RARE! Antonov AN- 74 RA-74006 Take-Off at Bern Airport

The Antonov AN- 74 with registration RA-74006 visited Bern Airport in June 2015. The transport aircraft was produced in 1992. What a rare and exotic aircraft - my heart jumped with joy! The huge engines above the wings give the impression of oversized ears. That is why the weird looking aircraft was nicknamed Cheburashka after a very popular cartoon character with oversized ears.
Eine absolute Rarität besuchte den Flughafen Bern im Juni 2015: Die Antonov AN- 74 aus Russland! Die Transportmaschine mit dem Kennzeichen RA-74006 wurde 1992 hergestellt. Die Anordnung der gigantischen Triebwerke verlieh der Maschine auch den von einer beliebten Comicfigur mit riesigen Ohren stammenden Spitznamen "Tscheburaschka".

I absolutely wondered what this was for a month... the overhead engines..Antinov makes such beautiful aircraft. I found this video. Thank you so much.

[@matthiashaenni]

Thank you for your kind comment. Much appreciated!

[@Posttrip]

One of my favorite Antonov designs!

[@99carnot]

Excellent view of this unique airplane! Liked Cheburashka a lot :)!

[@mytmousemalibu]

It's a neat plane, love the blown wing design! Great camera angle! You caught a brief flash of flame in the jet pipe of the #2 engine as he rolled out and firewall'ed the throttles! You can see a light flash from the core jetpipe back inside the center area of the bypass air duct. Probably just a little flame instability as the percent rpm came up but nothing to worry about.

Is there less engine noise inside the passenger cabin ?

[@sidamarali3030]

Those wings bending down are typically Antonov.

[@stevelogan5475]

Nice catch matt, haven't heard or seen any new videos or anything from you recently, hope you are doing well, i still pray for the healing of your lungs situation, on an aviation note, mentioned to you that i had been out of commercial aviation industry for appx. 30 years in the domestic U.S. and was curious about this aircraft that i'm not very familiar with. I have seen several videos of this plane and it seems they are strong on the wing over with jet engines or turbo props(i believe) mounted close/ risen on the wings, you probably know, do they manufacture an aquatic plane with turbo props in this design configuration with pontoon landing gear or with dual aquatic/land gear, if so i'm guessing would be a turbo prop, and where is this plane manufactured/ produced ? Russia ? Or where

[@ussenterprise5364]

Why are the engines mounted so high?

[@Artem-pe3sb]

USS ENTERPRISE To increase lift power using coanda effect. It was designed for short runways.

[@DRAAT]

It's for use on unpaved runways. This plane was designed for it

[@_.crzzyy._]

I must say, this is one funny looking plane.

[@uliankrumov6667]

Расположение двигателей не случайной;скорость газового потока над крылев очень высокая и согласно закона Бернулли получается прирость подъемной силой.В результат-короткий разбег.

Why does it have the engines above the wings? I sure doesn't have short field capability. Check out the QSRA demo flight at Ames: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWW0mopjh7R9qsk
