Antonov An-30
From Free net encyclopedia
The Antonov An-30 ( NATO Clank), is a development of the An-24 equipped for aerial cartography. A military reconnaissance version was also produced as the An-30M.
The An-30 has also been used as a weather control aircraft. Some have been fitted with frozen tanks of carbon dioxide to be ejected into the sky to form artificial rain clouds. These An-30s have also been put to use to avoid crop-damaging hailstorms and also to maintain good weather, such as at the 850th anniversary of Moscow in September 1997.
