Mega Transports: The Antonov An-124 | Engineering Documentary
The biggest production cargo aircraft of all time, the An-124 has to deliver a 61-ton generator around the globe. But every job has its quirks…
A giant of the skies - the Antonov AN-124-100M-150. Worldwide the biggest production cargo aircraft of all time. Thirty-five years old and still highly sought-after in the transport sector. No aircraft can transport more goods than the Russian giant. At the height of the Cold War: an important means of national transport and prestige object for the Soviet Union. Today: it is in use all over the world and is the queen of international air transport.
Her latest mission: The Antonov An-124 is bringing a 61-ton generator 11,000 kilometers from England to South Korea. Normally a piece of cake. But every job has its quirks. The load manager and his team must make sure, that the ramp and the internal track system of the cargo freighter are positioned exactly - otherwise it would not be possible to load the generator safely.
The crew is under time pressure. The customer is paying about three hundred thousand Euros for the charter flight. And: every minute of delay costs more. Before it can be loaded, the steam generator has to pass special security screenings, before it is allowed at the cargo terminal.
On its way to Seoul, the An-124 must stop three times to fuel up and to check the status of the cargo. The cargo plane itself must also be thoroughly checked after every landing. The technicians make small repairs right at the gate. But after 4000 flight hours, a general overhaul is necessary. That means: about every 2 years, the Antonov planes must be thoroughly inspected. In this way, each plane can be used around the clock for up to 45 years.
The Antonov’s team doesn’t suspect that inadequate equipment and unprepared workers await them at their destination. The transport could very well end in disaster…

To all those arguing about Ruslan's national origin. Maiden flight: 24.12.1982. Before such state as Ukraine emerged. Chief designer: Viktor Tolmachev, born 1934 in Kursk (Russia). Production site: Ulyanovsk (Russia). This beast is a pinnacle of soviet engineering, and since soviet = russian (Russia is the only heir to USSR), the narrator got it right. The only Antonov aircraft that has any relation to Ukraine - is An-148 and its derivatives.

[@Leon0446]

Funny fact - at 1:21 the narrator calls it the “the Russian giant” but during a whole documentary is shown the plane colored in the Ukrainian color scheme with the Ukrainian flag on its side… of course, most of the planes that are produced ware manufactured & used in Russia, but development and design were in the Ukrainian USSR, on Antonov ASTC in Kyiv. That’s why it calls Antonov-124. PS: I’m not trying to set any ethnic dispute here - just showing the authors' lack of knowledge. In my opinion, it would be better if it would be called something like “the Soviet Giant” or "Giant from USSR" because it was in production & in service in both countries. And to make such a slip of the tongue in 2020 may lid to a lot of dislikes below this video as there's a 6 years conflict between those 2 countries. PPS: it is a great plane! Peace to everyone! :)

I've travelled quite a bit in Russia including the big technical universities in Siberia (East & West Siberia).

However, initiative and believe in that they 'can' are severely lacking; sadly. But the Antonov is a neat example of what russian know-how and determintation can do, if they dare to put it to good use. Greetings from Denmark

Antonov” serial production plant (Ukrainian: Серійний завод «Антонов»), formerly AVIANT (Ukrainian: АВІАНТ), is an aircraft manufacturing company in Kiev, Ukraine, the serial manufacturing division of the Antonov. “Antonov” serial production plant's office and industrial premises are located at the Sviatoshyn Airfield in Kiev, between the districts of Nyvky, Svyatoshyn, and Bilychi. History Ambox current red.svg This section needs to be updated. Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. (January 2013) “Antonov” production aircraft plant' was established by decision of the War Industry Council on September 9, 1920 under the name of "State Aircraft Plant 12" (GAZ-12). It consisted of small uncoordinated workshops and until the war was located on Garmatna Street. The plant performed overhaul of foreign aircraft models used by the military. It had no aerodrome of its own, and aircraft were tested at Post-Volynsky aerodrome (Kyiv International Airport (Zhuliany)). In 1922 the plant was renamed “Remvozdukh-6”. In 1925 the first domestic aircraft, the K-1, was designed and built under guidance of the designer Konstyantyn Kalinin. The maiden flight was July 26, 1925. In 1931 the plant was renamed “Plant 43”. In 1932 the facilities produced the first domestic gyroplane “4-EA” TSAGI. That same year, production of the first domestic high-speed 6-seater aircraft began, the KHAI-1. It had a speed of 324 km/h, a ceiling of 7000 m and a range of over 1000 km with a payload of up to 1000 kg. It was the first in European airplane with retractable landing gear. The maiden flight was on October 8, 1932 . A total of 43 KHAI-1 were manufactured. In 1937 the works manufactured the OKO-1. In 1939-1941 the facilities began assembly of MiG aircraft. When the plant was bombed on June 25, 1941, the works were evacuated to Novosibirsk, to V.P. Chkalov Facilities where it produced the fighters Yak-3, Yak-6 and Yak-9 designed by Alexander Sergeyevich Yakovlev. After Kiev was liberated from the Nazis, the plant was returned there, where until the end of the war it overhauled PO-2 aircraft and assembled Yak-3 and Yak-9 fighters from parts manufactured elsewhere. In 1944 the plant was renamed "Plant 473", or "Organization Mailbox 11". After the end of the war the plant was moved to the present location in Sviatoshin, which it had started to develop before 1941. In 1947-1948 the plant manufactured a pilot batch of five helicopters Mi-1 designed by Mikhail Mil, but the series production was transferred to another enterprise. In 1948 the works started production of the An-2, the ancestor of the great Antonov family, designed by Oleh Kostiantynovych Antonov. The plant produced 18 modifications of the An-2: transport, passenger, agricultural, water bomber for fighting forest fires, a version for fish shoals exploration, a version for scientific and rescue operations in Arctic conditions, etc. The “Aviant” plant manufactured 3,320 An-2s. Between 1954 and 1956 the Aviant produced the prototype of the military transport aircraft An-8, a twin-engine turboprop. It was the first of a long line of Antonov aircraft with high wings and rear loading cargo ramps. Between 1959 and 1978 the plant manufactured the An-24 (1,028 airplanes produced). It is in 1967 that the plant was renamed “Kiev Aircraft Plant”, or “Organization Mailbox M-5249”. From 1969 to 1985 the plant manufactured the transport An-26 (1,402 airplanes produced). In 1973 an aerial photography aircraft was produced, the An-30 (123 airplanes produced). On April 30, 1974 the plant was renamed once again to be baptised “Kiev Aviation Production Association”. Between 1976 and 1979 the plant manufactured a pilot batch of the An-72 (5 airplanes produced). Series production of the An-72 was transferred to Kharkiv facilities, and “Aviant” was charged with mastering production of the unique An-124 "Ruslan", the world's biggest aircraft. Between 1979 and 2004 the plant produced 19 An-124s. Since 1979 the plant has been manufacturing the An-32 (as of May 1, 2004, 361 had been produced. From 1985 to 1988 the plant participated in the manufacture of parts for the An-225 "Mriya", designed to carry the shuttle Buran. Yet, as the space program was suspended, only one An-225 "Mriya" was produced. On August 5, 1992 the plant was yet again renamed “National Enterprise Kiev Aviation Plant” before being renamed on August 27, 1995 to “Kyiv Aviation Plant Aviant” and in 2010 to its present name “Antonov Serial Produ
