The frame rate vs the prop speed just blew my mind. Very nice aircraft.

[@trijetz3562]

The propellers looked like they were jusy starting up lol

Wow....love the sound of the huge turboprops...and what a sight to behold in the air! Always a fan of aircraft of any sort produced by any person or government of any country in the world.

[@101jumpit]

What a beautiful aircraft !

[@knightflightvideo]

Indeed, that's true! Thanks! :-)

[@MrRocking4ever]

saw these beautiful birds several times and the sound of the engines is amazing !

[@sharifabdullah7289]

Oh,what an aircraft! Love u Antonov...

[@EsQuizzyMusic]

Thanks for sharing, the An-22 is, in my opinion, without doubt the most beautifully designed propellor freighter out there. I once saw one above my home town in the Netherlands. The Aeroflot pilot (the plane was in the former Aeroflot livery) was doing a quick turn at rather low altitude. Great memories, so thanks for reviving them! =)

[@knightflightvideo]

My pleasure! :-)

[@vinniemoreno704]

EsQhristiaan I agree.The Ant 22 is the Queen.

[@lifeinmotionoutdoorchannel]

Keep calm and rotate...absolutely stunning aircraft and props (no pun intended) to the videographer!

[@JavierRullanRuano]

Great video, we expect to see soon flying over Spain this spectacular An-22.

[@knightflightvideo]

Thank you! :-)

[@BenDover-wu7ed]

I love Spain

[@luanmateus321123]

IN MY OPINION, the most beautiful of the world!!

[@fredtedstedman]

those 8 contra props are amazing to watch , I can remember watching one at Farnborough when I was young . Wales UK

[@mncro1]

Oldie & GOLDIE!

[@MsKuzmichev]

when in the 80s, I lived close to the airport, and almost every day saw the aircraft in our Krasnoyarsk.

[@d.cypher2920]

Such an awesome and beautiful aircraft. How smart to paint clearly on the side right where each prop is.

[@Oracle13]

Thank you for posting this! Very beautiful aircraft.

[@knightflightvideo]

Yes, indeed. Thank you for sub my channel! :-)

[@Alantheleopard]

For a long time I believed that no Antei survived today. Glad to see that this video proved me wrong. Nice footage.

[@knightflightvideo]

Thank you Alan! :-)

[@riccardosmirnov5063]

The An-22 is in service in Ukraine and Russia. This in the video is civil Ukrainian.

[@perrydoran]

It’s cool what the frame rate does to the double props. I was also expecting much more smoke considering the an12s, but I guess this beast is much more refined.

[@branon6565]

Always liked the look of those dual rudders, but even more so on this prop plane....what a good lookin aircraft....

[@kevinnapier7845]

Stunning , graceful and beautiful.....

[@pepecohetes492]

Thanks for posting. I love those counter rotating props, they sound like...victory! Ukrainian engineers (there, not Russian!) make beautiful and amazingly engineered aircraft.

[@kvozart8437]

It's Ukrainian

[@zorroalphonso4354]

[@ManMak6]

Wow well this plane is a lot bigger than I originally thought. Those two guys and the car in the beginning of the video really brought the perspective

[@amramjose]

Great engineering and beautiful plane.

[@kjrivas7419]

I was amazed at the low speed of the giant props. The takeoff sound was amazing! Antonov is a genius, I love his aircraft.

[@montefullmer1120]

Having two rows of props increase windspeed by double, and still is more economical to operate in the long run. Same setup that is on the Tu-95 "Bear"

[@vntwrt1734]

Some work would be required if contra-rotation propellers we're to be put on modern aircraft, as the older Kusnetsov props were very loud. But with modern technology, it's probably possible to make a quieter turboprop engine

Reminds me a little of the Lockheed Super Constellation...

[@borisfohrman1461]

Yes it has wings and somewhat similar tail nothing more

[@ludgidia123]

I don't know why they don't restart the production of this behemoth of an airplane. Put some new avionics, new engines and it'll be a beast in its class.

[@sergeyflylord]

ludgidia123 It's simple, propeller (piston) engines are hard & expensive at service then turbofans engine. Soviet Union replace AN-22 with IL-76.

[@turboshaft1959]

[@RFVideoTrucksMachinesAircrafts]

Good clip, and nice with large aircraft =).

[@knightflightvideo]

Thank you! :-)

[@HeartlandTuber]

About those props. I am assuming the that we are seeing distinct images of props which are apparently moving slowly because of the frame rate of your digital camera, and that is why we do not see a blur instead of discrete propellers??

[@ianmckay9169]

Frame rate of the camera correct, nothing to do with contra propellers.

[@alancrocker538]

Ian McKay l.p.

[@JoshWeaverRC]

Ian McKay. Not exactly. Just saying we notice more because contra allows for rpms not typically seen. Maybe I am wrong, but I think it is the props that are special and not the camera.

[@JoshWeaverRC]

R Diaz. Again, counter would be mute point because they are contra rotating.

[@horaciocastillo1435]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful video,indeed it is a beautiful cargo plane. Does anyone knows how many were built and how many of them are still in service.

[@knightflightvideo]

Thanks for watching, and commenting! 68 An-22 were build in total. Only one is in commercial service operated by the ukrainian Antonov airlines, and a handful with the Russian Air Force.

[@horaciocastillo1435]

Thanks so much for your fast answer to my curious questions. Somehow comes to my mind that there were also built in Ukrane.

[@knightflightvideo]

My pleasure! :-)

[@weesky2000]

I like looking at the propellers rotating slowly and the plane took off.

[@davidca96]

Such a badass plane.

[@Aced985]

It's almost as if those props really do spin slow like that but still being able to make the plane fly xD Looks crazy!

[@melvyncox3361]

Nice footage there,of a lovely aircraft!

[@knightflightvideo]

Thank you! :)

[@didierdenice7456]

Even if commercially those Russian airplanes are not as successfull as the ones of the west (for various political or business reasons) or now a bit obsolete , Russia should really be proud of any of there technical/engeneering achievements, presents and past!

[@urimototoyamatokanawa8416]

Didier deNice Antonov is from Ukraine

[@khatuntsovmikhail6223]

Urimoto Toyamatokanawa before say something- do your research. AN 22 has been constructed and build in USSR. АН 22 has nothing to do about Ukraine.

[@kvozart8437]

Khatuntcov Mikhail, Сам учи мат. часть. ГП «Антонов» - украинское государственное предприятие, основной сферой деятельности которого является разработка, производство и ремонт самолётов серии «Ан». Входит в состав государственного концерна «Укроборонпром». Основано как опытно-конструкторское бюро на Новосибирском авиазаводе под руководством Олега Антонова, с 1952 года - в Киеве.

[@ceaschannle5752]

It is not, Antonov was USSR design bureau and paid for by the Russians. Without Russia, there won't be any Antonov. Ukraine got to keep Antonov factory because USSR made them there and after the collapse it stayed in Ukraine.

[@AddictedtoProjects]

Great video and awesome plane. Unfortunately the background noise from the road distracted from what must have been a big spectacle!

[@knightflightvideo]

Thank you for the compliment! :-) Unfort, there was no other possibility to film the complete taxiing and takeoff of the plane.

[@The_Real_Deeda]

Great video👍👍 wasn't sure how it was gonna get off the ground with the props turning so slow

[@knightflightvideo]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@angusengelheim839]

Are props not rotating, or is it an optical illusion???

[@pranavkadambi5959]

They are rotating, it's just the frame rate of the camera not picking up its each movement.

[@dewiz9596]

The seemingly low prop speed is a digital photography artifact. They are, in fact, probably turning at about 2000 - 2500 rpm. I learned this from having filmed my Cessna 172 from inside the cockpit, years ago, when I liked to do that kind of stuff.

[@Vinnay94]

Interesting tail design, much like the AN-124 and AN-225 planes.

[@Ratzfourtyfour]

I wish they'd put it back into production just for the hell of it.

[@srr1887]

Always amazed by antonov. Is that old plane right? But still very beautiful

[@sergeyflylord]

Yes, very old. they produces in 1966-1976 in Soviet Union. USSR :)

[@YT-wl8ts]

Роман Шухевич That's now. An-22 was developed by Antonov of Soviet union.

[@Vovantro]

Exactly. This Soviet aircraft. Russia is the successor of the USSR according to the law, and it is written in the Constitution. So the aircraft is now in fact, it can be considered Russian. Ukrainian there is nothing there. At a time when created the An-22, a country like Ukraine did not exist, and therefore its aviation industry. Although. But this board, Ukrainian.

[@manuelfloresescobar7657]

[@rattywoof5259]

Does anyone know - are there two engines driving each pair of contra-rotating props (like the Fairey Gannet and the Brabazon) or is it one engine per pod, driving the two propellers via gearing?

[@raulduke6105]

I’d think those contra rotating props would be high maintenance

[@jackyclaiborne2142]

This aircraft has two props on each engine that are counter rotating. It's funny how the 60 cycle flicker of the computer or TV screen creates optical illusions of the props going slow or backwards.

[@Danny-bd1ch]

I feel like I took a hit of LSD, watching the propeller illusion.

[@pasivaan9563]

Very good looking aircraft. 5:17

[@robertgift]

What is the advantage of counter-rotating propellers?

[@AaronISB]

They help with efficiency and the counter rotation provides gyroscopic stability

[@manuelfloresescobar7657]

engines counter-rotating made in Russia by Kuznetsov!...Russia has the patents

[@robertgift]

Manuel Flores Escobar But what complicated and energy-losing gearing is necessary to create the counter-rotation?

[@ДмитрийСеврюгин-ъ1я]

This is the way to apply 15000 hp to something that has normal size

[@Gilbertory]

coaxial rotors they call it, works well on helicopters thus eliminating the need of tail rotors. see Kamov helicopters.

[@ViscountAlbany]

Some years ago I believe I heard one of these flying over southern England at night. I can't think what else makes that distinctive multiple contra-prop sound, seeing as there's been no flying Shackletons for years and one would hope a Tu95 wouldn't be allowed to get so close to London.

[@EazyDuz18]

Amazing to think it has a hidden jet engine on its belly which provides all the thrust, the propellers are only used in emergencies hence you cant see them spinning on take off. The russians were clearly very saftey conscious

The Convair B36 had a wingspan of 230' 4 jet engines 6 piston engines, check it out.See the film Srategic Air Command. They used to fly over my parents house when I was a kid.You could hear them coming abort ten minutes before they came into view. They were high up, they moved so slow but the drone from the piston engines would shake the house has I stood frozen to the spot.

[@spleensthecat8776]

Contra rotating

[@TRIMDOC]

Why do the props look like they are not moving fast?

[@chrmantilla]

Doug Davis i think is because of the camera, if look at the real plane you will see the actual speed. I think its the same effect you see when watching cockpit videos and screens seem to be blinking

[@TRIMDOC]

chrmantilla There is a word for it. I forgot what it was.

[@alexnicolaou3579]

Frequency, if a camera shoots at 30FPS, and the frequency of rotation of propellers is 30HZ too they will seem stationary, if its lower they will loook like spinning the wrong way, and higher will look like spinning the right way but at a slow pace.

[@randreas69]

+chrmantilla That would be like if you'll see the car tyres going backwards called the "strobe" effect. The direction could be wrong.

[@nighttrain1236]

Any harmonic of 30 HZ I believe?
