About Antonov Aircraft Company
Antonov is famous worldwide for huge transport aircraft, but the Antonov you can actually buy and fly is the **An-2** — the legendary single-engine radial biplane, one of the largest single-engine aircraft ever mass-produced. A rugged STOL utility workhorse used for transport, agriculture, parachuting and freight, the An-2 carries big loads in and out of short, rough strips with remarkable low-speed ability. (Antonov's giant transports such as the An-124 and An-225 are not a private-market proposition.) There are currently 2 Antonov aircraft for sale.

Frequently Asked Questions — Antonov
Can you buy an Antonov AN-2 in the United States?
Yes, but with significant caveats. The AN-2 is the world's largest single-engine biplane — a Soviet workhorse that can carry 12 passengers or 3,300 lbs of cargo with incredible STOL capability. Prices start as low as 0,000-70,000 for flyable examples. However, FAA certification is complex: the AN-2 was never type-certificated in the US, so most fly on Experimental or Limited category airworthiness certificates. Documentation is often in Russian/Polish, metric hardware is used throughout, and finding qualified mechanics is challenging. On AeroGurus, we track 16 active Antonov listings averaging about ,656,000.
What are Antonov AN-2 problems?
The main issues are: (1) Maintenance — parts sourcing for Soviet-era components is difficult, and US mechanics are typically unfamiliar with the type. (2) Operating costs — the radial engine (ASh-62IR, 1,000 hp) burns 50+ GPH. (3) Pre-flight complexity — checks take 30-40 minutes. (4) Noise levels are very high. (5) Documentation may be in Cyrillic only. (6) Insurance can be difficult to obtain. The massive biplane is practically unstallable (it's famously not listed in the Guinness Book for stall speed because it can fly slower than the wind), making it surprisingly safe in the air if not economical.
