What is the largest aeroplane ever built called?

Answer 1

The spruce goose

Answer 2

The Antonov An-225 Mriya is a heavy-lift transport. It was designed to carry piggy-back loads which are too big to fit into its fuselage. For example, the Buran Space Shuttle. Mriya means dream. It is the world's largest aircraft in the world. It was derived from the An-124. The An-225 uses 6 engines, whereas, the An-124 has 4 engines.

The An-225 first flew on 21 December, 1988. Only one An-225 was built, however, a second plane may be built.

Answer 3

There are several answer depending on how you interpret the question.

1. Largest wingspan is the Spruce Goose - only one made and had one flight

2. The An-225 is quoted as having a maximum takeoff weight - it was originally built to ferry the Soviet Buran space shuttle.

3. B36 Peacemaker - Military use

4. The new Airbus A380 plane - The first commercial flight by Singapore Airlines will come early next year.

Hope this is helpful.

Answer 4

The An-225 is quoted as having a maximum takeoff weight of over 1.3 million pounds (600,000 kg). The FAI gives credit for a slightly lower weight of 1.12 million pounds (508,200 kg), the record set by an An-225 in 1989 for the largest mass ever lifted by an airplane to an altitude of 6,500 ft (2,000 m). The An-225 was originally built to ferry the Soviet Buran space shuttle but it is now used to transport various outsize cargos. Only one example was ever completed, and it is currently available for charter flights through the British company Air Foyle. The An-225 is a cargo transport only and has never been used as an airliner.

Answer 5

Ranks based on weight:

1. An-225

3. 747
4. An-124
5. C-5 Galaxy
6. Airbus A340

Spruce Goose has largest wingspan...

Answer 6

I'm confused by the way the record for largest plane is determined. I read that the largest airliner in the world is the 747-400, and then I read it is the An-225. Similarly, I read that the plane with the largest wingspan is the Spruce Goose,

Answer 7

There are quite a few mild and ultralight plane kits on the marketplace for homebuilt plane. i might presume them to be extremely safer than something you designed or partly designed your self. i'm no aero engineer yet i anticipate that the reason vehicle engines are seldom utilized in small 2 seater plane is by technique of the fact of their weight. My Optometrist flies 2 seat ultralight planes with enclosed cockpits and his are powered with the aid of air cooled 2 cyl Rotax engines that make between 50 and 70hp. virtually comparable to the Rotax engines utilized in some snowmobiles. one element that i understand for particular is that a carburetor made for a motor vehicle won't function the other way up, so in spite of gasoline gadget you employ will could be of an plane layout. you would be waiting to apply your fav seek engine and the main words "Homebuilt plane" or "equipment equipped plane" to locate all forms of functional information. sturdy success.
