I think the TU-160 is also the largest plane with variable wing geometry. Fascinating plane, no question. Some of these collossal birds look really good, but others then are quite unusual or straight WEIRD. Though i LOVE the Guppy. It´s cute. From afar.

[@bricefleckenstein9666]

Is the TU-160 bigger than the B-1? Would be those two for the first 2 spots, then the F-111 then the F-14 I suspect - though I think one of the Soviet fighters might have been as big as the F-14.

[@sim.frischh9781]

@@bricefleckenstein9666 Yes, according to Wikipedia, the TU-160 is larger, though i couldn't find the bomb load for the B-1, the BlackJack has 40 metric tons. I am however quite certain that the Lancer is overall the superior plane. And i'm European, so no US patriotism boasting here.

All-in-all, a great video, however, at 18:30 - It's stated that the C5 Galaxy was used to transport the [retired] Space Shuttle. The C5 was never used to transport the space shuttle; it was considered, but never used for that role. Instead, modified Boeing 747s were the only aircraft ever used for that role; two were converted for that purpose...

I KNEW IT

[@johnmininger7472]

[@suzyqualcast6269]

Saw one, with the six engines flying over Calke Abbey, Derbyshire, 🇬🇧, in 01/02, whilst visiting with my two children. Id never seen anything like it, as it lumbered overhead. From its low height i guessed it may have taken off from East Midlands airport. Now I'm not so sure, but said aircraft - definitely ! 😉

The owner of the company I worked for at the time had a side hustle, owning 3 planes housed in a separate hangar for charter flights. We often used them to fly down to our other main office in Atlanta. That hangar was next to what I believe were maintenance hangars where I saw it parked on a return flight from Atlanta. It was a same day return flight and it was not there when we had left early that morning.

[@lucassanchez5560]

Yea that triple decker airplane looks rad!! It would be awesome if instead of 6 jet it would have 4 jet engines and 2 propellers that generate power for the electronics(at the edges of the wing so it can safely be made to stop due to any failures and it won't mess up the mainframe). Also adding a fuse to the network electronics and have a centered electric system on another fuse just incase of any remote attacks would help the pilot in such incidents. The "Blackbox" always captures everything so there shouldn't be a problem.

[@bricefleckenstein9666]

I'm pretty sure the only aircraft to combine both prop and turbojets engines was the B-36 in it's later versions. I'm not counting turboprops of course in that statement.
