Antonov An-22 Антей (Russian Antaeus) was the world''s largest aircraft, until the advent of the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy. Powered by 4 contrarotating turboprops, the design remains the world''s largest turboprop-powered airplane. It was first introduced to Westerners at the 1965 Paris Air Show.The An-22 is basically an enlarged version of the earlier Antonov An-12 except that it is fitted with a twin tail. This gives the An-22 better engine-out performance, and reduces height restrictions for hangars. Also of note are large anti-flutter masses on the top of each tail. Being designed as a strategic airlifter, it has the capability to takeoff from austere, unpaved and short airstrips. This is achieved by four pairs of contra-rotating propellers, similar to those on the Tupolev Tu-114. The engines generate significant thrust, and produce a slipstream over the wings and large double-slotted flaps. The landing gear is ruggedized for rough airstrips, and tire pressures can be adjusted in flight for optimum landing performance. The An-22 follows traditional cargo transport design with a high-mounted wing allowing a cavernous cargo space of 108 ft (33 m) in length and a usable volume of 22,500 cubic feet (639 m³). The forward fuselage is pressurized and provides space for 5 to 8 crew and u
