Antonov AN-26 (AN 26) Soviet military transport aircraft, developed at the Antonov Design Bureau. It is a modification of the original An-24 model.

The Antonov An-26 twin-engine turboprop was originally developed as a military transport aircraft, redesignated for the transportation and landing of military personnel and cargo. An-26, was designed by the Antonov Design Bureau, on the basis of the An-24 passenger aircraft, and, in fact, is its modernization. The An-26 flight is designed for short and medium distances. The aircraft's ferry range is more than two thousand kilometers.

The cargo compartment is located from frame 7 to frame 33; there is a built-in conveyor in the cabin. In the section of the cargo compartment, four round windows are installed on both sides. The window in the right (between frames 23-24) and left (14-15) side is combined with emergency hatches. A cargo hatch with a ramp is located between frames 33-40. A monorail is installed on the ceiling of the fuselage in the plane of symmetry, along which a telpher moves, designed to perform loading and unloading operations.

The first flight of the An-26 cargo plane took place on May 21, 1969 from the Svyatoshin airfield.

Aircraft of the An-26 family were mass-produced in Kiev at the Kiev Aviation Production Association in the period from 1969 to 1986.

A total of 1398 aircraft were produced, of which 420 were exported.

On September 28, 2009 the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) issued a Type Certificate for An-26 and An-26B cargo aircraft. This made it possible to continue the successful operation of these aircraft, registered in the EU countries. In particular, they are actively used for the transportation of mail and urgent cargo in the airlines of Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary and Poland.

An-26 is still in operation. Over the years of operation of this machine, its numerous modifications have been released, created to solve highly specialized tasks. Some of the aircraft modifications are made in limited quantities.
