The An-225 transport aircraft developed and produced by the Antonov Design Bureau of the former Soviet Union is the largest transport aircraft in the world. Its maximum load capacity in the cargo hold can reach 250 tons, which is almost three times that of ordinary transport aircraft. There are so many, and its maximum take-off load can reach 640 tons. Currently, there is only one in Ukraine in the world, and it is still performing flight missions. The world's largest transport aircraft
This An-225 transport aircraft is an improved aircraft based on the An-1124 transport aircraft during the former Soviet Union. It was mainly developed for the space program at that time, so it was developed as much as possible. In order to expand the capacity, the fuselage was lengthened by at least 84 meters, which is equivalent to adding 3-4 train cars, which is almost twice the length of the original fuselage. Therefore, its load capacity is at least doubled, which also makes it It became the largest aircraft in the world.
And the An-225 transport aircraft is not only able to carry more items, but also its size is not small. The wings alone reach 88.4 meters, and the landing gear is also equipped with 28 tires. , the length of the fuselage has also reached 84 meters. It can be said that other large aircraft are almost not on the same level as it, but such a super-large transport aircraft can greatly reduce the cost of transportation, so now there is a lot of business finding it. An-225 has become a hot commodity in the transportation industry
It is said that it has shown its talents many times during this year’s pneumonia epidemic. In order to transport more medical supplies, in just 20 days in May alone, one after another from Canada , France and other countries have dispatched the An-225 to China, and many countries are still queuing up to rent it. This is due to its large cargo capacity, which allows it to be transported back to other ordinary transportation in one go. It only takes a few flights, which is why it is so popular.
Moreover, as the largest transport aircraft in the world, the An-225 transport aircraft not only has a large load capacity, but also has a very strong endurance, so it can carry out uninterrupted transport operations during the epidemic. It is said that Under full load, the An-225 can continuously fly at least 2,500 kilometers. After Ukraine accepted it, the An-225 transport aircraft was modified and replaced with the most advanced aviation equipment, so it has now become It is a hot commodity in the transportation industry, and even the An-124 has appeared in this epidemic.
