I noticed a thread about the space agency, and thats all very good to hear about, but i was wondering about something more "closer to Earth";)

What is the current state of Ukraine's aircraft industry? Both civillian & military? How is ANTONOV doing right now? And are there any other aircraft-building firms?

Thank you:)

Concerning that...there is Antonov, there's a plane manufacturing firm in Khrakiv and Kyiv. I forgot the names of them. There was some dispute between them though, they don't want to cooperate afaik. Also, the most active is Antonov, although the other 2 are also cooking something up. I'll try to find out. And of course the Antonov An-70 project if you heard about it.

There was an article recently about Ukraine concentrating a lot of its resources on helicopter production too.

You can see some examples of Ukrainian aircrafts and helicopters here http://use-weapon.astral.kiev.ua/aviation.html
