In service since 1968. More powerful development of An-24 with rear loading ramp and redesigned tail for military use. The original design of the ramp door, which slides under the fuselage or lowers down to the ground, ensures quick loading and unloading operations, transportation of large-size cargoes and equipment as well as convenience for parachute dropping of cargoes and people. Chinese versions Y-7 and Y-7H. Civil version An-26S. Over 550 An-26s are in world wide civil service. Total of 1,398 airplanes were built from 1969 to 1986.
