The Antonov An-2 (Russian nickname: "Annushka" or "Annie"; "kukuruznik" - corn crop duster; USAF/DoD reporting name Type 22, NATO reporting name Colt.) is a Soviet mass-produced single-engine biplane utility/agricultural aircraft designed and manufactured by the Antonov Design Bureau beginning in 1946.

NATO assigned the code name "Colt" to the aircraft, but it is known throughout the former Soviet Union as "Annushka" (Annie). The An-2 is one of the largest single-engine biplanes ever produced. It was particularly prized for its versatility and extraordinary slow-flight, short takeoff, and landing capabilities.

* Pilots were said to have fondly called the An-2 the "Annushka", or "Sweet Little Annie", but to everyone else it was the "Kukhuruznik", meaning "corn eater", which was a general term for a crop-duster; the same term was used for the Po-2, but the nickname would become distinctly associated with the An-2.

The Antonov An-2 (USAF/DoD reporting name Type 22, NATO reporting name Colt) is a Soviet mass-produced single-engine biplane utility/agricultural aircraft designed and manufactured by the Antonov Design Bureau beginning in 1947. Its durability, high lifting power, and ability to take off and land from poor runways have given it a long service life.

AN-2 aircraft was produced by Antonov aircraft factory in Ukraine in 1946 and it is still the biggest double-winged and single-engined aircraft in the world. This aircraft which has nicknames as “Annushka” and “Annie” is designed to be used in the fields of farming and forestry.

The Antonov An-2 (Russian nickname: кукуру́зник kukuruznik - a kolkhoz maize worker (inherited from Polikarpov Po-2)) also nicknamed "Annushka"; is an extremely durable, light, single-engine biplane which first flew on 31 August 1947 and was the first plane designed by Antonov.

The An-2's admittedly-antiquated design gives it extremely short take-off and landing (STOL) capabilities. This is partly achieved not only by the high-lift double wings, but by the use of the drooping ailerons which can be lowered 20 degrees to compliment the flaps.
