The world s classic aircraft, the world s largest aircraft

This post has become a literacy sticker.

Ha ha. The world's first aircraft: the Wright brothers'.

The first jet: the German ME-262

The first supersonic aircraft: the American X-1 test aircraft.

The largest aircraft in the world is the An-225 transport aircraft. An-225 transport aircraft, is the former Soviet Union Antonov Design Bureau developed a super-large military transport aircraft, the take-off weight of 640 tons, is the world's largest transport aircraft and aircraft until 2016, its wingspan width is second only to the United States Hughes Lux transport aircraft, is the second wingspan. Since its inception, the An-225 transport aircraft has continued to set new world records in terms of deadweight and take-off weight, with a total of 250 world records, many of which have not been broken.

Technical characteristics of the An-225 large aircraft:The shape and structure of the An-225 is almost an enlarged version of the An-124 with an extended fuselage, with a total length of 84 meters. In order to carry the Buran and avoid the turbulence generated behind the shuttle during flight, the An-124's original single-vertical tail design was replaced by two symmetrical vertical tails with reverse angles at the end of the horizontal tail, and became an "H" shaped tail that looks straight ahead, with all wings swept back, the rudder is divided into two sections, the upper and lower sections, and the elevator is divided into three sections.

The appearance of the single and double vertical tails is one of the obvious differences from the An-124 in appearance. The An-225 requires a total of six crew members to operate. The landing gear part, the nose wheel is composed of two pairs of compound wheels with a total of 4 tires, and the belly wheel part is the front and rear seven groups of compound wheels left and right in two rows, with a total of 28 tires, all of which are up and down in a hydraulic way, in which the front wheel has a steering effect to improve the maneuverability of the aircraft when taxiing on the ground.

The largest aircraft in the world is the Antonov An-225.

The An-225 fuselage is 84 meters long, with a wingspan of more than 88 meters and a height of more than 18 meters, a little higher than a six-story building, equipped with 6 high-power engines, a maximum flight altitude of about 10,000 meters, an empty weight of 185 tons, and a maximum take-off weight of about 640 tons.

Antonov AN225 features:

In terms of payload flight, the load and range records set in the 80s of the last century have not been broken to this day. The An-225 can carry 200 tons of cargo and fly 4,500 km, or carry 100 tons of cargo and fly 9,600 kilometers, this data is still amazing, you know, the current maximum take-off weight is second only to the An-225 An-124, the maximum load capacity is only 150 tons.

When carrying vehicles, An-225 can carry 80 family cars at the same time, and can carry heavy-duty trucks in batches, mining machinery and special engineering vehicles, and also has the ability to carry rail transit vehicles, which is rare in transport aircraft, it is worth mentioning that although the An-225 is huge, the flight speed of the aircraft is not slow.
