The Original Stunner: The Antonov An-225 “Mrija”
The Antonov An-225 “Mrija” is an incredible aircraft and holds the title of the largest cargo plane in the world. Developed in the former Soviet Union, this giant took to the skies for the first time in 1988. The only one ever built was originally designed to transport the Buran space shuttle. It's a big deal in the air freight world, especially considering it was crafted back in the 1980s. With a wingspan of 88.4 meters (290 feet) and a length of 84 meters (276 feet), the An-225 impresses with its sheer size. It can reach a top speed of 850 km/h (528 mph), with a range of about 15,400 kilometers (9,570 miles) when it's empty. And get this: it can take off with a max weight of 640 tons (1.4 million pounds)! Talk about overload! This awesome piece of engineering was designed by geniuses Oleg Antonov and Vladimir Kolesnikov.
