Common card · No. 489569

The SibNIA TVS-2DTS (Russian: СибНИА ТВС-2ДТС) is a single-engined biplane utility aircraft developed by the Siberian Aeronautics Research Institute (Russian: Сибирский научно-исследовательский институт авиации) as a light multi-role successor to the An-2. The TVS-2DTS was eventually not selected as the An-2's replacement, and the replacement program was reopened. The abbreviation TVS stands for turbovintovoy samolyot, or "turboprop aircraft" (Russian: турбовинтовой самолёт). It is one of the few modern biplane aircraft designs.
