Two 300 Ivchenko AI-14RF radial piston engines. Serial production started in 1966, about 300 were built by the time production ended in 1972. An-14 failed to replace the more successful An-2 which had been manufactured till 1990. (An-2 is still manufactured on special orders.) An-14's successor An-28 with turboprop engines, is still under manufacture in PZL factories in Poland under the Name PZL M28 Skytruck. With very stable flight characteristics, An-14 could be flown by anyone after a few hours of basic training. A few dozen An-14 still remain in service.

MiG-29UB
In 1976 Mikoyan Design Bureau was ordered by Government to develop new MiG-29UB («izdeliye 9-51») trainig variant to ensure effective Soviet Air Force pilots' training and to familiarize them with modern MiG-29 Fulcrum fighter more quickly. With purpose of placing second cockpit (for pilot-instructor) without changing airframe design sufficiently it was decided to unmount all radar-aiming equipment, including N019 radar, but for aiming and armament use was fully retained optical aiming-navigatonal package with optical station KOLS and NSC. It was slightly updated due to doubled indication and control system was integrated and this package received new designation OEPrNK-29UB.

Su-7BKL
