I actually got to see this thing in person, up close and personal when I was kid here in Connecticut,USA at Bradley International Airport/ BDL. HUUUUUUUGE! Still have photos of myself next to it(back in those days(early 90's) they still let people touch things and look inside and do walk throughs w/o "terrorist" fears.
It never flew, but was just in ground-effect mode as is rised above water. However with this Hughes proved it probably could fly for real with a little more modifications.
@tochkalounge86 This is the biggest plane ever built. There is only one fully built and in operation in the world which is used to carry oversized cargo -- like the space shuttle.
@chunky975 Is this Antonov 225 larger then The Spruce Goose built by Howard Hughes? The Spruce Goose did fly under power for a short distance (8 ropeller engines). A DC -10 can fit under each wing!
@johng669 Is that the hercules by any chance? It is taller and has a larger wingspan but is lighter and shorter and also only had one flight so it is bigger in some aspects but the Antonov is the biggest ever with multiple flights (according to wikipedia)
@amarpilot--great vid. I too will never forget the take off I witnessed on one of these many years ago--never thought it would rotate. BTW what is the music during the opening?
@TomN755 wow. have you ever heard of the H-4 hurcules? it was built from spruce wood becase of material shortage between 1942 and 1947. Howard hughs designed it and funded it but i'm told it's still the biggest plane to date. is that true? it has a wingspan of 97.54 metres. it was also designed to carry 750 fully equiped troops to battle! it only flew once though. then howard hughs went crazy.
@TheOneMetallica1 Hi. we were talking about Josh Groban.the singer? he tweeted about this on twitter, that's why we were talking about him. because without his tweet we wouldn't know about the video. hope that solved the mystery for you.
Seems like the rear wheels hit the tarmac first when landing. It must be that those wheels are constantly rotated, and changed out before the front wheels on the entire Rack!
@amarpilot it is 100% Russian Plane ...how Old are you??? 10? The Company is a Russian, and they just do it with die Ukrain cooperation, they do this in every company!" even Europe ore the USa, what you talking are fror bullshit? ANTONOV IS 100% RUSSIAN. sorry broo but you need some informations, so get in to the School!"
Well, im 19 to get started, but anyway, in the sovjet time it may be russian. But its still designed by the Antnonov bureau which is Ukrainian. Its name Mriya (Мрія) means dream in Ukrainian. So, yeah in my opinion its a Ukrainian airplane. And allot of people agree with me. Several documentaries call it Ukrainian to.
@amarpilot And iam russian this is a sowjet product not a Ukraine!" so dont forget was it is, i think you are from USA ore England ...only this nations have now Brains
@FalloutRadius MY Good it is becorse its flight for the Ukrain, in Russia we a Jet he Flight with the Russian Flag, and also belarus have won with the Belarus Flag, but ok, you a Child, i forgive you!
@19834883 I think you need to go to school. Look at how horrible your spelling is. Also why are you putting random quotation marks after your exclamation marks?
@amarpilot i think you are totaly Brainwashed, go and Read how whas the Designer from the 225 ..Developers who were the? All Russian, how build them that was Russian Ukrain Mongol Tatar Usbek Kasach and lots more People, like in Germany AUDI its a German Car, but they work a lot of turkeys and poland overthere BUT, its dosent mater how Work over there, the ONly Quetion is "who invented it who was the designer" And those were all Russians! Thats Fakts you cant ignore that. you talking Bullshit"
@19834883 , sigh, you are missing my point. Fact remains is, Antonov is classified as a Ukranian design bureau, It carries a Ukrainian name, it carries the Ukrainian flag. I think what is wrong here, is that you are stuck in time, many years ago when Ukraine was still part of the Sovjet. But now, it has been documented as a Ukrainian designed airplane, so stfu or something.
@amarpilot Now Listen, YOU ARE BRAINWASHED!" The Antonov An-225 was designed for the Soviet space program as a replacement for the Myasishchev VM-T. Able to airlift the Energia rocket's boosters and the Buran space shuttle. its Build by Russian, Former operator was the CCCP Designer Russian, Build by Russians, so go back to the Kindergarden"!
@Kingfordian22 The Next Kiddy its MADE IN THE CCCP And What was the CCCP?```??? Right it was Russia, It was also RUSSIAN INVENTORS. NOW!" They are a Ukrainian Company, BUT it was first a Russian, so how was frist??? THE RUSSIANS
@elnarelvin well essentially, I think it's a soviet design, because was designed in the CCCP times... now belongs to Ukraine but... in fact the technology is not ukranian only.
You're lucky to see one of those close up! I don't know anyone who's seen one. BTW, how many passengers could that thing hold if it was a passenger jet? 500? 750?
Ukranian: Myria, though because at the time the AN124 was the largest plane in the world (before the AN225 was built), NATO code named the Antonov AN124-Ruslan "Condor" after the largest bird, when Antonov took the 124 and made it bigger to form the AN225, NATO applied the name COSSACK.
Like NASA's 747 shuttle ferry aircraft, the Antonov AN225 can carry the Buran on its back
