The Plane Too Big for the Sky | Antonov An-225 Explained

Описание: The Antonov An-225 Mriya was the largest aircraft ever built — a six-engine giant designed to carry cargo no other airplane on Earth could lift.

From transporting the Soviet Buran space shuttle to flying record-breaking payloads across continents, the An-225 pushed engineering beyond what many believed was possible. With a wingspan wider than a football field, 6 massive turbofan engines, and the ability to carry over half a million pounds of cargo, it wasn’t just an airplane — it was a flying industrial machine.

In this documentary, we explore the engineering, design challenges, history, and legacy of the legendary Antonov An-225, and how its destruction in 2022 marked the end of an aviation icon.
