The Antonov An-14 Pchelka or Pchyolka, Bdzhilka (Ukrainian: «Бджілка», "Little Bee", NATO reporting name: Clod)[1] is a Soviet utility aircraft which was first flown on 15 March 1958.

[2] It was a twin-engined light STOL utility transport, with two 300 hp Ivchenko AI-14RF radial piston engines.

[citation needed] The development goal was a plane that was easy to fly and could be used as a light passenger and cargo transport as well as agricultural aircraft and air ambulance.

Other variants included the An-14B with retractable landing gear, as well as the An-14M with turboprop engines which was later developed into the Antonov An-28.

While these tests were successful, the gear impaired the aerodynamics and only left minimal payload capacity.

They were used by the Verbindungsfliegerstaffel 25 (aerial liaison squadron) of the East German Air Force in Strausberg, renamed to VS-14 in 1971, until 1980 or 1981.

A high-wing plane with struts, all variants except the An-14M are powered by two Ivchenko AI-14 air-cooled nine-cylinder radial engines.

Twin vertical stabilizers are mounted on the tips of the tail plane in the air stream of the propellers.
