Someone at commons claimed that the MIAT plane is actually an AN-26B. could someone with a better knowledge of Antonov designs please follow this up? Yaan (talk) 16:27, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Saw another picture of the same plane that revealed a big loading ramp in the rear section. So, it's very probably an AN-26. Yaan (talk) 17:47, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have started an article on the Y7 and have incorporated the relevant changes in this article ( abit of a delay due to network problems though)Petebutt (talk) 08:13, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This recently released documentary pretty clearly shows a group of western tourists about to board an AN-24 in North Korea.
edit:removed youtube link which is apparently disallowed. The title is Dictatorship, Paranoia, Famine: Welcome to North Korea! and the airplane appears around 40:10. It's not named, but is visually pretty clearly an AN-24.
@Nigel Ish Greetings!
Just over five years ago in January 2020 you added a whole chunk of performance data to the Specifications section, citing Jane's 1976-77.
Three months later another editor quietly changed the type from An-24V to An-24B, without altering anything else. It is their only contribution to Wikipedia to date. Are you ok with this alteration? From my perspective they appear to be the same basic type, and performance is probably identical for both, but why make the change? Ilyushin Il-86 Russian beauty - massive aircraft, tiny engines!User contribution(s) for 89.251.164.225 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/89.251.164.225
Secondly - the Rate of climb is given as: 1.91 m/s (375 ft/min). This is tragically low. I am reminded of the Ilyushin Il-86; an airliner with a performance so lacking it was sometimes said that the only reason it gained altitude at all, was due to the curvature of the earth. Are we looking at a simple typo, for example should it be 1375 ft/min? This would bring it up to Fokker F-27 and Dart Herald territory - very much comparable aircraft.
If you still have access to Jane's, perhaps you would be kind enough to check the performance details. And if Jane's persists with this ridiculously low figure, perhaps consider removing this rather dodgy data. They might be WP:RS, but even the greats sometimes make mistaks.
1) An-24V is the export version of the An-24В - В is the cyrillic for V. 2) Jane's does give a climb rate of 375 ft/min at ground level (or 275 ft/min with one engine out) for the An-24V (with 2550 ehp AI-24A engines, while climb rate for the An-24RV (with the additional booster engine) increases to 670 ft/min (570 ft/min with an engine out). Gordon et al's Antonov's Turboprop Twins confirms the one engine climb rate for the RV (p. 30), but also gives a time of 17.5 min to 6000 m, which suggest a rather higher climb rate. Part of the problem may be that (according to Gordon) while early An-24s had AI-24 Srs I engines rated at 2550 hp, An-24Bs and early An-24Vs had AI-24 Srs II engines which had the same rating but added water injection (to improve take-off performance) while later An-24Vs and An-24 RVs had AI-24T engines rated at 2820 hp for takeoff. These changes in power should significantly improve take-off performance.Nigel Ish (talk) 20:20, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
An article in the Czechoslovak magazine Letectví + Kosmonautika (1973, no. 2, pp. 73–74) gives a climb rate at ground level of 7.7 metres per second (1,520 ft/min). This suggests something is off in the Jane's climb rates - I'll change to use the time to heights in Gordon et al.Nigel Ish (talk) 20:49, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
