They have a nine-cylinder radial engine and four-blade propeller but in future may be upgraded with a US Honeywell TPE-331 turboprop and a Hartzell five-bladed propeller.

While not exactly pretty, it is quite rugged and kind of handsome (in a Howard Hughes way) up close.

The An-3 is a turboprop An-2... not as many of those, though.

Thx for the post George.
I think most are stuck on what they are willing to try understanding.
