It is a variant of the An-72.The An-72 and An-74 get their nickname, Cheburashka, from the large engine intake ducts, which resemble the oversized ears of the popular Soviet animated character of the same name.Table of ContentsDesign and development[edit]Operational history[edit]Variants[edit]Operators[edit]Civilian[edit]Military[edit]Notable accidents and incidents[edit]Specifications[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Design and development[edit]The An-74 was initially an upgrade of the An-72 test aircraft, intended to be used in the Arctic and Antarctica; and had the designation An-72A “Arctic”.[3] The aircraft’s main purpose is to deliver cargo, equipment and personnel over short- and medium-range routes in any climatic conditions ranging from \u221260 to 45\u00a0\u00b0C (\u221276 to 113\u00a0\u00b0F) and at any latitude, including the North Pole, and high altitudes. It can operate to and from low grade airstrips such as concrete, pebble, ice and snow aerodromes.Produced in tandem with the An-72, the An-74 can be fitted with wheel-ski landing gear, de-icing equipment and a number of other upgrades allowing the aircraft to support operations in Arctic or Antarctic environments.  An unusual design feature of the An-74 (as well as An-72) is the use of the Coand\u0103 effect to improve STOL performance, utilizing engine exhaust gases blown over the wing’s upper surface to boost lift. The powerplant used is the Lotarev D-36 turbofan engine. The An-74 bears some resemblance to the unsuccessful Boeing YC-14, a prototype design from the early 1970s which had also used overwing engines and the Coand\u0103 effect.The rear fuselage of the aircraft has a hinged loading ramp with a rear fairing that slides backwards and up to clear the opening. The An-74 has a payload of 7.5 tons including up to ten passengers in the cargo version, or up to 52 seats in the passenger version; the operating ceiling is 10,100 metres (33,100\u00a0ft) and cruising speed is 550 to 700 kilometres per hour (300 to 380\u00a0kn; 340 to 430\u00a0mph). The aircraft may also be used for highly specialized operations:pilotage and vessel escort;establishing and servicing of drifting stations;research operations in Arctic or Antarctic regions;visual ice patrol;fishery reconnaissance.Operational history[edit]This section needs to be updated. Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information.  (March 2019)As of January 1, 2006, twenty-three out of thirty aircraft registered in Russia were in operation.[citation needed]Variants[edit]  Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine An-74TK-200VIP  An-74: Arctic\/Antarctic support model with room for five crew, increased fuel capacity, larger radar in bulged nose radome, improved navigation equipment, better de-icing equipment, and can be fitted with wheel-skis landing gear.An-74-200: Military transport based on the An-74TAn-74-200D: VIP\/executive transport version of the An-74TK-200.

The cause of the accident was an overloading of the aircraft, combined with the premature retraction of the wing flaps.[8]On 23 April 2006, a Libyan Air Force An-74TK-200 carrying food aid to Chad crashed near the village of Kouss\u00e9ri in neighbouring Cameroon after abandoning its landing at N’Djamena. All six Ukrainian crew members were confirmed dead.[9]On 27 November 2006, an Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps Antonov An-74, serial number 15-2255, crashed on takeoff at Tehran Mehrabad Airport.
