I Found An Abandoned Biplane In The Bushes In Northern Poland (11 Pics)
In the north of Poland, near the beautiful sea, there is an old, damaged biplane in the bushes. Antonov An-2, this is the name of the aircraft, was the largest mass-produced single-engine biplane in the world. Unfortunately, I was late to arrive at this place, because a few years ago, a MiG-23 was standing next to it, which now has no trace. However, I am glad that I was able to photograph such a beautiful plane wreck.

Share on FacebookThe Antonov An-2 is a Soviet mass-produced single-engine biplane utility/agricultural aircraft designed and manufactured by the Antonov Design Bureau beginning in 1946. Its remarkable durability, high lifting power, and ability to take off and land from poor runways have given it a long service life. The An-2 was produced up to 2001. The An-2 was designed as a utility aircraft for use in forestry and agriculture. However, the basic airframe is highly adaptable and numerous variants of the type have been developed; these include hopper-equipped versions for crop-dusting, scientific versions for atmospheric sampling, water-bombers for fighting forest-fires, flying ambulances, float-equipped seaplane versions and lightly armed combat versions for dropping paratroops.[7] The most common version is the An-2T 12-seater passenger aircraft. All versions (other than the An-3 and the An-2-100) are powered by a 750 kW (1,010 hp) nine-cylinder Shvetsov ASh-62 radial engine.
