The Antonov An-148 ( _uk. Антонов Ан-148) is a regional jet aircraft produced by the Ukrainian aircraft firm Antonov. In December 2006 the An-148 completed certification testing and on February 26, 2007 received its type certificate with the Motor Sich D-436-148 engines [ [http://www.motorsich.com/eng/products/aircraft/tde/d-436-148/ D-436-148 ] ] and AI-450-MS Auxiliary Power Unit, a variant of the -9 APU series [ [http://www.motorsich.com/rus/products/auxiliary/ai-450-ms Ïðîäóêöèÿ è ñåðâèñ ] ] , from the Interstate Aviation Committee Aviation Register (IAC AR)cite news

] . There are plans to certify this airplane according to Joint Aviation Authorities JAR-25 standards, as the existing certification have already been designed to meet the ICAO Ch. 4 (noise and environmental requirements) as well as the established Western European airworthiness rules [ [http://www.antonov.com/news/index.xml Website "Antonov": News ] ] .

Design

The An-148 aircraft is a high-wing monoplane with twin jet turbine engines mounted in pods under the wing. This arrangement protects the engines and wing structure against damage from foreign objects (FOD). A built-in auto-diagnosis system, auxiliary power unit, high reliability, as well as the wing configurating allow the An-148 to be used at poorly equipped airfields. Modern flight and navigation equipment, multifunctional displays and a fly-by-wire system enable the An-148 aircraft to operate day and night, under IFR and VFR weather conditions on high density air routes. The An-148 cockpit features five 15 cm by 20 cm (6" by 8") LCDs built by Russias Aviapribor and fly-by-wire flight controls (using technologies developed for the An-70 cargo transport) The wing and fuselage are adapted from those used on the An-74 jet transport.

Variants

The An-148-100 regional aircraft is the main model of the An-148. It seats 70 passengers at 34 in pitch (864 mm) or up to 80 passengers at 762 mm (30 in) pitch in a one class 2+3 seating layout. The aircraft is also configurable in a multiple-class layout which can carry fewer passengers, typically with 4 abreast business class.

For Siberian operators, Antonov plans a model with a higher gross weight and additional fuel capacity in the center tank, extending the range with 75 passengers from 1,187 nmi to 1,943 nmi. AnEvariant is also planned to offer a special 2,752-nmi-range, which would serve as a platform for the "E1", capable of for non-stop Moscow-Vladivostok (3,777 nm) services carrying 44 passengers.

There are also proposals for a stretched -200 series aircraft, 5.3 m longer which would seat 90–100 passengers (source: http://www.ifc-leasing.com/en/an-148.php).

The list price for the An-148-100 has been set at $18-20 million USD. Antonov claims direct operating costs will be 25-30 percent lower than an Embraer 170.

In April 2005, the An-148, received its first order from Ilyushin Finance Co. (IFC) leasing company and the airline company Krasair signed a lease agreement for 10 aircraft with an option on 5 units valued at $270 million. [cite news
