On the 31st August, 1947 in favourable weather conditions with light crosswind, the
research pilot P.N. Volodin has conducted a maiden flight of the first plane prototype,
named SKA. The plane has performed two big circles at the altitude of 1200 meters
and after 30 minutes the plane has performed a successful landing.
In December, 1947 at the Air Force Test Base the official tests started, which
continued till March, 1948. In July of the same year the tests of the second prototype
with the engine AS-21 were completed.
On the 23rd August, 1948 the plane named An-2 was introduced to the Air Force
service and for Civil Aviation. Serial production of the plane has started at the plant
No 473 in Kiev.
AIR MOBILITY
60% of Russian territory are regions of Siberia, Far East and Extreme North
15 territorial rural entities of the RF: air transportation is the main mode of transport
28 thousand rural locations — no access to ground transport
In settlements located on the lines of concentric circles domestic airports have to be built or
restored.
Clarifications:
- On the map only those settlements are shown which have big regional airports (reference settlements);
- Concentric circles show the areas of graded availability of domestic airlines around settlements;
- The coefficient of air mobility shows the degree of domestic airlines use by the population of the indicated area.

The most effective way for prompt increase of air fleet for domestic lines is
restoration of air worthiness and upgrade of civil and state aviation planes,
first of all An-2
Modification and upgrade of 500-600 An-2 planes will solve the issue with the lack of
carrying capacities and make the problem less serious for the nearest 5 – 7 years

Aircraft Upgrade UPGRADE OF THE PLANE An-2
Upgrade of the Replacement of the reciprocating engine AS-62IR with the jet-
power unit prop engine TRE-331-12 ensures:
Switch from the rare and expensive aviation gasoline to the aviation
kerosene TS-1 widely used in aviation;
Decrease of the fuel flow in comparison with the gasoline reciprocating
engine AS-62IR for 10%;
Reduction of the cost per flight-hour in almost 3 times;
Operations in conditions of the Extreme North including operations
with the wheel-ski landing gear;
Flight height ― to 4 000 meters (with passengers), cruise speed ― 210
km/h;
The price of the upgraded plane TVS-2MS is 1 280 000 dollars.; 7
