There is some hope that the Antonov-225 will be rebuilt as this is a significant piece of aviation history. The massive carrier aircraft and the Buran are seen here. The Buran looked a lot like the space shuttle but was not even close when it came to the technology we had in ours. Just like the American 747, which was used to transport the space shuttle from one location to another, the Soviets had a design to use the Antonov-225 as the transport aircraft for the short-lived Soviet space shuttle, known as the “Buran.”
The A380 took the first flight in April 2005 and commercial service began in October 25 th, 2007 with Singapore Airlines. The Airbus A380 is a four-engine aircraft and is the largest commercial plane in the world. The Antonov-225 also has a place in the history of the Soviet space program. The airliner that holds the current record of highest passenger capacity is the Airbus A380. To learn more about this great aircraft designer, we offer up this information. Over his lifetime he helped develop some of the most sophisticated aircraft in the world. The company was founded by Oleg Antonov, who was born in 1906. The Antonov design bureau is an old company with many great aircraft designs for the then-Soviet Union and the Ukraine. This graphic will help illustrate this further. It is important that we offer up a size comparison on this aircraft in relation to others of its type and near size. Here is a video of the massive Antonov-225 taking off.
You really need to see this aircraft in flight, as it is massive and drew large crowds justĪbout every time that it would take off and land. The aircraft was powered by six Progress D-18T engines generating around 51,000 pounds of thrust each. With a crew of six, the massive sky giant had a wingspan of 290 feet, a length of 275 feet and 7 inches and a wing area way larger than many homes at 9,740 square feet. The Antonov-225 is a most amazing aircraft – it holds the record for the highest lift capacity and some other amazing statistics. This amazing aircraft has also been known as the Mriya or “Dream.”
