An-178
The Antonov An-178 (Ukrainian: Антонов Ан-178) is a short-range medium-airlift military transport aircraft designed and produced by the Ukrainian Antonov company. Based on the Antonov An-158 (An-148-200), the project was announced on 5 February 2010. The first prototype was rolled out on 16 April 2015 and conducted its maiden flight on 7 May 2015. The An-178 is proposed to replace several outdated transport aircraft, such as the An-12, An-26 and An-32. The aircraft will have an avionics suite similar to the Antonov An-148, and will use Progress D-436-148FM engines. The An-178 is a potential competitor for the Embraer C-390 from Brazil. The company has planned to build more than 200 of the aircraft.
