den 225 er stor. hvis jeg ikke husker feil er det 88 meter over vingene, og har maks takeoff vekt på rundt 600 tonn!

ja den er vel størst av alle. stod litt om den på den siden jeg linket til

The Antonov An-225 Mriya (Dream) - the world's largest airplane, designed specifically to carry the Buran space shuttles, is of the middle of 2001, back in active service.

The Antonov Design Bureau has now made the sole production An-225 airworthy once more, with the aim of making the world's largest cargo aircraft available to the commercial freighter market. This follows on from the highly successful An-124, which has carved itself a niche in outsized cargo markets around the world.

The 250-tonnes capacity An-225 is expected to become available for use from mid 2001, and will join Antonov Airlines' existing fleet of eight An-124s.

The An-225 that flew Buran now carries the Ukrainian flag on its tail and is registered UR-82060

The superheavy An-225 Mriya (Dream), has now been fitted with new safety systems, navigation and communication equipment. Designers have said they are also reinforcing the aircraft's fuselage so that the bay can accommodate very heavy cargo.

Jepp, så ett program om AN-225 sin retro fitting på disco for en stund siden. Det var ikke småtterier de gjorde, men samtidigt var det klart at nesten alt utenom cargo dørkenen holdt i lange baner. Hoved poenget med retrofittingen var å få flyet godkjent etter sivile luftfarts regler, og ikke militære. Samt en optimalisering for innvendig last. Ganske enkelt ett fantastisk fly, selv om AN-124 er ett mye mere anvendligt fly etter min mening.
