Antonov An-225, Soviet-made aircraft is, able to take off with a total weight (including the weight of the aircraft) up to 600,000 kg. So far there is no other aircraft capable of flying with a load of it. These advantages complement the strengths size or dimensions of the fuselage geometry An-225, and confirms it as the biggest aircraft still in operation. For comparison Airbus A380 (erbesar passenger aircraft at the moment) with MTOW (maximum take-off weight or maximum weight at take-off) for 560,000 pounds
The size and carrying capacity An-225 is an implementation of the original mission aircraft nicknamed it "Mriya" (Ukrainian which means inspiration) it. An-225 aircraft is designed to be a spaceship launchers Soviet Union, Buran. To be able to perform these operations mission, An-225 is required to have certain specifications, especially the large carrying capacity. Successful design process make it happen. The size and geometry of the fuselage angkutnya allows the aircraft to fly a plane carrying Buran on the fuselage or fuselage. Ability was shown in the An-225 flew in the arena of exhibition Paris Airshow in 1989.
However, an unexpected development success designing menggiringi An-225 built. Disintegration of the Soviet Union resulted Buran space program was discontinued in 1993. Affected by these developments, An-225 had to be grounded or not operating. More unfortunate lag, then, becomes a victim cannibalization components, engine removed to be installed in the aircraft An-124. These conditions lasted for almost seven years, before finally in 2000 a new decision.
Back operated
Operation of the back plane An-225 Antonov Airlines started when the need for a large cargo carriers. Carrying capacity An-225 is considered to meet those needs. So the plane for several years just parked in the hangar to be upgraded, re installed the engine and made modifications to the aircraft cargo. After undergoing re-certification process in May 2001, the operating license for the An-225 was issued.
The first commercial operation endured An-225 was flying from Stuttgard, Germany, to Thumrait, Oman, in January 2002. In these flights transported weighing 187.5 tons of food to the United States military forces in the Middle East. Successful first flight operations An-225, was flown to a variety of other operations. Even the flagship aircraft for transporting large equipment is unlikely to be transported through the air, like a locomotive or generators weighing 150 tons. Since 2003 An-225 is also operated to support humanitarian mission in Iraq, among other things, flying a variety of heavy equipment to reach hundreds of tons in total.
An operating schedule densely-225 as guidance existence and role of urgency plane. This was indicated by the Antonov Airlines push to complete it resolved An-225 aircraft abandoned the cessation of the project along with the Buran space. Scheduled for completion the second plane An-225 will be completed in 2008.
