The Antonov An-225 Mriya had some truly remarkable features: 📌 Massive Payload Capacity- It could carry up to 250 metric tons of cargo, making it the largest cargo aircraft in terms of maximum payload. 📌 Six Engines- It was powered by six powerful Progress D-18T turbofan engines, each providing 51,000 pounds of thrust. 📌 Dual Landing Gear- It featured 32 wheels in its landing gear system, distributed across 4 bogies, which allowed it to handle extremely heavy loads and rough runways. 📌 High Maximum Takeoff Weight: The An-225 had a maximum takeoff weight of around 640 metric tons, making it one of the heaviest aircraft ever built. 📌 Heavy Lift Capability: The An-225 could transport oversized cargo, including large machinery, industrial equipment, and even other aircraft. However, the An-225 was unfortunately destroyed during the conflict in Ukraine in 2022! #didyouknow #cargoplane #cargo #machinery #aircraft #shipping #freight #globaltrade #ukraine #russia #antonov
