Russian term or phrase: самолёты АН
из названия статьи:
... ПРИ СОЗДАНИИ ТРАНСПОРТНЫХ САМОЛЕТОВ АН

Как написать так, чтобы "AN" не выглядело как неопределенный артикль (AN AIRCRAFT)?

Мне надо написать все слова большими буквами, так как это название.

agree  Anton Konashenok: Actually, Russian aircraft are usually designated in English with full names (Antonov, Tupolev, etc. rather than An and Tu)
3 mins
  -> The only Russian/Soviet aircraft I've seen referred to by initials in Englis is MiG (and usually as all capital letters)

agree  kfpdavis: actually the military (i.e. US military) refers to Antonov (and other) aircraft by designations such as An-12, An-22, An-32. etc.

  -> I think, though, that the Antonov "family" of aircraft is referred to by the designer's surname
