Antonov An-180
Type: Twin propfan medium-range passenger transport.
Program: Company funded program; first details, and model, at 1991 Paris Air Show; configuration changed, with engines on tailplane tips, 1992.
Design features: Unique configuration, with propfans at tips of dihedral tailplane; low-mounted sweptback wings, circular-section fuselage and all-sweptback tail surfaces. Designed to equal, or exceed, highest Western standards, burning less fuel per passenger-km per engine than equivalent Western aircraft; equiped for automated navigation at all flight stages, and for ICAO Cat. IIIa automatic landings. Airframe design life 60,000 flying hours.
Power plant: Two ZMKB Progress D-27 tractor propfans, each rated at 10,305 kW (13,830 shp), mounted on tips of tailplane.
Accommodation: Two or three crew; single-class seating for 163 to 175 passengers or mixed class seating for 150 to 156, in pairs, six-abreast with two aisles; seven LD3 containers underfloor; four seats for cabin attendants by passenger doors (port side) and service doors (starboard); one toilet at front, two at rear.
