Largest Plane in the World

Largest Plane in the World:

The An-225 is quoted as having a maximum takeoff weight of over 1.3 million pounds (600,000 kg). The FAI gives credit for a slightly lower weight of 1.12 million pounds (508,200 kg), the record set by an An-225 in 1989 for the largest mass ever lifted by an airplane to an altitude of 6,500 ft (2,000 m).

The An-225 was originally built to ferry the Soviet Buran space shuttle but it is now used to transport various outsize cargos. Only one example was ever completed, and it is currently available for charter flights. The An-225 is a cargo transport only and has never been used as an airliner.

World’s First Flying Ornithopter

World’s First Flying Ornithopter:
Canadians have constructed ornithopter, an aircraft that flies by flapping its wings. Engineering PhD candidate at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies Todd Reichert has finally achieved a feat that has eluded humanity’s finest engineers since the time of Leonardo da Vinci who sketched a machine, powered by a human pilot’s muscles. He has even piloted this machine making it flying 19.3 seconds, and covering a distance of 145 meters at an average speed of 25.6 kilometers per hour.

The ornithopter’s name is the “Snowbird”. It is constructed mainly from wire, carbon fiber, and wood. Its weight is only 94lb (42 kilograms) despite having a 105-foot wingspan comparable to that of a Boeing 737. Its pilot powers the flapping wings by pedaling like a cyclist, one of the most efficient ways to generate energy using the human body.

Mother Russia: still in love with the “Wing-in-Ground” effect
When we prepared Part 1 of Ekranoplan Showcase, we could not fit all the great material on one page, so consider this as an addendum to the fascinating subject of Soviet ekranoplans – a beast born during the Cold War and still employed today by the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia.
Here is a fantastic picture of how this technology may have looked in a heavily armed edition:
