The Antonov An-14 Pchelka (Russian: «Пчелка», "little bee", NATO reporting name Clod) was a Soviet utility aircraft first flown in 1958.
Twin-engined light STOL utility transport. 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 M-28 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.
