About Antonov Aircraft Company
Antonov, the Ukrainian state-owned aerospace company, is known for producing some of the world's largest transport aircraft including the An-124 Ruslan and the legendary An-225 Mriya. In the general aviation and utility market, the most commonly encountered Antonov aircraft are the An-2 biplane (the world's largest single-engine biplane), An-28, and An-32. The An-2, with over 18,000 built, remains in active service for agricultural, parachute, and utility operations.
Pre-owned An-2 aircraft typically sell for $50,000-200,000. The Shvetsov ASh-62IR radial engine (1,000 hp) provides remarkable payload capacity and STOL performance. Buyers should be aware that Eastern Bloc aircraft require careful documentation review for FAA registration and typically operate under Experimental certificates in the United States. Parts availability can be challenging, though specialized suppliers exist.

Can you buy an Antonov AN-2 in the United States?
Yes, but with significant caveats. The AN-2 is the world's largest single-engine biplane — a Soviet workhorse that can carry 12 passengers or 3,300 lbs of cargo with incredible STOL capability. Prices start as low as 0,000-70,000 for flyable examples. However, FAA certification is complex: the AN-2 was never type-certificated in the US, so most fly on Experimental or Limited category airworthiness certificates. Documentation is often in Russian/Polish, metric hardware is used throughout, and finding qualified mechanics is challenging. On AeroGurus, we track 16 active Antonov listings averaging about ,656,000.
What are Antonov AN-2 problems?
The main issues are: (1) Maintenance — parts sourcing for Soviet-era components is difficult, and US mechanics are typically unfamiliar with the type. (2) Operating costs — the radial engine (ASh-62IR, 1,000 hp) burns 50+ GPH. (3) Pre-flight complexity — checks take 30-40 minutes. (4) Noise levels are very high. (5) Documentation may be in Cyrillic only. (6) Insurance can be difficult to obtain. The massive biplane is practically unstallable (it's famously not listed in the Guinness Book for stall speed because it can fly slower than the wind), making it surprisingly safe in the air if not economical.
