Light transport aircraft
The AN-132 light transport aircraft is a deep modernization of the world-known AN-32. The AN-132 inherits the best features of its predecessor: the ability to be operated in a hot climate and high mountain conditions, take off and land from/to all types of airfields, reliability, and flexibility in operation. The AN-132 differs from the AN-32 with a new level of technical, economic, and flight performance data: increased load-carrying capacity, greater flight range, high fuel efficiency, lower noise, and emissions level. The AN-132 is intended for operation on short and medium-haul routes.
The AN-132 can work around the clock, in a wide range of climate and weather conditions at any latitudes, to be operated at airfields with runways of different quality including short unpaved airfields and mountain terrains. The onboard loading/unloading complex of the AN-132 allows autonomous operation of the aircraft at poor-equipped airdromes.
The new aircraft performs various tasks including transportation of cargoes “in bulk” or using aviation pallets as well as transportation of light self-propelled and non-self-propelled vehicles weighing up to 9.2 t, mail. In emergencies, the AN-132 can evacuate civilians from disaster areas, casualties at standard stretchers, and airdropping of paratrooper rescue teams.
