The Antonov An-218 was a proposal by the Antonov Design Bureau for a widebody commercial airliner. A twin-engined design, it was intended to carry approximately 350 passengers.

The first flight was initially scheduled for 1994. Due to severe economic conditions the project was abandoned.

Only a full-scale wooden replica of the An-218 was built, but eventually it was disassembled.

History

After achieving independence, Ukraine organised a programme calling for the development of commuter and regional turboprop aircraft.
