Development

It was first flown in 1959. This is a list of Aviation -related events from 1959: Events Unknown The Canadian Golden Hawks aerobatic team Over 1,000 examples were built and 880 are still in service worldwide, mostly in the CIS and Africa. As of August 2006 a total of 448 Antonov An-24 aircraft were in airline service. An airline provides air transport services for Passengers or Freight, generally with a recognized operating certificate or license [1]

It was designed to replace veteran piston Il-14 transport on short to medium haul trips. The design of the aircraft was optimised for operating from rough strips and unprepared airports in remote locations. The high-wing layout protects engines and blades from debris, and the power-to-weight ratio is higher than that of many comparable aircraft. The machine is rugged and does not require sophisticated ground equipment for maintenance.

The prototype build and the main production line was at Kiev-Svyetoshoni which built 985 and 180 were built at Ulan Ude. A further production line at Irkutsk built 197 freighter variants. China's Xian Aircraft Manufacturing Company makes copies of the An-24 as the Yunshuji Y-7. Production continues in China, though production in Ukraine was shut down in 1978. This is a list of Aviation -related events from 1978: Events January January 1 - British Aircraft Corporation
