The An-225 transport aircraft produced by the former Soviet Union was originally designed to carry space shuttles, and with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the An-225 also disappeared from people's sight, but after a decade of silence, the world's largest aircraft has recently taken to the skies again. The An-225 successfully completed a 15-minute test flight at Hostomel Airport near the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. Petro Balabuev, president of the Antonov company, said:
The trial was very successful and everything went well. He hopes the An-225 will be commercially operational in six weeks. The six-engine An-225 is capable of carrying up to 250 tons of cargo, which is more than twice as much as the previous world's largest transport aircraft, another model of the Antonov product, and its main purpose will be super-heavy air transportation.
The An-225 has a wingspan width of meters, and its cabin can accommodate 80 cars. Antonov and Ukraine's Motor-Sych jointly produced the latest An-225, which cost about $20 million. Two An-225s have been produced in the world, and only one of them has ever taken to the skies.
The collapse of the Soviet Union hit Ukraine's aircraft industry very hard. It is possible that the Antonov company will present the new An-225 transport aircraft at the famous Le Bourget air show in France, which will be held in June.
