Meet Antonov An-2
The An-2 first appeared in 1947. Its radial engine, braced biplane wings and fixed landing gear belong to an older visual vocabulary, but they served a durable utility design. The aircraft carried people and cargo and also worked in agriculture and other specialist roles.
Its size is easy to underestimate from photographs: this is a transport aircraft, not a two-seat sport biplane. The generous wing area and high-lift devices are part of its short-field design. Simulator variants and their manuals determine the available cockpit equipment and working configurations.

Automatic slats and cockpit preparation
The An-2 guide describes the real aircraft's automatic leading-edge slats, then identifies trim circuit breakers and the control lock in its simulator cockpit documentation. The overview and the implementation notes serve different purposes and are kept in their source context.
