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.
