The PZL-Mielec M-28TD Bryza is a Polish-built maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft as a development of license-built Antonov An-28s. The M28 is a twin-engined high-wing strutted monoplane with an all-metal airframe, twin vertical fins and a tricycle fixed landing gear. If an engine fails, a spoiler forward of the aileron opens automatically on the opposite wing. This limits the wing drop to 12° in five seconds instead of 30°. It is capable of Short takeoff & landing (STOL) and hot and high altitude operations. Aerodynamically deployed leading edge slats when approaching stall speed enable a 64 kn (119 km/h) low stall speed and while the certification landing field is 1,640 ft (500 m), PZL has demonstrated landing in 512 ft (156 m). Inlet air ducts inertial separators and inverted configuration of the PZL-10S engines and the high wing configuration protect the engines and propellers against foreign object damage for unprepared runways operations.
