Antonov An-32 is a re-engined version of An-26 aircraft. The aircraft was specially designed for high elevation, short runway mountain airdromes. The An-32 is brought in to withstand adverse weather conditions and higher payloads than the standard An-26. The high placement of the engine nacelles above the wing allowed for larger diameter propellers, which are driven by 5100 hp rated AI-20 turboprop engines, almost twice as powerful as the An-26's AI-24. Aircraft  enjoys excellent take-off characteristics under tropical and mountainous (high-altitude) conditions.
