Why are the engines on top of the wings? The engineering secrets of the Antonov An-72.
In this episode of Inside the Factory, we examine the unique "Upper Surface Blowing" (USB) design of the Antonov An-72 Coaler. This STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) transport relies on complex aerodynamics and specialized materials.
✈️ Production Highlights:
• The Over-Wing Nacelles: Watch the fabrication of the distinctive engine pods mounted above the wings to utilize the Coanda effect for extra lift.
• Heat-Resistant Materials: See how engineers reinforce the upper wing surface with titanium and steel to withstand the scorching exhaust gases directly from the engines.
• Aerodynamic Testing: The rigorous testing process to ensure the USB effect works perfectly for short-field performance.
The An-72 is one of the most distinctive aircraft ever built, and its manufacturing process is just as unique.
