Encyclopedia : A : AN : ANT : Antonov An-71
The Antonov An-71 (NATO reporting name: "Madcap") was a Soviet AWACS aircraft intended for use on the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov. Its design was based on An-72. Development never progressed past the prototype stage, the first of which flew on July 12, 1985. It was rejected in favor of the Yakovlev Yak-44, which in turn was cancelled along with the supercarrier Ulyanovsk after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
