World's Heaviest Aircraft! Antonov An-225 Mriya Stunning Take Off from Toronto Pearson Airport

Hello everyone,
Here is the world's heaviest aircraft, the mighty Antonov An-225 rocketing off of RWY 06L on a beautiful morning. The aircraft was flying back to China via Anchorage. The An-225 flew in the day before to bring in medical supplies related to COVID-19. Something really good came out of this awful pandemic.
Unfortunately, this marvel of an aircraft was sadly destroyed in the Ukrainian invasion of 2022. My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Ukraine during this extremely difficult time.

My grandfather died in early 90's, when I was 3 yo. He worked as an engineer on the Antonov plant in Kyiv city, Ukraine. His job was design and layout of appliances in the cockpit. "Mriya" (in Ukrainian "The Dream") was a secret project, nobody was allowed to talk about it outside the plant, even with their families. Dad told me that one day Grandpa came from work with burning eyes and said they are going to build something absolutely stunning. These were the only words he was allowed to say to his wife and kids. And it was true. An-225 even in 2020 strikes people's imagination. Somewhere in the cockpit there is part of soul and hard work of my grandfather. Proud and grateful to my grandfather and other Ukrainian and Soviet engineers, designers and plant workers. R.I.P. Grandpa, your Dream still flies!

Only 1 was ever built and we just saw it take off, so it has never been involved in a serious accident. Probably just being safe because it is big enough to take out half a city if something does happen, plus people on those trucks just wanting to see it take off as close as possible.

[@06fz1000]

Was lucky enough to fuel this beast in Tulsa, OK on it's way to Texas with oilfield equipment. We had to line up our 5,000 gallon trucks one after the other (we had 3) and as soon as we moved off straight back to the fuel farm and then back to the aircraft. I think it took something like 60,000 gallons or about 400,000 POUNDS OF FUEL. The flight mechanic (and everyone else onboard) only spoke Ukrainian and broken English and the fuel control panel was in Russian. It was a trip.

Why were the tail fins of the plane shaking before the take off ??? =4:32

[@Syntex366]

That could just be an illusion because of hot exhaust from the engines, but it wouldn’t be surprising if it was wobbling a bit, because it was the most colossal plane we ever built. When you get that large it doesn’t matter how tightly you fasten stuff together or how sturdy a support structure you make, there’s gonna be some natural flex, especially when it’s something like a wing, which is a lot of weight hanging outwards from a single point of support and incurring aeroforces. For example, If you put a camera at the front of any jumbo passenger jet that could view down the entire length, you’d notice the plane slightly flex up and down at each end as it moves and flies. This doesn’t mean the craft is unsafe, it’s plenty sturdy and won’t rip itself apart, this just happens, is all. We also sometimes utilize this, in the case of the B-52 bomber, we had to build it with “loose wings” that allowed for some extra flex because the wingspan was so incredibly large that it incurred a ton of lift, which the further you go out on the wing, is far more taxing on the airframe. if they had attempted to make them too sturdy, they would’ve ripped themselves apart in flight because the aeroforces would overcome the structural integrity and rip the wings off the hull. The springy flex to the wings prevented this from happening by helping to disperse that energy to a manageable extent.
