The development of a military transport plane An-72 STOL (OHR) in OKB O.K. Antonov began in early 1970 and was intended to replace the turboprop An-26. The initiator of the work on the aircraft, using an unconventional method of increasing the lift itself was General Designer. "The flow of gas flowing at a high speed from the engine nozzle, passes over the wing, creating more lift" - so vividly described O.K. Antonov feasibility of such a solution for future machines. This method is based on the so-called Coanda effect, patented in 1932, and bearing the name of the author

Ан-72 "Чебурашка" - военно-транспортный самолёт / AN-72 "Cheburashka" - military transport aircraft
Разработка военно-транспортного самолета Ан-72 короткого взлета и посадки (КВП) в ОКБ O.K. Антонова началась в начале 1970 г. и предназначалась для замены турбовинтового Ан-26. Инициатором работ по самолетам, использующим нетрадиционный метод повышения подъемной силы, был сам Генеральный конструктор. «Поток газов, с большой скоростью вытекающий из сопла двигателя, пройдет над крылом, создавая дополнительную подъемную силу» — так образно описывал O.K. Антонов целесообразность такого решения будущей машины. Этот способ основан на так называемом эффекте Коанда, запатентованном в 1932 г. и носящем имя автора
