Perhaps the most original and unexpected modification of the biplane was a project of winged An-2E. Currently, a large number of An-2 aircraft put into storage, mainly due to the complete production engines of their resource. Given that the alteration of these machines into the an-3 is going very slowly, a group of enthusiasts headed by YV Makarov suggested that An-2 ekranoplan. This biplane box of wings is replaced by one bearing a triangular surface. This wing will allow you to fly at heights up to 5 m with the use of the proximity effect of the earth. Instead of the engine ASH-62IR a car diesel.
Takeoff and landing An-2E has been facilitated by blowing air flow from the rotor into the chamber bounded by the wing and the side floats. Can be applied and a retractable wheeled chassis that turns the unit amphibious. The project EN-2JE received positive reviews leading institutes of civil aviation and Ministry of transport of the Russian Federation.
In 2002 he built an experimental device, fine flying as close to the screen, and at altitudes up to 2000 m. At the Moscow aviation repair plant (MARZ) in August 2003, built a model of the An-2E.
Engine — SKANIA with a capacity of 590 liters. the Wingspan is 15 m and its area is 79 m2. Length is 12.4 m. take-off weight — 5600 kg. payload — 1900 kg Cruising speed — 200 km/h. Seaworthiness — 4 points. Flight height — from 4 to 200 m. the flight Range is 2000 km, Passengers, people -20.
