Let’s take a look at top five world’s largest aircrafts up to this day. These immense flying objects really impress!
The first prize goes fairly to Ukrainian Antonov An-225 Mriya which is acknowledged to be the world’s largest plane up to date.
The plane made its
first flight in 1988, on December 21. This really huge thing was built
exceptionally for military purposes, in particular for carrying the
Buran orbiter (Russian Space Shuttle). The developers of An-225 aircraft
used a base of An-124 and increased sufficiently its engine capacity.
6 engines are used in
the An-225 instead of 4 in An-124 as well as twin nail. The aircraft is
the heaviest up to date: its maximum takeover weight is more than 640
tons. Today there is only one An-225 in service.
