Ukraine will put in all the efforts needed to resurrect Mriya, the Antonov An-225, the world’s largest cargo plane that was destroyed during the ongoing conflict in the country. President Volodymyr Zelensky has called it a “matter of ambition” that the aircraft is rebuilt, Interfax-Ukraine reported.
Not only was Mriya the world’s largest cargo plane, but also happened to be the only such plane ever built. Designed to carry heavy loads such as the Soviet-era Space Shuttle, Mriya was 275 feet long, and at 290 feet, it had an even longer wingspan. To do the heavy-lifting, the aircraft was equipped with six turbofan engines, each capable of producing 51,600 pounds of thrust at takeoff.
