The '''Antonov An-24''' ([[Russian language|Russian]]/[[Ukrainian language|Ukrainian]]: '''Антонов Ан-24''') ([[NATO reporting name]]: '''Coke''') is a 44-seat twin [[turboprop]] transport/passenger aircraft designed in 1957 in the [[Soviet Union]] by the [[Antonov|Antonov Design Bureau]]<ref name="An-24">{{harvnb|Gordon|Komissarov|Komissarov|2003}}</ref> and manufactured by the Kyiv, Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude Aviation Factories. It was the first of a future family of turboprops by Antonov. The [[An-30]] came next with a cartographic configuration, then the [[An-26]] with a military configuration and the [[An-32]] modernized version. The [[An-132]] was intended to be the next member of the An-24 family, but Saudi Arabia's Taqnia left the project and canceled their orders and the only prototype was destroyed, which led to the project being canceled. A Chinese licensed-built version, the [[Xi'an Y-7]], is heavily based on the An-24, but is not a member of the family.
