For many people, especially aviation enthusiasts, the An-225 is a pilgrimage.
It is the largest aircraft with the largest take-off weight in the world. It was produced in the Soviet era and can be called an engineering miracle in the history of mankind.
The technology and engineering behind this Soviet-era aircraft in 1985 still looks amazing today.
It was developed by the Soviet Antonov Design Bureau based on the An-124, with a captain of 84 meters, a wingspan of 88.4 meters and a height of 18.1 meters. It is powered by 6 engines and has a maximum payload of 250 tons.
When seeing this giant machine made by us soaring at an altitude of 10,000 meters, everyone must sincerely sigh at the greatness of human creativity.
The aircraft cannot be made infinitely large, because the wings will deform due to the load in the air, and the AN-225 is already the ceiling of current human technology.
No matter where it flies, as soon as this "star plane" in the aviation industry lands, there are always many famous people who go to see the scenery.
In the cargo compartment of the aircraft, 16 large containers can also be loaded to transport large sets of equipment and components for industries such as natural gas, oil, mining, and energy.
Whether it's a car, a truck, a van, or any other plane, it's a little too small in front of it.
It is not only huge, but also has a strong cargo capacity and a long range, up to 15,000 kilometers.
In 2022, the aircraft that has been in service for more than 30 years encounters war, and the fate of this end. I hope to see it again one day and fly the sky again.
