Abukaboy:
I was told that the trajectory was as much the result of a probable overload as the wide gap between Vr and Vmca at take-off/climb power on these aircraft. Failure of any outboard while transiting this uncomfortably wide no-man's-land saw the aircraft immediately try and roll inverted, (apparently), enough to cope with in VMC, but if they were in IMC??!!
U were told wrong!
D An-12 was designed as a military transport to operate off unpaved strips. It is tough to fly and unforgiving, but a lot of military a/c are like this.Your comment is maliciously misleading
transilvana:
yr comment is worth only 3 min of my time! Russian a/c designed before the collapse of d USSR were better performers than anyth equivallent, built in the West. Smoking engines does not mean underperforming engines. The fuel efficiency was never a design priority while performance was top...
What crap by these 2 posters
