The Antonov An-72 (NATO reporting name Coaler) is a Soviet transport aircraft developed by Antonov. It was designed as a STOL transport and intended as a replacement for the Antonov An-26 but variants have found success as commercial freighters.The An-72 and An-74 get their nickname Cheburashka from the large engine intake ducts which resemble the oversized ears of the popular Soviet animated character of the same name.
