Largest Plane Ever Built May Have Been Destroyed, Ukraine Foreign Minister Says
SFGate reports:The largest plane ever built has been destroyed at an airport outside Kyiv, Ukraine Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba said Sunday.... The Antonov An-225 Mriya was built in Ukraine in 1985 when the nation was still controlled by the Soviet Union. It has six turbofan engines and is the heaviest aircraft ever built. It was created as a strategic airlift cargo craft, carrying Soviet space orbiters, but was later purchased by Antonov Airlines. It's since been used to airlift oversized cargo and large loads of emergency aid during natural disasters.... Although Kuleba's tweet confirmed the plane's demise, Antonov says it is still gathering information on the massive plane's fate.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
