What is the biggest plane in the world?

An -225 Dream is the largest transport aircraft in the world at present, which not only occupies the world record of the largest transport aircraft, but also has the largest load capacity. This machine was developed by the Antonov Design Bureau of the Soviet Union, and was designed in the middle of 1985. The prototype made its first flight at 1988 12 2 1, and the space shuttle "Blizzard" with straps made its first flight at 1989. So far, this machine has only produced 1. An -225 is closely related to the space shuttle Blizzard. In fact, one of its original intentions is to serve as a transit platform for the space shuttle Blizzard. An -225 is developed on the basis of the former world record holder An-124, so it is similar to An-124 in many places. Compared with 124, the total weight and payload of An -225 are increased by 50%, the fuselage is lengthened, and the basic cross sections of the cabin and the nose door remain unchanged. The great change of the fuselage is that the vertical tail is changed from a single vertical tail to a double vertical tail, and two vertical tails with opposite angles are installed at both ends of the horizontal tail. All wings are swept back, the rudder is divided into two sections, and the elevator is divided into three sections. In addition, An -225 eliminates the rear loading ramp/hatch. One is that the nose hatch is huge enough, and the other is that the tail hatch is not needed when transporting blizzard. The cargo hold of An -225 can hold 16 containers, large-scale aerospace components and other complete sets of equipment, or large-scale complete sets of equipment and components in natural gas, petroleum, mining, energy and other industries. The rear of the plane can carry extra-long cargo, such as the space shuttle Blizzard of the former Soviet Union and its supporting launch vehicle Energy. In this way, large devices can be transported from the production and assembly plant to the place of use without disassembly at all, which not only ensures the product quality, but also shortens the transportation cycle. An -225 adopts six D- 18T turbofan engines manufactured by poros "Progressive" Machine Design Bureau, with a single thrust of 229.5kN and thrust reverser. Its crew consists of six crew members, including pilot and co-pilot, two flight engineers, pilot and correspondent. The height of the driver's and co-pilot's seats can be adjusted, and they can rotate in and out of the cockpit. Two flight engineers sat facing the left wall of the cockpit. The navigator and correspondent sit behind the driver and face the back wall. The cabin carrying 60-70 people is above the bottom cargo hold in the center of the wing. The main airborne equipment is similar to An-124, with automatic flight control system and active map display. The nose is equipped with forward-looking weather radar and downward-looking map/navigation radar, as well as inertial, Roland and Omega navigation equipment. At present, Antonov Aviation Science and Technology Consortium has resumed production of the second prototype of the world's largest transport aircraft "An -225". As of the reporting date, the fuselage has been manufactured. According to Antonov Oleg, deputy chief designer of Antonov Company, the exhibition of "An -225" at the Paris Air Show has aroused great interest from all parties. At present, the aircraft has received hundreds of orders to transport large overweight goods. Due to various reasons, few countries are interested in buying An -225, so Antonov Design Bureau vigorously promotes the leasing business of An-124 and An -225. For example, an-124 transports EP-3, Guangzhou subway cars and so on. In addition to transporting large cargo, the business carried out by An -225 is also noteworthy for launching launch vehicles in the air. In August 2004, An -225 completed its first commercial airlift mission to Asia. The mission is to transport the first batch of color filters made by AUO to Taipei International Airport. Basic technical data: the wingspan is 88.40m, the length is 84.00m, the height is 18.20m, the wing area is 905.0m, the cargo hold is 43.0m× 6.4m× 4.4m (length× width× height), the cruising speed is 800-850km/h, the takeoff field is 3500m, and the voyage is 4500km.
