Today we have a look at the Antonov 225 inside the largest Airplane. Normal planes are absolutely amazing, but the largest airplane in the world is just on another level and very popular for planespotting. That's why we decided to show you the Antonov 225 inside view, including the Antonov 225 cockpit as well as the Antonov 225 cargo space and how the loading cargo process works. In our Antonov 225 documentary, we are also having a look at how the biggest airplane in the world is able to takeoff and land safely and why the airplane needs so many wheels to land properly. If you are interested in a freighter or just general aviation, make sure to watch the video till the end to find out some interesting facts about why the Antonov can not land on every airport around the world. While normal aircraft only need a pilot and a co-pilot, this airplane does have a very large crew, do you know how many people it takes to operate this Airplane? Tell us in the comments below!
Did you not do any research on how the Buran or the US Space Shuttle worked?! Neither one of them were launched to orbit from an aircraft. The airplanes used were only to transport and test the vehicles, not to launch them to orbit. Also, the Buran didn't "fail miserably," the Soviet Union collapsed and it lost funding. The vehicle itself passed its tests just fine and many would say was a better design than the US Space Shuttle.
The US space shuttle was not launched from an airplane. It was only transported by the modified 747. They released it from the plane for glide and landing testes but was NEVER going to be sent into space from the 747. For starters there is no fuel! The Soviets were using it for transport of their orbiter as well. Also the 225 would show up the US C-5 heavy transporter. They planned to use the 225 to carry all sorts of military cargo, including redeployment of mobile ballistic missiles. A one up to the US proposal to have mobile launchers on trains so they could not be easily targeted.
