Ok, now I’m officially jealous! I would love to see this plane take off in person. How fortunate you were to actually be able to check her out Up close. My favorite plane is the B 52 Stratafortress. I live right next to Barksdale Air Force Base which is their home. That is one beautiful bird! I wonder how these two compare in size and take off. 😎

Dude Concorde is a joke to you

@@techyrock I actually fueled the Concorde as well in 1998 at Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix. Got to go up on the plane and check it out for a few minutes. The 225 was way, way more impressive.

@@pambb5743 B52 is one aircraft I've never seen up close. I have fueled tons of C-5s, C-17s ect. The C-5 is comparable, I guess... But the 225 still dwarfs it.

@@pleasuretokill well if by impressive you mean gigantic then yes it looks majestic as 747 did back in 70's bringing Concorde up I meant obviously many factors about it, The Nose,The way it took off,I bet it must have been more louder compared to 225 ,and not to forget the sonicboom the bang it created hitting mach 2 that was so loud they had to do it off continent ,just watch a video of that here on KZfaq Antonov is marvelous it would have been even more back in 70's where airliners were about bringing smth new to table Which gave Jumbo the title for Queen of skies person lined up side by side 747,a380 and 225 the 747 is most intimidating I don't know but there is that smth about that plane and this factor I like about 225 except for its tires and wing placement but then again they had to consider weight factor and low profile

that we have, may the majestic sky-whale forever fly the heavens in our hearts

She'll be back.

thank you and your welcome ;-) greetings sandro

that's not really new information, that's pretty much the case with every aircraft

Oh yeah! This is ballet, this is an art! .. Thx!

Mamt Patet as soon as the wheels leave the ground, the wings hold all the weight. So the body of the plane is basically hanging from the wings now

wings does not straighten with lift... it is a cambered wing which you need to be at an angle of attack even at non-flight. In order to generate lift and to continue to generate lift you need to be at a certain lift coefficient, Cl. You need maximum thrust at takeoff to generate enough lift to get if off the ground and at cruise you need your lift and weight to be balanced or at equilibrium, like I said, with a cambered wing you're at an angle of attack which helps maintain equilibrium at lift to weight ratio at cruise level....

Compare a B-52. 17' flex

@@VenomVLNTY Yap!

@@VenomVLNTY and ukrainian ssr was part of ussr=plane is built in ussr)

It hasn't been destroyed, only the front was damaged. Plus there going to rebuild it. In comparison to other aircraft at the airport during the attack, the 225 got off lightly

@@jhorrorfan2116 You haven't seen the pictures, have you? The airframe is entirely mangled, to "repair" the plane you'd essentially be building an entirely new one. You might be able to reuse one of the wings. Might.

@@RandomPerson8492 not all the plane were destroyed, at least 35%, so is much expensive buid one from zero, so i think is more effective rebuild damage parts and the front

But ANTONOV is a PURE RUSSIAN FAMILY NAME. The guy's name who designed this plane was ANTONOV and he WAS RUSSIAN

@@macrusmail General Secretaries Khrushchev and Brezhniev also had the Russian surnames, but were born in Ukraine and considered themselves as Ukrainians. As well as there are 10 mln persons of Russian origin in Ukraine, but that doesn't mean that they are Russians - most 90% of them were born and live in Ukraine and consider themselves as Ukrainians. Almost 5 mln of Ukrainians have the Polish surnames - but it is impossible to call them Poles as their ancestors live on Ukraine since 17 centur. In the Soviet Union the nationality didn't have any matter, there was a term "Soviet citizen" and the course to unite all the nations of the USSR to one Soviet nation. The Kiev aviamechanic plant and Antonov constr.bureau were in Kiev (ukr. Kyiv), Ukrainian SSR. As well as most of workers, engineers were also Ukrainians, but there also were many Jews, Russians and other nationalities. The half of industries of the USSR were in Ukrainian SSR. So many people from other Soviet republics went to work to Ukraine. The problem of Russians is that they want to gain all awards to Russia forgeting other nationalities. For example, in Russia Putin likes to say that Russians won the World War 2. That is a pure Russian propaganda to make a myth that only Russians won a war. But nobody says that during liberation of Europe from Nazi in 1944-1945 the number of Russians and Ukrainians in Red Army in Europe was almost 50%/50%. But of course there were also many other nationalities - Jews, Belaruses, Kazakhs, Tartars, Mordovians, Uzbeks, Georgians and others

Мистер ЧЕСТЕР mmpffff.... there was no land called as USSR? So who held the permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council until 1991? Apparently, my memory deceives me....

@@VenomVLNTY which happened to be recognized as a country - and a powerful one at that - with the name of USSR until its collapse. I understand you do not like the fact that there was a USSR, and the way it behaved at the time. That's OK. Other people don't like other countries. Plenty of people don't like the US. Denying, then, that there is a country called the US, or insisting that there has been no country called the USSR, is an entirely different matter. I don't like raisins in my cake. But drawing the conclusion, because of my dislike, that raisins don't exist - if I did so - would do nothing but expose me as intellectually immature.

@@VenomVLNTY Fuck off, stop runing everybody's enjoyment.

@@VenomVLNTY Not exactly. The An-225 parts were built in different parts of the USSR (Tashkent, Moscow, Ulyanovsk etc.) - The final assembly was in Kiev at Gostomel.

There's nothing about physics that makes this seem impossible. Make it proportionally larger, and any size aircraft can fly.

Everything can fly as long as you put a big enough engine on it (see the F-4 aka "Flying Brick")

elscientist Also Boeing tested their 747-8F; it flew with one million pounds of "Cargo".

Nice comment so far, but there is a correction required: the take off maximum weight of the 225 is not 683.00 lbs but something about 600 metric tons. The respective equivalent is some 1.320.000 lbs!

ArthurSixx Never ever! The TOWmax of the 747-8F is about 987.000 lbs, so the cargo definitely can´t be "one million pounds". Prospective payload capacity (not yet tested to its end) is appr. 300.000+ lbs. So please don´t claim things you have no clue about...

***** Not necessarily! You can make any cupboard fly by mounting powerful engines on it. Some indefinite non aerodynamic surface will be enough for it. See also knife edge flight without using any wings.

The largest and king of the sky

agree.

The size is just crazy

It may, especially empty or half full.

That would be a one of a kind landing.
