History: The An-225 Mriya Ukrainian: Антонов Ан-225 Мр?я, NATO reporting name: Cossack is a strategic airlift transport aircraft which was built by Antonov, and is the worlds largest flying airplane ever built by the most commonly accepted measure [1], maximum gross takeoff weight. The design, built to transport the Buran orbiter, was an enlargement of the successful An-124 Ruslan. Mriya Мр?я means dream inspiration in Ukrainian. With a maximum gross weight of 640 tonnes 1,411,000 lb , the An-225 is the worlds heaviest and largest aircraft. The Hughes H-4 Hercules, known to most as the Spruce Goose, had a greater wingspan and a greater overall height, but is considerably shorter, and due to its lighter building materials, also lighter. In addition, the Hercules only flew once and not very high, making the An-225 the largest aircraft in the world to take off multiple times. The An-225 is also larger than the Airbus A380 airliner, and considerably bigger than the Antonov An-124, 747-400ERF, C-5 Galaxy, the nearest equivalent heavy airlifters. In November 2004, FAI placed the An-225 in the Guinness Book of Records for its 240 records.
