The World's Heaviest And Largest Airplane


The An-225 is a strategic airlift transport aircraft which was built by the Antonov Design Bureau, and is the largest airplane ever built. The design was built to transport the Buran space orbiter.

The Antonov An-225 is commercially available for carrying ultra-heavy and oversize freight, up to 550,000 lb internally or 440,000 lb on the upper fuselage. Only two An-225s have been produced.
