At Antonov, they decided not to call the An-178 neither Bandera nor Cyborg

The state enterprise “Antonov” (Ukraine) summed up the results of a competition in which it was proposed to invent a name for the new An-178 aircraft. As previously reported, most of the persons who took part in the competition offered to name the Ukrainian aircraft in honor of Stepan Bandera. This result provoked a mixed reaction in Ukraine itself.

As a result, the Ukrainian state enterprise decided to abandon the idea of ​​calling the plane in honor of the Nazi accomplice. On the official website of the State Enterprise "Antonov" on the social network "Facebook", a note with the following content was published on this subject:

After the publication of the voting results, politics intervened in the peaceful course of the national competition. The struggle for the title was the cause of international political battles.

Recall that in addition to the proposal to name the plane in honor of Bandera among the leaders of the competition was the option "Cyborg." As a result, Antonov decided to abandon these options and leave the An-178 untitled. In the international classification An-178 will be held exactly as An-178. Those who offered the above names decided to give gifts in the form of so-called branded aircraft models.

It should be noted that one of the first ideas to call the plane "Stepan Bandera" was suggested by the user "Facebook" under the nickname Bright Fierce - A character with a clear "Independence of the brain."

since there are problems with balancing, and without bags of cement, it will not work to fly, then simply call it: "cement truck".

[Dembel77]

Only a mentally ill person can propose to name the plane after the bloody criminal. Apparently Antonov understood this - fortunately for the whole of Ukraine, otherwise they would be disgraced to the whole world.

So they would call it "PIDAPGOM" - and everyone is happy!

This is a series of what you call a ship, so it will fly.
Probably common sense prevailed over stupidity.
Although I doubt that these options were considered.

It is good that Oleg Konstantinovich did not live to such a shame.

By the way! There was one more "winner" in this competition

The names “Amet-Khan Sultan”, “Stepan Bandera” and “Cyborg” received the most votes. In early December, the Bandera version was in the lead. Employees of the aircraft manufacturing company proposed the names "Dolphin", "Hope" and "Bogdan".

No, for this name, the plane is bad.

I do not think that the Ukrainians who work at this plant are identical to those Ukrainians who pi..yat in the Rada or are at war in the nat. battalions. Still sure - the plane is not bad. Such a plant, such a story!

By the way, they already had "Mriya". Well, or is there, somehow I did not track the path of this model.

Just a triumph of reason, decided that absurdity is enough?

Unfortunately, not a specific person is sick, the whole country is sick (as it happens, Germany and Japan at the beginning of the 20th century are a typical example). And I really doubt that
"Antonov" refused the name because there is someone who "understood" something, as you put it. There was simply a negative reaction from potential buyers.

Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, in his “Twitter”, reacted to the news that the Ukrainian Antonov aircraft plant could assign the name “Bandera” to the new An-178 aircraft. In response, the Russian official suggests choosing a new name for the Russian Air Force fighter-interceptor, and Rogozin considers the name SMERSH the most suitable.

Well, well .. Flying shnyaga with an imbalance in the fuselage of 3! tons I don’t know whether to congratulate them on something or just keep quiet tactfully?

This does not happen.

Interestingly, this is where they were going to sell these planes ?? The main buyer, now enemy # 1, the European and even Asian markets have long been firmly divided, and at the most Independent vryatli there is more than one exhibition model money ......

What are you? They have Napoleonic plans! But no one knows the current where to get money for them And then where to put this "samopal". Europe will not buy 100%. Quality on the brink of a foul.

[abrakadabre]

Europe will not buy, even if this plane would be the standard of quality, comfort and economy. They have nowhere to put their planes. To also buy on the side.

Exactly that "THE LAST", the most accurate name. "Antonov" will repeat the fate of ..Yuzhmash ", of course, it gets worn out on air freight and that's all - for scrap metal. In Russia, the rate on" Ilyushin " in the KLA, which is fantastic in itself, but in the EU the airbuses have already proved by the example of the An-7X / 70 what is waiting for ukraviaprom.

[inkass_98]

In this case, the title "Last" would be just in the subject. The "extreme" is always followed by the next, but after the "last" there will be no one, because there is no one.

Yes, the trick is that traditionally Antonov's firm gave its own names to its new aircraft models in such a way that they contained the abbreviation "AN" (Ruslan, Antey ..). Therefore, the Ragul version of "StepAN BANDER" was proposed as meeting these conditions. However, given the state of affairs in the current Ukrainian aviation industry, the An-178 should be called "Torn ANus".

Unfortunately, Ukraine turned into this madhouse not yesterday, and not even 2 years ago, this process began with Kravchuk and a crowd of small town politicians in Lviv: Horyn, Khmara, Chernovil ...... the list goes on.

[Same lech]

Biden didn’t watch something .... why the USA and EUROPE are such a competitor ... they will drown soon under a plausible pretext.
Moreover, there are problems with aircraft centering calculations.

According to insiders on a number of web resources, during the first flight tests of the first prototype of the new An-178 transport aircraft (serial number 001, registration UR-EXP) built by Antonov SE, a serious problem with the alignment of the aircraft was revealed, caused by significant design errors ... As a result, in order to ensure normal alignment, the aircraft is forced to perform all any longer test and ferry flights with an additional ballast load weighing 1,32 tons (!) In the form of a package of 15 steel plates weighing 85-90 kg each, laid down immediately behind the cockpit.

[BLOND]

Yes, if only the first prototype An 178 was not the only one ...

[Private Starley]

If only the country was cleansed of Nazi evil, then there will be experimental and serial models ...

Is the fun canceled?

The Germans have already had fun. An advertising campaign searching for a name for the Airbus-A380 aircraft, initiated by the German airline Lufthansa, which was trying to draw public attention to a new type of aircraft, suddenly turned into a political scandal. Whatever name is now assigned to the Airbus, it will inevitably have the prefix - “the one that could be called“ Stalingrad. ”With the light hand of the Russian Marina Karyakina, the first to offer the pseudonym Stalingrad for a new German aircraft, he was supported by more than 6 thousand people. As a result, “Stalingrad” on the first day of the competition broke into first place in the casting of the names of “Lufthansa”.

Judging by the reaction of representatives of the German airline, the "Stalingrad breakthrough" was a real shock for the managers of Lufthansa. At first, company representatives preferred not to react to the surge in popularity of Stalingrad. Then, in general, the vote in support of the "Stalingrad" brand was canceled, and Stalingrad itself was removed from the casting of aliases for the A380.

[Skifotavr]

What is good for the Russian is death for the German!

[Mikhail Krapivin]

Yes, let them fly, let them build. Better let them build than engage in self-destruction.

It seems to me or will it be the last Ukrainian plane?
And no matter how they call him ...

Come on!!! Just started. This is so entertaining))) You will never guess what they still othibuchat. If you only knew at least approximately, then it would be possible to stir up the tote ... But not fate. The fog is complete. They themselves do not know what they will do tomorrow.

[dsi]

And I would call this plane -Promete. For he gives hope to Ukrainians, that their future is not handouts of the IMF, but created with their own hands and embodied in technology.

[Great-grandfather of Zeus]

Call it a monument, and everyone will immediately understand everything!

[nivander]

the name should be streamlined and universal type "Zradaperemog",
who knows how tomorrow the card will fall

[Mountain shooter]

Zradnik he should have been called. Or "Poperednik". Which country has been prmaidani - the mind is incomprehensible.

[Ros 56]

Maybe I don’t understand something, how you can call a plane with some name, which has a misalignment, which cannot fly without additional cargo. This is still an experimental model that needs to be brought to mind. Oleg Konstantinovich probably turned over in his grave, looking at these "design specialists".

Well, for Antonov, the last developed plane may really be. Modern Ukraine does not need Antonov.
There are a lot of aircraft of this class on the market and balancing problems will scare off buyers. And there is a problem with state funding in Ukraine.

[aszzz888]

When else will this trough fly? And they came up with the name. According to experts, he has a clear violation of censorship. That is, this misunderstanding of Bandera flies, only with heavy metal ballast, in the cockpit area. So, then this piece of iron has to be redone. "Where is Zin's money?"

[Corsair0304]

In vain the airline started this business with a competition for the name. Whatever goals they pursued, it turned out as usual. And in general, those there may call it that in a nightmare it will not be dreamed of. Someone maydanuty, and who can come up with humor, so it will hiccup for a long time. They called it themselves before, without the participation of the electorate - that’s nothing to start the game of democracy.

[Dragon-y]

Wing screwed there, or what? ..

[Private Starley]

Yes, not ... just backwards ...)))

[BOB044]

They would give him the name Senya Yatsenyuk. Senya Yatsenyuk also has something with ballast in his head, like the AN-178 in the fuselage. So it fits.

[Evil 55]

UKRALIN is now a state clearly incapable of international cooperation .. Without honor, without money, without conscience .. Maybe there will be enough spare parts for a couple of Annushkas, and then the end will come to the new Ukrainian fun-An-178 ... For no matter how you jump, you can't learn to fly without her ...

[silverwolf88]

The plane, of course, has nothing to do with ... politics, however ... but given the sad fate of the "cyborgs" near Donetsk ... the name is not the most successful ... as you name it ultimately will affect)) ...

[rotmistr60]

Yes, even if they call it a felt boot, I personally don't give a damn about it for the reason that there is only one demand from the Maydanuts - prison, execution. It's just that Poroshenko and his pack at the last moment drifted to call the plane Bandera, realizing that all the same, in the west, they might "misunderstand" this initiative. Although, what is there to understand, there is a growth on the face.

It seems to me that this name has already stuck to him, like a nickname, you can't wash it off. An-178 "Bandera".

I would say: "Peremogazrada", but in short: "Per-yes"

PS: whether the angle is such, or the plane is really plain

[Eustace]

They would name it in honor of Biden or Obama, although if the latter were chosen, they would have to paint the plane in chocolate color.

[kit-kat]

Some kind of ugly plane. Or is the angle unsuccessful? Earlier models were nicer.

[Makosan]

One of the last ....

[maximon2005]

What is there to think ... It was necessary to name the LAST OF THE MAGICAN.

[veksha50]

"As a result, Antonov decided to abandon these options and leave the An-178 without a name" ...

They could make at least one sober, sensible decision ... It’s amazing even ...

[TVM - 75]

The view of this last is strange. Look at the tail - some kind of kurdyuk. Or full pants?

[Lock]

Why didn't they call it An-178 "Maidan"?

[seti]

This aircraft, like its predecessors, has therefore very little chance of a long life or a large series for a number of reasons. So call it those names and this is the final nail in the thunder of the Ukrainian aircraft industry. They are already breathing at last. At most 3-4 are producing planes from scratch per year, and not of the newest projects, and are being repaired with a dozen more and even under old contracts through Ilyushin Design Bureau. This is ridiculous.

[pts-m]

a place for entom letaku at the center of kuev. you will open a salon in it to show patriotic films. about maidan and a friend crap. It will be safer for the rest of the planet.
