AN28
Aircraft Model (Name & Manufacturer)
Antonov An-28 by Antonov Design Bureau (originally USSR, later produced in Poland by PZL-Mielec)
Aircraft Category
B (Wingspan: 22.06 m)
Purpose or Role in Game
Short-haul regional utility turboprop – ideal for feeder routes to small airports, rural destinations, island services, and remote operations
Why should this aircraft be added?
The An-28 is a rugged, STOL-capable (Short Take-Off and Landing) aircraft that can serve extremely short runways and unprepared strips. Including it in WoA would add realism and gameplay depth for remote and regional airports, especially in challenging terrains like mountainous regions or islands. Its role supports early-game economy-building and logistics simulation in underdeveloped regions. Also expands the Eastern European and Central Asian aircraft roster.
