Meet the Antonov An 225....

[BUTCH1]

The biggest plane in the world...

Here's it's story..

 

[eldorado99]

It doesn't have enough wheels.

 

[IGemini]

It's Russian.

It's Russian.

Ukrainian.

 

[Ichinisan]

Very cool.

Russia has huge deposits of titanium ore, and when they built that plane they were showing off. The whole load floor is titanium.

Poor second fuselage will probably never be completed..........

 

[rudder]

Max take-off weight is 1,400,000 Lbs.... probably not too many runways could handle this plane. Fully loaded the plane needs at least 11,000 feet of runway.

Yea, but it can haul massive payloads and the company that operates it is doing very well. Sometimes this is the only option if you need something huge hauled 1/2 way around the globe in a short amount of time.
