The Antonov Izdelie 181 (, , sometimes unofficially called An-181) was a Soviet experimental aircraft created in the 1980s.
The izdelie 181 project was terminated due to the lack of funds following the collapse of the Soviet Union. An interesting feature of the plane is its unusual arc-shaped wing, known as a channel wing; in addition, the aircraft has side-by-side seating, a fixed tricycle landing gear configuration, and a V-tail. Power from the engine is delivered by means of drive shafts and deflection gearboxes to the two-blade propellers. The aircraft received the registration áááà-190101 and is exhibited in the State Museum of Aviation of Ukraine. Willard Ray Custer had previously built aeroplanes with the same wing concept in the USA.
