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

[@АртемКириенко-у7у]

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!

For example, there are some flying creatures that according to our understanding of aerodinamics design should not been flying, but heck, those birds flap their wings and are masters of the skies. So you see, is not only wings, turbines or design. There are physical laws that come in to play to allow a man made machine to take to the air even if we do not fully understand those laws.
