With the outbreak of the Novogerman-Karakalpak War, a problem was discovered - namely, that Novogermany had almost no cargo aircraft. In stock there were 3 SicherLuft C-20 and 1 C-20JP, as well as 1 SicherLuft C-30. Two C-20s were sent to the northwestern front, but one of them was almost immediately shot down by karakalpak air defense. Another was shot down in the air by enemy MiG-29 fighter. The new aviation company Kaizerov Aerodynamiks presented a design for a cargo aircraft, the L.37, which could also transport troops. Later, the project was adapted to the needs of the military and was renamed the Ff-37 (from Frachtflugzeug-37). The SicherLuft company was dissolved due to bankruptcy, so Kaizerov Aerodynamiks produced the FF-37 jointly with HBZ. This aircraft requires only 3 crew members for a full flight - a captain, a pilot and a navigator. The aircraft was based on the Soviet An-22 Antey transport aircraft, and it was decided to use turboprop engines due to their efficiency and reliability. The aircraft has a payload capacity of up to 45 tons, can reach straight-line speeds of up to 340 miles per hour, and can carry up to 60 soldiers and their equipment. There are plans to adapt the aircraft to a bomber role, as it is currently the only one capable of carrying the new cluster bombs. It is also possible to adapt it to a tanker or even a gunship. AG1 - taxi lights. AG2 - NAV lights. AG3 - open cargo bay. AG4 - search camera.
