The Antonov An-74TK-300 regional jet has just completed certification tests after a 219-sortie programme, and AP-25 certification is expected in September.
The An-74TK-300 is the newest version of the type, and features a new wing, with underslung engine nacelles in place of the An-72 and An-74's characteristic over-wing engine pods.
The new aircraft offers improved performance, lower noise and improved handling characteristics.
