Four of the most powerful turboprop engines ever built spin eight enormous propellers, each blade sweeping a circle taller than a house, and the sound is a deep, ripping scream unlike anything else in the sky. Six decades after it first flew, the An-22 Antei is still the largest turboprop-powered aircraft the world has ever seen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It is a genuine Soviet giant: a machine built to swallow tanks and missiles whole and carry them across a continent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f5f5f5;padding:20px;border-radius:8px;margin:24px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;font-size:18px\">Quick Facts: Antonov An-22 Antei<\/p><ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:20px;line-height:1.8\"><li><strong>Fait d&#039;armes :<\/strong> Largest turboprop aircraft ever built<\/li><li><strong>Premier vol :<\/strong> 1965<\/li><li><strong>Moteurs :<\/strong> Four Kuznetsov NK-12 turboprops<\/li><li><strong>Propellers:<\/strong> Contra-rotating pairs, 6.2 m in diameter, the biggest ever<\/li><li><strong>Charge utile:<\/strong> Up to around 80 tonnes<\/li><li><strong>Construit:<\/strong> About 66, at Tashkent from 1965 to 1976<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">A giant unveiled<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The Antonov Design Bureau was ordered to build a vast strategic transport in 1962, and in only about three years it produced a flying prototype.
