====An-3==== * '''An-3''' (second use of designation) β In an effort to replace the An-2SKh, after the poor performance of the abortive [[WSK-Mielec M-15 Belphegor]], it was proposed to fit a turboprop engine on an all new fuselage featuring a hunchback for the cockpit and An-2M tail surfaces. This design was not carried through and a less ambitious re-design resulted in the third and final use of the An-3 designation.<ref name = "An-2"/> * '''[[Antonov An-3|An-3]]''' (third use of designation) β The prototype An-3 with a {{cvt|1054|kW|shp}} [[Omsk Engine Design Bureau|Glushenkov TVD-20]] [[turboprop]] engine, sealed cockpit with separate entrance door above lower wing leading edge and air conditioning to improve the cockpit environment. Two prototypes were built (CCCP-06131 and CCCP37901) with a third registration (CCCP26700) which is believed to be a re-registration of one of the other two registrations. The flight tests and trials progressed well and the two prototypes set no less than six World Records for payload to altitude in their class. Due to the collapse of the USSR initial plans for production and variants were shelved until 1993 when production of converted aircraft began, as the '''An-3T''', at the Omsk 'Polyot' factory.<ref name = "An-2"/> ** '''An-3T''' β Due to the large number of surplus An-2s available the An-3T was not produced from scratch but by converting aircraft which had at least 50% of their life remaining. All the aircraft were re-registered and given new construction numbers.<ref name = "An-2"/> ** '''An-3TK''' β A convertible passenger /cargo version with six foldable twin seats.<ref name = "An-2"/> ** '''An-3SKh''' β An agricultural version tested with one of the original prototypes but with no known production conversions.<ref name = "An-2"/> ** '''An-3P''' β A forest fire fighting water bomber with a tank installed in the fuselage.<ref name = "An-2"/> ** '''An-3S''' β A projected ambulance version with six stretchers and two medical attendants.<ref name = "An-2"/> ** '''An-3D''' β Projected military troopship version with tip-up seats for paratroopers.<ref name = "An-2"/>
