pregunta, tiene alguna ventaja que las turbinas esten donde estan?? o es solo diseño.
Además... no chupan "piedritas" :rofl: como el F-16 :rofl:
Es decir: aptos para pistas de la Patagonia sur y para hacer el salto Rio Gallegos - Malvinas o ... inclusive Río Gallegos - MARAMBIO (Antártida Argentina)
Desde RIO GALLEGOS - Hasta MARAMBIO = 1.570 km
Desde MARAMBIO - Hasta BELGRANO I = 1.700 km
Desde MARAMBIO - Hasta SOBRAL: 1.920 km
Un AN-74 K200
El AN-74 TK-200 puede transportar hasta 10 ton de carga a velocidades de 500 a 700 km/h. Hay varios modelos de AN-72 / AN-74 incluyendo una versión para Patrulla Marítima, otra para Transporte Militar con capacidad para lanzamiento de carga en vuelo, otra para Transporte Civil con motores en posición normal (debajo de las alas). El alcance máximo es de casi 5.000 km (sin carga)
Es decir: este bicharraco (AN-74 TK200) puede ir desde Buenos Aires (Palomar?) hasta RIO GALLEGOS = 2.620 km de un tirón sin problemas. Cargar combustible y pasajeros y/o carga y efectuar el viaje
a) RIO GALLEGOS - MARAMBIO de 1.570 km, donde carga combustible
b) MARAMBIO - BELGRANO de 1.700 km, deja carga y pax y vuelve a MARAMBIO = 3.400 km, donde carga nuevamente combustible
c) MARAMBIO - RIO GALLEGOS - PALOMAR
Si tiene que recorrer 1.500 km puede llevar unas 8 toneladas (mix de carga + pasajeros o tropas o paracaidistas)
