There are some aircrafts which are so big that you can not imagine. In this article, let’s take a look at these giants.

Antonov An-225 Mriya

The Antonov AN-225 Mriya was the world’s largest freighter and the only aircraft with six turbofan engines. A wonder of modern engineering, the plane could fly short- and medium-distance missions with up to 250 tonnes of cargo, including single sections weighing up to 200 tonnes.

Stratolaunch

The Stratolaunch is approximately twice as big as a Boeing 747 with a 117-meter wingspan. It has three wings, one of which is in the middle, six Pratt & Wʜɪᴛney engines positioned on 28 wheels, and two identical fuselages. What is the overall weight of it? It’s  580 tonnes. The Stratolaunch uses a runway just like any other aircraft for takeoff and landing, but having the largest wingspan in the world. One or more launch vehicles are deployed as soon as it reaches its cruising altitude, which is roughly 10 kilometers. This enables the fast construction of constellations at different inclinations.

Airbus BelugaXL

The BelugaXL had its first real flight in 2020 after more than 200 test flights since its development in 2014. It is now officially a part of Airbus’ vast fleet, which now carries permitted Big Things all over the world. The plane is really large. It is 206 feet long and has the world’s largest cross section of any freighter. By use of two Rolls-Royce Trent 700 turbofan engines, the enormous aircraft is kept in the air.
