The Antonov An-178 (Ukrainian: Антонов Ан-178) is a short-range medium-airlift military transport aircraft designed and produced by the Ukrainian Antonov company. Based on the Antonov An-158 (An-148-200), the project was announced on 5 February 2010. The first prototype was rolled out on 16 April 2015 and conducted its maiden flight on 7 May 2015.[2][3]
The An-178 is proposed to replace several outdated transport aircraft, such as the An-12, An-26 and An-32.[4] The aircraft will have an avionics suite similar to the Antonov An-148, and will use Progress D-436-148FM engines.[citation needed] The An-178 is a potential competitor for the Embraer KC-390 from Brazil.[5] The company has planned to build more than 200 of the aircraft.[6]
