft during the Cold war era.
I can’t really describe this plane’s sound: it doesn’t sound like a turboprop, but it also doesn’t sound like a jet either, but perhaps something in between.
That's because the engines here can be considered as something in between a _Turboprop_ and a _Turbofan_ . The concept is called a _Propfan_ and it's basically a Turboprop engine with a special kind of propeller(s), which is characterised by a higher number of propeller blades with a shorter length than found on usual Turboprops. It can also be considered to be a Turbofan without its outer housing, which is why it's sometimes called _Unducted Fan Engine_ . In the case of the An-70 all that is added to by the fact that the engines have a pair of contra-rotating propellers each. And so it's no wonder this plane sounds unlike any other I'm aware of. :)
Vielen Dank! Freut mich zu hören. Als ich das aufgenommen habe, hätte ich niemals erwartet, dass das mal das mit Abstand meistgesehene Video auf meinem Kanal wird, ist aber so. 😀
I'm not an expert, but according to (German) Wikipedia, contra-rotating propellers improve propulsion efficiency, which leads to a higher cruising speed and less fuel consumption. In addition, noise levels are reduced, which I can confirm, as the plane was rather quiet even during its very short take-off!
Domino 1 Ага, сидит такой вот "кремлебот" в Кишиневе и наблюдает, как Украина ускоренно скатывается в ту же помойку, что и Молдова.

Thanks a lot! It's the single most watched video on my channel, so it looks like you're not the only one who likes it 😊 ... and rightly so, since only 2 or 3 An-70s have ever been built and this one is said to be the only one in an airworthy condition today, so it's not an exaggeration to say this plane is a real rarity!
Vielen Dank! Ja, die An-70 wird wohl so schnell nicht wieder in unseren Gefilden zu sehen sein. Schon komisch, wie Air Berlin damals etwas völlig normales war, das man kaum beachtet hat und heute, wenige Jahre später, schon ein nostalgisches Element. Ein schönes Wochenende auch euch!
Thanks! Yes, the An-70's sound is just brilliant! This video is 5 years old by now and still I watch it every now and then, just to listen to the sound of those propfan engines!
😀 Das wird so schnell auch nicht wieder passieren. Meines Wissens ist die An-70 das einzige existierende Flugzeug mit gegenläufigen Propellern und Propfan-Triebwerken ( de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turboprop#Propfantriebwerke ) und erst durch diese Kombination entsteht dieser Sound. Dazu kommt, dass _diese_ An-70 das einzige flugfähige Exemplar ihres Typs ist. Aber zum Glück gibt's ja TH-cam... 😉😄
@@LEJapproach ich bin weiß gott kein experte aber seit kindheitstagen erkenne ich besonders klingende flugzeuge (wärend andere nur sagen „hä ist doch nur ein flugzeug“) deshalb war mir das schon klar, dass ich sowas niemals in echt zu hören bekomme, sowas muss eine seltenheit sein 😅😭
Vielen Dank! Ja, die An-70 ist schon was Besonderes, sowohl von ihrer Konstruktion her, als auch weil sie eine echte Rarität ist! Hast Du schon das Video entdeckt, wo ich die Riesen-Antonow An-225 aus der Luft gefilmt habe? Falls nicht: th-cam.com/video/A0-xqH3o-Qs/w-d-xo.html
@@LEJapproach Russian aircraft have some pretty bizarre sounding aircraft! Especially the TU95 bear, boy that aircraft gives you chills if you hear it close
Vielen Dank! Freut mich, dass es Dir gefällt. Ja, die An-70 ist schon etwas besonderes: es gibt nur wenige Exemplare davon (2 oder 3), ihre Triebwerkstechnik ist außergewöhnlich und sie stellt eine ziemlich moderne Konstruktion dar. Eine Zeit lang hat man ernsthaft darüber nachgedacht, diese Maschine anstelle des A400M als militärische Transportmaschine anzuschaffen, aber die Entscheidung fiel aus politischen Gründen anders aus. Technisch ist die An-70 dem A400M zumindest ebenbürtig.
BLUEFRAMEVIDEO HAGEN Ja, Antonow hat wohl mit den Chinesen einen Vertrag geschlossen, nach dem sie die 2. An-225 fertig montiert geliefert bekommen und eine Lizenz erhalten, um selbst welche bauen zu können. Ich persönlich frage mich allerdings, wozu das gut sein soll. Bisher hieß es, es gebe weltweit nur Bedarf für die eine An-225.
Thanks for a very good video. it was something else on my wide screen. would love to hear one of these puppies take off i bet the sound of the motors are something else.
Das ist ja mal wirklich was seltenes und wieder mal ein sehr schönes Video mit interessanten Hintergrundinfos! Danke! Die blauen Propeller haben auch etwas - passt irgendwie doch zusammen mit dem Grau. ;-) Wann war die Maschine denn hier? Alle 2 Daumen hoch von mir!
+jahuuhuuhuu Vielen Dank! Hat auch 'ne Menge Arbeit gemacht ;) Hier war sie am vergangenen Sonnabend (26.9.2015). Die Landung war für 10:40 Uhr angekündigt - aber wie im Video leicht zu sehen ist, habe ich die nicht ;) - und der Start war etwa 14:30 Uhr.
Comparing the An-70 to the C-17 is the aviation version of comparing apples to oranges. 😉 The two are different in so many characteristics that the comparison simply doesn't make sense, even more so when saying one was better than the other. And cherry-picking certain parameters doesn't help. For instance, the An-70 is cheaper, needs less fuel and it is about 50 tons(!) lighter than the C-17, meaning it stresses runways and taxiways less, which is important when using makeshift airfields. Did I just prove the Antonov was better than the Boeing? Of course not! And the same is true the other way around.
@MercyReaper Yes, the An-70 and the A400M are much more comparable, but even in this case there are aspects under which one beats the other, so again there's not general better or worse. Yes, German government considered buying a version of the An-70 instead of investing in the A400M program, but they decided against this option for political reasons and I hate to say it, but from today's perspective it looks like they were right.
In the former Soviet Union, several planes with that configuration were built. The ones I'm aware of are: Tu-95, Tu-114 and An-22 (for the latter see: th-cam.com/video/jFY0HlCOqDY/w-d-xo.html ). I'm not really an expert on this field, but according to (German) Wikipedia, contra-rotating propellers improve propulsion efficiency, which leads to a higher cruising speed, less fuel consumption and reduced noise levels. On the downside there's mainly cost for production and maintenance, which is probably the main reason for this configuration not to be more widely used.

You generally don't taxi with the flaps down in fear of damaging them from stones etc that could be flicked up into them from the prop wash and damaging them, so I was told in pilot training many years ago.
Almost all planes taxi to takeoff in a takeoff config.
@@flymoore_aviation When I learnt to fly in a Cessna 150 we were taught not to taxi with the flaps down in case you flung stones up into them and possibly damaging them.
That sound would have me running to a window looking up! I could totally get used to the sound of Ukranian aircraft overhead...within reason, of course. ;)
I sure know what you mean! :)
It's Soviet aircraft, not Ukrainian.
@@ПодрывУстоев-к7н Antonov is based in Ukraine
@@koolhoven6342 Antonov WAS based in Soviet Union. In Ukraine is now based only remains of this notable company, they didn't produce airplanes at all, for a long time..
Beautiful 😍🤩
From the video it seems very quiet! Is this something to do with audio editing, or is the plane really that quiet?
_If_ I do any audio editing, it's to make planes _louder_ ;), so yes, it's really that quiet!
That's impressive! I ha read that this "propfan" concept was very noisy, which is why it was not being more widely adopted, (since it's more economical). But Antonov did a great job there!
Slick Tires
Definitely! The STOL capabilities you can see in the video combined with a noise level as low as this, the An-70 is surely one of the most impressive aircraft I've ever come across.
***** Yep. Let's hope Ukraine and Russia make peace and start production of this plane!
Slick Tires
That would be great!
genial - alleine der Sound ! Thumbs up!
Антонов за год полностью отказался от поставок комплектующих из России.
Сегодня Украина может самостоятельно производить самолеты без участия
России, хотя еще недавно доля российских компонентов превышала 50%.
================================================================
Антонов выкинул Рашу с индийского рынка.
Подписан контракт на создание 500 самолётов для Индии , вместо Ильюшина.
Это тебе парашкин сказал? Я харьковчанин и работал на авиазаводе. Завод третий год стоит и за майданутое время не построен ни один самолёт. Теперь по поводу Индии--- где контракты? Уважаемый ты реально дебил? Веришь майданутым? Этот самолёт разрабатывался ещё при СССР на замену ил 76. Благодаря майданам он в серию не пошёл. Больше половины деталей самолета делали в России. Самолёт классный только жаль как и мою страну его слили и просрали. Мы скоро на мётлах летать будем.
+Доктор Борменталь А без политики и грязи , сказать толком что можешь?
+Jnznyj1chelovek да легко. А ты продемонстрируй контракты с Индией и хоть один бортовой номер нового самолёта построенного в период правления майданутых.
+Доктор Борменталь С чего бі єто Харьков за Донбасс жопу стал рвать?
+Hind Hindov Харьков рвёт жопу во первых за себя как и другие регионы Украины. Потому что у власти фашисты уничтожающие свой народ. Эти же фашисты берут на западе колоссальные кредиты и тупо их разворовывают и ничего для страны не делают. Никакие реформы не проводятся ничего не строится и ничего не производится. Страна катится все глубже и глубже на дно. Страной правят клинические идиоты и воры. А народу вешают лапшу про евроинтеграцию и про войну с Россией. Под тему войны с Россией разворовывается все. Экономике хана полная. Работы нету потому что новая власть разворовала заводы и угробила промышленность. Да вы наверное и все сами знаете.
Cute color they picked for the props... does it have a meaning?
Not quite sure. On the one hand, the plane is owned by Ukraine's Air Force and blue and yellow are Ukraine's national colors, on the other hand, blue propellers could be found on many soviet aircraft during the Cold war era.
I want blue propellers on my plane with yellow tips, cool
Thanks to your friends who alerted you to this gem. What a shame that it has not attained production.
Thanks, I'll pass it to them. :) Yes, I too wish it would have made it.
What a good looking plane
I can’t really describe this plane’s sound: it doesn’t sound like a turboprop, but it also doesn’t sound like a jet either, but perhaps something in between.
That's because the engines here can be considered as something in between a _Turboprop_ and a _Turbofan_ . The concept is called a _Propfan_ and it's basically a Turboprop engine with a special kind of propeller(s), which is characterised by a higher number of propeller blades with a shorter length than found on usual Turboprops. It can also be considered to be a Turbofan without its outer housing, which is why it's sometimes called _Unducted Fan Engine_ .
In the case of the An-70 all that is added to by the fact that the engines have a pair of contra-rotating propellers each. And so it's no wonder this plane sounds unlike any other I'm aware of. :)
Awesome airplane !!
Sehr schöne Aufnahmen, vielen Dank ! 👋👍
LG aus Berlin
HaJo
Vielen Dank! Freut mich zu hören.
Als ich das aufgenommen habe, hätte ich niemals erwartet, dass das mal das mit Abstand meistgesehene Video auf meinem Kanal wird, ist aber so. 😀
Beautiful airplane!
Cool looking plane.
Absolutely! And I also love the sound, which by the way wasn't as loud on the spot as it appears in the video.
Antonov really loved their contra-rotating propellers huh
Why? What's wrong with them?
Is there an advantage to contra-rotating propellers as opposed to a single propeller? Does it generate more thrust?
I'm not an expert, but according to (German) Wikipedia, contra-rotating propellers improve propulsion efficiency, which leads to a higher cruising speed and less fuel consumption. In addition, noise levels are reduced, which I can confirm, as the plane was rather quiet even during its very short take-off!
On today
#1 cargo plane in a world
Love the blue blades, kinda like nail polish for the airplane.
wonderful aircraft
Bin total neidisch, dass ich sie nicht auch live sehen und hören konnte.
Daher vielen Dank für das Video!
Zu Recht! 😁
Freut mich, wenn ich mit meinem Video ein bisschen Abhife schaffen konnte!
How amazing this plane is! Цей літак - просто красунчик) Антонов справді вміє проектувати транспортні літаки!
+Astrohome Oh yes, it is! I wish Антонов all the best.
Astrohome Ан-22 спроектирован 50 лет назад. Его перекрасили, намалевали трезуб и получили ан-72
Igor Brick , кремлебот иди мамаше поплачь
Domino 1 Ага, сидит такой вот "кремлебот" в Кишиневе и наблюдает, как Украина ускоренно скатывается в ту же помойку, что и Молдова. Запомни, селюки, дорвавшиеся у вас до власти, камня на камне не оставят от вашей промышленности, она для них слишком сложна и непонятна.
И по телевизору у вас скоро будет передача сельский час круглые сутки, как и у нас.
Antonov 😍
Great video, man!
Thanks a lot! It's the single most watched video on my channel, so it looks like you're not the only one who likes it 😊 ... and rightly so, since only 2 or 3 An-70s have ever been built and this one is said to be the only one in an airworthy condition today, so it's not an exaggeration to say this plane is a real rarity!
Love the blue propellers!!!!
Warum haben die zwei Propeller ,auf einer Antriebswelle? Danke für eine Antwort
Weil das die Antriebseffizienz erhöht.
those propellers look like those things in the car wash
Don't answer the door,
ok
Super Video , toller Flieger 👍 auch Top bei 7:50 noch mal eine Air Berlin landen zu sehen ! Schönes Wochenende
Vielen Dank! Ja, die An-70 wird wohl so schnell nicht wieder in unseren Gefilden zu sehen sein.
Schon komisch, wie Air Berlin damals etwas völlig normales war, das man kaum beachtet hat und heute, wenige Jahre später, schon ein nostalgisches Element.
Ein schönes Wochenende auch euch!
Wow looks like a 707 tail
Безподобный самолёт!
Вершина технологического искусства,жаль что рождён в такое время.
Без, без......
What a fantastic sound at take off, glad I put my earphones in for that! Love the blue and yellow props. Great rock steady filming.
Thanks! Yes, the An-70's sound is just brilliant! This video is 5 years old by now and still I watch it every now and then, just to listen to the sound of those propfan engines!
wow dieser sound sowas habe ich ja noch nie gehört 😍
😀 Das wird so schnell auch nicht wieder passieren. Meines Wissens ist die An-70 das einzige existierende Flugzeug mit gegenläufigen Propellern und Propfan-Triebwerken ( de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turboprop#Propfantriebwerke ) und erst durch diese Kombination entsteht dieser Sound. Dazu kommt, dass _diese_ An-70 das einzige flugfähige Exemplar ihres Typs ist.
Aber zum Glück gibt's ja TH-cam... 😉😄
@@LEJapproach ich bin weiß gott kein experte aber seit kindheitstagen erkenne ich besonders klingende flugzeuge (wärend andere nur sagen „hä ist doch nur ein flugzeug“) deshalb war mir das schon klar, dass ich sowas niemals in echt zu hören bekomme, sowas muss eine seltenheit sein 😅😭
Beautiful
great videos
Sehr schönes Video, eine seltene AN70 ich feier das grad sehr. Dickes FETTES LIKE. Lg
Vielen Dank! Ja, die An-70 ist schon was Besonderes, sowohl von ihrer Konstruktion her, als auch weil sie eine echte Rarität ist! Hast Du schon das Video entdeckt, wo ich die Riesen-Antonow An-225 aus der Luft gefilmt habe? Falls nicht: th-cam.com/video/A0-xqH3o-Qs/w-d-xo.html
It has such pretty flowers.
Wow, if I heard that thing overhead, my first thought would be "Independence Day."😂
That sound thou is just amazing
It definitely is! I've never heard anything like this ever before or since.
@@LEJapproach Russian aircraft have some pretty bizarre sounding aircraft! Especially the TU95 bear, boy that aircraft gives you chills if you hear it close
Was für ein cooler Flieger. Danke für die tollen Aufnahmen und Daumen hoch.

Vielen Dank! Freut mich, dass es Dir gefällt.
Ja, die An-70 ist schon etwas besonderes: es gibt nur wenige Exemplare davon (2 oder 3), ihre Triebwerkstechnik ist außergewöhnlich und sie stellt eine ziemlich moderne Konstruktion dar. Eine Zeit lang hat man ernsthaft darüber nachgedacht, diese Maschine anstelle des A400M als militärische Transportmaschine anzuschaffen, aber die Entscheidung fiel aus politischen Gründen anders aus. Technisch ist die An-70 dem A400M zumindest ebenbürtig.
Hast Du gehört, dass die jetzt die zweite AN 225 zusammen bauen wollen? Eine gibt es ja noch in Teilen.
Gruß
Roland
BLUEFRAMEVIDEO HAGEN
Ja, Antonow hat wohl mit den Chinesen einen Vertrag geschlossen, nach dem sie die 2. An-225 fertig montiert geliefert bekommen und eine Lizenz erhalten, um selbst welche bauen zu können.
Ich persönlich frage mich allerdings, wozu das gut sein soll. Bisher hieß es, es gebe weltweit nur Bedarf für die eine An-225.
Da darf man ja mal gespannt sein. Mich würde es freuen.
Gruß
Roland
BLUEFRAMEVIDEO HAGEN
Hauptsache die Chinesen schicken dann auch mal eine zu uns! ;)
Einen Guten Rutsch wünsche ich Dir.
So graceful. Double propellers must have their own advantage, I hear less whooping noise
Whooping?
Should've painted backside props red..
Nice video.
😂 Thanks!
Ooooh Kay. It took off. What’s with the blue propellers?
What about them?
Thanks for a very good video. it was something else on my wide screen. would love to hear one of these puppies take off i bet the sound of the motors are something else.
So sad there are not much of this aircraft this is a beautiful design
Absolutely!
Flying ORCA !
Love it !
And the An 178 is a flying dolphin
Why the blue props? Some sort of composite?
I don't think so. Blue props were often to be seen on Soviet era planes, plus blue and yellow are the national colors of Ukraine.
Самолёт отличный!!!
Beautiful bird. Love the blue double propellers.
An-70 propellers are made in Russia.
Those engines make fine music
They sing
Das ist ja mal wirklich was seltenes und wieder mal ein sehr schönes Video mit interessanten Hintergrundinfos! Danke! Die blauen Propeller haben auch etwas - passt irgendwie doch zusammen mit dem Grau. ;-) Wann war die Maschine denn hier? Alle 2 Daumen hoch von mir!
+jahuuhuuhuu Vielen Dank! Hat auch 'ne Menge Arbeit gemacht ;) Hier war sie am vergangenen Sonnabend (26.9.2015). Die Landung war für 10:40 Uhr angekündigt - aber wie im Video leicht zu sehen ist, habe ich die nicht ;) - und der Start war etwa 14:30 Uhr.
A C-130 on steroids. Awesome!!
4:12 wonder if it’s a D H L terminal?
What makes you think it was? 😉
LEJ.approach/dvldi . Not sure, maybe the back ground scenery, you think ?
@@MagnetOnlyMotors You _may_ (possibly) have a point! 😂
Far best than C17. I would gift this to my girlfriend saying flower for you.
@MercyReaper wrong
Comparing the An-70 to the C-17 is the aviation version of comparing apples to oranges. 😉 The two are different in so many characteristics that the comparison simply doesn't make sense, even more so when saying one was better than the other.
And cherry-picking certain parameters doesn't help. For instance, the An-70 is cheaper, needs less fuel and it is about 50 tons(!) lighter than the C-17, meaning it stresses runways and taxiways less, which is important when using makeshift airfields. Did I just prove the Antonov was better than the Boeing? Of course not! And the same is true the other way around.
@MercyReaper Yes, the An-70 and the A400M are much more comparable, but even in this case there are aspects under which one beats the other, so again there's not general better or worse.
Yes, German government considered buying a version of the An-70 instead of investing in the A400M program, but they decided against this option for political reasons and I hate to say it, but from today's perspective it looks like they were right.
This is the only aircraft I know of that uses contra-rotating blades on all the_engines. What was the purpose for doing so?
In the former Soviet Union, several planes with that configuration were built. The ones I'm aware of are: Tu-95, Tu-114 and An-22 (for the latter see: th-cam.com/video/jFY0HlCOqDY/w-d-xo.html ).
I'm not really an expert on this field, but according to (German) Wikipedia, contra-rotating propellers improve propulsion efficiency, which leads to a higher cruising speed, less fuel consumption and reduced noise levels. On the downside there's mainly cost for production and maintenance, which is probably the main reason for this configuration not to be more widely used.
