Very Rare! Antonov An-70 Taking Off from Leipzig/Halle Airport (Germany)
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 07. 2024
- Other than its 8 paired, coaxially mounted, contra-rotating propellers, this Antonov An-70 may not look like much, but it's surely a highlight on any airport around the world, because up to now (September 2015) only 2 of these were ever built!
I admit I kind of celebrate it all a bit in this video, but a rarity like this surely deserves that ;)
First conceptional work for the An-70 dates back to the 1970's and the type's first flight took place in 1994. Since then, the project suffered from the same problems as many in the former Eastern Bloc did in the aftermath of the breakdown of the Soviet Union: political quarrels, lack of money and a market that was dominated by players, who had the advantage of knowing this market far better. But with airplanes like their An-74, An-124 and An-225, Antonov have proven to the world that they know how to build brilliant transport aircraft and with types like the An-178 and the An-70 they seem to be ready for all sorts of markets.
The An-70's party piece is easy to recognize, it's its engines with their contra-rotating pairs of propellers of course! This detail gives it an impressive top speed of 421 knots (780kmph/485mph) and a cruise speed of 405 knots (750kmph/466mph) and all that with reduced fuel consumption and noise! But they didn't stop there. Its power combined with a highly sophisticated wing structure gives the An-70 STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) capabilities, which you can see in the end of the video, when I expected it to appear behind the hangar still rolling, when it was in fact high above it already!
Apart from its registration UR-EXA, there's not such a lot information available about the aircraft shown here. Obviously it is the first upgraded An-70, but other than that I can only say that it can be seen here, parking at and taking off from Leipzig/Halle airport (LEJ/EDDP), namely its northern runway 08L/26R.
Special thanks go to πlot.Tv (tinyurl.com/gt2js6y) who called my attention to the An-70's visit, which I had most probably missed otherwise!

*PLEASE READ BEFORE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE MISSING LIFT-OFF:*
The An-70 has lifted off far earlier than any other plane I've seen there before or since and from where I was shooting, that was behind a hangar, so had I not cut out this part, all you'd have seen was a grey, featureless building. I hope you enjoy(ed) watching this video anyway.
... and if you absolutely need to see the lift-off, here it is: czcams.com/video/9U7WCPZIw2s/video.html 😉
Thanks a lot. It was awsome.
@@sidamarali3030 Thank you. Glad you like it! 👍
Me too. Enjoyed this video. I have watched it many times. Thank you for posting this.
@@hardstuff57 My pleasure!
I loved it. Great job!
High performance, high capacity, long range, beautiful cargo plane with propellers that look like giant flowers! Love it!
That propellers looks like blue sunflower, so beautiful❤️
Any idea why blue , not so common.
@@ronratcliffe2219 Thanks a lot.
я не понимаю, хороший двиган не использовать? продать как нафиг не нужный?
@@user-qr7ex4rt1b Ini artinya apa?😀😀😀
@@totosukatendel8656 Props was made by a Russian company Aerosila and it's their corporate colors. And AN-70 was a Russian-Ukranian project.
This ANTONOV company deserves all the awards of transport aviation! I had never seen so many beautiful freighters, imposing as the Antonov aircraft! Both the oldest and this ninth wonder that turns out to be the AN 225. I'm in love with this An-70 and I loved the blue propellers..my favorite color !!
Stanley, I was lucky enough to go up in an An2 for a pesticide flight in Hungary, even got a little stick time as the pilot is a relative.. surprisingly light on the controls as long as your speed is in check, thing felt solid as a bridge, an performed it's task effortlessly.. even with fully loaded hoppers, no change in handling, pilot simply trimmed it out a bit, but the weight was mostly in the wing box, years of safe carefree operation.. maintenance is a cinch as long as you stay on top, but a very simple rugged well designed bird..
The glory of "Antonov" remained in the past - in the USSR. During 30 years of independence of Ukraine "Antonov" has built one single transport aircraft An-178, which exists in a single copy.
By the way, the propellers of the An-70 aircraft, which you liked so much, were made in Russia.
AERO Susanin Hahahaha hahahaha 😂😂 the Ukrainians should give thanks 🙏 to the nazis/terrorists that took over the country back in 2014, the once great Ukraine aircraft manufacturer industry is gone for good 😊 RIP Antonov planes ✈️, Cheers 🍻
@@susanin5249 Чушь тот зачем писать?
@@A_L_A_S_T_A_R Что не нравится? Пиши конкретно.
Even Antonov's small planes look like giants.
I've always had a soft spot for the An-70. I hope Antonov can finally find a launch customer for this and start mass producing this. This plane has so much potential.
I'm with you on this. Unfortunately it doesn't really look like it at the moment.
Zero chance for this. Plane has some crucial russian parts and that makes its maintenance and mass production literally impossible. Project is in the stage of deep modernization currently and will be back with new name an77.
Plus Coronavirus
Well Antonov working hard to replace all russian parts of this plane for other...it's as other planes as well...so there's will be time where's antonovs planes will not contain russian parts no more...just give them some time to do so...and yes it's very difficult to replace them...but I'm sure they managed
@@manoleeen plane don't noone crucial moscovit parts. Moscovia dont producy nothing crucial at all
Love the unique propellers! Unique colour, unique shape, unique everything.
Beautiful machine with an incredible sound! Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure!
Wow! That AN70 sounds otherworldly! Nice!
It definitely does! Propfan engines and contra-rotating propellers, what a combination!
A beautiful and truly remarkable aircraft that should continue development and production. Thanks for posting this excellent video. As a result, I followed up on it's history.
such a unique sound
Oh yes! On take-off it was really surprising to hear, but I like it.
Sound? I absolutely hated it!
Those counter-rotating props are the most fascinating part, to me!!!
Same here! I know the concept has its disadvantages, but I've been fascinated by it ever since I first found out about planes with this feature as a child!
the props remind me of flowers... Cool design!
BossaNossa1 thats for fuel efficiency )))

An-70 propellers are made in Russia.
how can people not love this it's so unorthodox and different from any prop driven cargo plane that's in existence today
Beautiful propellers 💙
PEOPLE OF THE WORLD ...UNITE!!! ..ALL PROPPELERS MUST BE COLORED!!!!!!!!
They are.
Cannot disagree with your argument
Impressive sound!! Like a big flying V8
"Flying V8" is a very good and appropriate analogy here! It's just so different from what you'd expect and yet it's rather a rather pleasant sound.
Juan Pablo Medina Stumpfs "sounds more like it's powered by V-12 Detroit Diesels" 😃
runner4life1984 damn! i just heard an DD V12 and yes, that is much more accurate to describe this sound.
It's turbine powered! If I had to choose between the C-130, A400 & the An-70,
I'll pick the An-70!
The voise of AN 70 - Simphony !
Absolut genial!Klasse das Du die AN 70 erwischt hast,ist ein tolles Video geworden!Und dieser klasse Sound beim Take off,wunderbar.Daumen hoch!Gruss inselvideo!
+inselvideo Dankeschön! Ja, der Sound beim Vorbeiflug ist schon etwas Besonderes! ... den würde ich gern öfter hören. ;)

yar komandant SORRY just funny grew up on war films
Huge thanks for recording and for sharing. Just Superb!
+AirPlanesTVDotCom Thanks a lot! I had found out about the An-70 visiting LEJ rather late and was really glad to have managed to capture it, so I just _had_ to share it! :)
That engine sound 😍
Awesome you caught this! Excellent camera work and editing - liked a lot. I have never seen props that color before.
+99carnot I have ... if I could only remember where ;) While capturing this, I was concentrated and more or less relaxed, but afterwards, when I had the time to realize what a rarity I had got, a kind of excitement sneaked in.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
The props are blue and yellow because of the Ukrainian flag is blue and yellow.
That’s great
The sound was so unique! loving it!
Awesome video!!, Surely a very wonderful treat!! Awesome camera work as well!! :)
Thanks a lot! Glad you like it!
Being from upstate ny near Buffalo, I distinctively remember hearing this sound as a kid. We'd see Canada Chinooks flying above us into Toronto. Always made me wonder what it was nearly 30 years later. Thanks so much! Seriously thought I was the only one to hear such a unique sound
Imagine how it sounds at cruise altitude?! I know an A400M can be loud up to 37,000ft, and a TU-95 CLEARLY NOISY even up to 45,000ft!! I heard that the AN-70 loudness when cruise altitude is between an A400M and TU-95, and should sound even more interesting when at cruise altitude as well!!! Nice EXTREME RARE SHOT AND EPIC UNIQUE AUDIO, MATE!!
Beautiful! I would love to see it in person...Cheers and Thanks!
My pleasure! You'll need a lot of luck to be able to see it, but I keep my fingers crossed!
That was fantastic. Thank you for sharing
My pleasure!
Awesome! Great catch
Oh my... When the Antonov went through the bridge would have surely been exciting for the drivers under it. To see a great plane like this so close. wow!
Maaaaaaaan, that sound..! Reminds me of the (piston powered) airliners I saw when I wore short shorts. (That's over 50 years ago)
these are turbo props--no pistons.
BILLY LAMB - He said, the sound _reminded_ him of piston powered airliners. That implies he's aware, that the An-70's engines are not piston ones.
Hi, will you find the sound of An-70 kind of similar to one of An-22, but obviously much softer and more pleasant?
@@andreyyasyuchenya2868 - Sound-wise the two are really hard to compare! The An-70 is definitely less noisy of course, but apart from that I can only say the An-22 has more of a droning sound to it.
Maybe one of my videos can help! This is an An-22, shot with the same equipment I used for shooting the An-70 in this one: czcams.com/video/jFY0HlCOqDY/video.html
Turbo prop/fan engines.
Beautiful plane ! Awesome video!
Thank you very much! Glad you like it!
Great looking aircraft. Nice change blue instead of black. A sound of it’s own. Hope we see more in the future
Love that plane its a beast.
Супер красавчик!!!
Great video, man!
Thanks a lot! It's the single most watched video on my channel, so it looks like you're not the only one who likes it 😊 ... and rightly so, since only 2 or 3 An-70s have ever been built and this one is said to be the only one in an airworthy condition today, so it's not an exaggeration to say this plane is a real rarity!
I didn’t search for this video but I used to love binge watching an-70 videos thinking it was the coolest plane
Awesome airplane !!
Beautiful airplane!
Super Video , toller Flieger 👍 auch Top bei 7:50 noch mal eine Air Berlin landen zu sehen ! Schönes Wochenende
Vielen Dank! Ja, die An-70 wird wohl so schnell nicht wieder in unseren Gefilden zu sehen sein.
Schon komisch, wie Air Berlin damals etwas völlig normales war, das man kaum beachtet hat und heute, wenige Jahre später, schon ein nostalgisches Element.
Ein schönes Wochenende auch euch!
genial - alleine der Sound ! Thumbs up!
Nice video, the camera movement is very good
Thanks a lot! I have to admit though, that camera movement looks so smooth because I stabilize my videos in post production stage.
Turbopropfan engines are rare and so lovely, efficient too
Counter-rotating turboprop
@@YaHussain3_1_3 it's not a turboprop, but a propfan. And it's called contra-rotating, not counter-rotating. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propfan
@@jctripplesticks Care to elaborate?
@@TubeDupe what more do you want to know? I included the article on what it actually is
PRO qazniq not counter, contra-rotating :) counter rotating propellers are basically regular propellers on each wing that rotate both clockwise and anticlockwirse to cancel out the resultant yawing motion
(newtons 3rd law)
Great video what a nice sound the propfans make!
Sounds awesome!
It does. I consider its sound one of the best I ever heard from a plane!
Sehr schönes Video, eine seltene AN70 ich feier das grad sehr. Dickes FETTES LIKE. Lg
Vielen Dank! Ja, die An-70 ist schon was Besonderes, sowohl von ihrer Konstruktion her, als auch weil sie eine echte Rarität ist! Hast Du schon das Video entdeckt, wo ich die Riesen-Antonow An-225 aus der Luft gefilmt habe? Falls nicht: czcams.com/video/A0-xqH3o-Qs/video.html
Thanks for a very good video. it was something else on my wide screen. would love to hear one of these puppies take off i bet the sound of the motors are something else.
Was für ein cooler Flieger. Danke für die tollen Aufnahmen und Daumen hoch.

Vielen Dank! Freut mich, dass es Dir gefällt.
Ja, die An-70 ist schon etwas besonderes: es gibt nur wenige Exemplare davon (2 oder 3), ihre Triebwerkstechnik ist außergewöhnlich und sie stellt eine ziemlich moderne Konstruktion dar. Eine Zeit lang hat man ernsthaft darüber nachgedacht, diese Maschine anstelle des A400M als militärische Transportmaschine anzuschaffen, aber die Entscheidung fiel aus politischen Gründen anders aus. Technisch ist die An-70 dem A400M zumindest ebenbürtig.
Hast Du gehört, dass die jetzt die zweite AN 225 zusammen bauen wollen? Eine gibt es ja noch in Teilen.

Roland
BLUEFRAMEVIDEO HAGEN
Ja, Antonow hat wohl mit den Chinesen einen Vertrag geschlossen, nach dem sie die 2. An-225 fertig montiert geliefert bekommen und eine Lizenz erhalten, um selbst welche bauen zu können.
Ich persönlich frage mich allerdings, wozu das gut sein soll. Bisher hieß es, es gebe weltweit nur Bedarf für die eine An-225.
Da darf man ja mal gespannt sein. Mich würde es freuen.

Beautiful plane and it is not so noisy as I expected before! It sounds look like Cessna... but enlarged in 10 times ))
My thoughts exactly! But a flock of Cessnas.
Beautiful 😍🤩
Great sound!
+robb wood Definitely! I was pretty surprised when I heard it at take off, but it was a positive surprise ;)
No not the sound that was sooo bad I just like the sound of the tupolev tu-114
Excellent video 👍
Thanks a lot!
Beautiful aircraft
why the heck would anyone dislike this awesome video?!
Some people seem to be pissed off, because the actual lift-off is not to be seen in the video. That's because it happened behind a hangar and I cut that part out in order to spare my viewers looking at a grey, featureless building, but that doesn't seem to matter for some people.
Beautiful
Beautiful bird. Love the blue double propellers.
An-70 propellers are made in Russia.
wow dieser sound sowas habe ich ja noch nie gehört 😍
😀 Das wird so schnell auch nicht wieder passieren. Meines Wissens ist die An-70 das einzige existierende Flugzeug mit gegenläufigen Propellern und Propfan-Triebwerken ( de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turboprop#Propfantriebwerke ) und erst durch diese Kombination entsteht dieser Sound. Dazu kommt, dass _diese_ An-70 das einzige flugfähige Exemplar ihres Typs ist.
Aber zum Glück gibt's ja CZcams... 😉😄
@@LEJapproach ich bin weiß gott kein experte aber seit kindheitstagen erkenne ich besonders klingende flugzeuge (wärend andere nur sagen „hä ist doch nur ein flugzeug“) deshalb war mir das schon klar, dass ich sowas niemals in echt zu hören bekomme, sowas muss eine seltenheit sein 😅😭
wonderful aircraft
I realized that every single plane that antonov built is completely different from the other and very unique. Love it
Yep,they build brilliant planes what a shame that mr.putin is not making use of plane that could sell world wide .the russian designers are very very good ,such a shame on Mr.putin.
That's a good point.

I really like the vivid blue propellers

What a fantastic sound at take off, glad I put my earphones in for that! Love the blue and yellow props. Great rock steady filming.
Thanks! Yes, the An-70's sound is just brilliant! This video is 5 years old by now and still I watch it every now and then, just to listen to the sound of those propfan engines!
Living near the beach in Florida, this sounds EXACTLY like a high-powered cigarette boat passing by in the distance. I mean, just about exactly, it's so unreal this sound is NOT coming from a V8, lol!!!
So sad there are not much of this aircraft this is a beautiful design
Absolutely!
Cool vid!

Unique propeller Sound
The sound from those contra-rotating props is a surefire tooth-cleaner!
The perfect video of aircraft. No music, just engine and prop. My compliments.
Thanks a lot! Glad you like it!
I always try to keep the original sound, especially when it's as unusual as in this case.
It was main competitor of A-400 program, and has much better characteristics. Main reason are its much more efficient engines. Antonov also has lots of experience in cargo planes, and A-400 was Airbus' first cargo one.
+Sasha Naronin Well, it's not _quite_ as simple, but basically you're right. The main reason for deciding against the An-70 was potential dependency from Ukrainian supplies and I'm far from happy to say that, but the current situation makes this assessment seem correct.
Yup, the main problem was pro-RUssian government in Ukraine. Guess if the competition would've happed again now An-70 could've haa much higher chances to win.
I've seen it flying a few times, it is as quiet as C-17, unlike all other cargo planes I've seen.
You are wrong completely. A-400 is a copypaste of An-70. An-70 development was mostly supported by Russia, especially due to Russian Airborne (ВДВ) commander in chief lobby. All applied science research for this program is Russian (TSAGI, VIAM, etc.). Ukraine once in the past (Yuschenko administration) tried to refused from Russian participation and establish it with Airbus, but Airbus obtained complete set of documentation for AN-70 and fraudulently refused from participation. Now the history repeats. But today Russia completely closed the program in favour of IL-76-MD90. So An-70 is dead.
Victor V "A-400 is a copypaste of An-70." - Oh, so that's why the most distinct features of the An-70 (like Turbofan engines and counter-rotating propellers) are _not to be found_ at that A400M?!
Realistically, a look at the position of the horizontal stabilisers on both planes alone is enough to see that they are profoundly different.
A-400 is not a copypaste obviously. It's a direct competitor that has substantially worse characteristics but better avionics and is made by a larger company.
Die Aufnahmen sind richtig toll geworden - da hat sich ja meine kleine Info gut gemacht ;-)
Vielen Dank für die Danksagung!
+πlot.Tv Allerdings! Ohne Dich, wäre nichts davon entstanden, daher war die Danksagung das Mindeste das ich tun konnte!
That must be one heck of strong bridge!
You mean the bridge passing the motorway? That was purpose-built for aircraft to pass it.
Antonov really loved their contra-rotating propellers huh
Why? What's wrong with them?
How amazing this plane is! Цей літак - просто красунчик) Антонов справді вміє проектувати транспортні літаки!
