Antonov 225 Mriya Departs Manchester Airport, 26th June 2013

Antonov 225 (UR-82060) finally leaves Manchester Airport after being delayed 24 hours. The huge aircraft is seen departing runway 23L on Wednesday 26th June 2013. The aircraft certainly pulled the crowds in. Just before the Antonov crosses onto runway two, Thomson 787 Dreamliner, G-TUIC lands on 23R.
The Antonov 225 is currently the largest aircraft in the world.

[@D800Lover]

Planes this big, when taking off, seems to defy gravity - I never cease to find that amazing.

[@roseynick]

I agree, it can't be anything else but magic haha

[@D800Lover]

roseynick The bigger the plane, the greater the optical illusion - but I remind myself that the air under the wing is heavier/denser than the plane. We think of air as being 'nothing' and yet I read that the air pressure on an average adult male is equal to a ton and our bodies are equalizing that pressure from the inside, and if we were to find ourselves in a vacuum, like space, we would virtually explode from the inside out... what a piece of trivia to start the day... lol. But air is HEAVY MAN!

People don't realize how big this honker really is. It dwarfs a 747. It is the largest airplane in operation today. Believe it or not, the infamous spruce goose is still bigger. Not as powerful, not given the piston driven engines of the day, but still larger in wingspan. Believe it or not, Rolls Royce Aircraft makes a jet engine big enough that one could power this thing. They would never do that, but it could. Two would be the minimum they'd ever use for saftey reasons.

[@theproblemischoice2820]

Sergey Tarasov голова, а в каком месте я чушь написал? погугли буран+мрия.

[@sergeytarasov8319]

Юрий Комбаров Ок. Отвечу развернуто: 1. "Мрия" действительно имеет непосредственное отношение к проекту "Буран", т.к. разрабатывалась в то же время для транспортировки самого челнока и частей ракеты-носителя к месту запуска. Также, ее задачей была переброска челнока на базу в случае его посадки на вспомогательные аэродромы. 2. Для того, чтобы вывести челнок на орбиту, требуется топливо объемом, превышающим объем самого челнока. Надеюсь, ты не считаешь, что он внутри больше, чем снаружи? ) А если без иронии - запасы топлива на борту челнока минимальные: лишь для ориентации на орбите и торможения для схода с орбиты. Посадка челнока - и "Бурана" и "спейс-шаттлов" - происходит в планирующем режиме без тяги, то бишь, без помощи двигателей, сюрприз! Хотя, это и нетривиальная задача, конечно же, ведь по сути из шаттла планер немногим лучший, чем из брошенного утюга. Однако ж, садился... 3. Но даже если представить, что Гарри Поттер заколдовал наш "Буран" и внутрь него теперь помещается нужный объем топлива и двигатели необходимой мощности - как ты себе представляешь взлет аппарата, прикрепленного на "спину" самолета без разрушения самолета-носителя? Сразу расстрою: если ты подсмотрел это в сериале "Агенты S.H.I.E.L.D." - это фантастический сериал, по комиксам, там все не по-настоящему. В реальной жизни аппараты сбрасывают с подвеса и их двигатели включаются на безопасном расстоянии. Почему так развернуто и едко? Потому что, если бы люди по-настоящему интересовались разными вещами и читали бы о них - в интернете было бы куда меньше таких вот умничающих "специалистов", пишущих "буран это как челноки". Да и слова "беспилотник" и "как там" они писали бы без ошибок, не говоря уже о знаках препинания. Задолбали неучи. Спасибо за внимание.

Olexanderko Антонов полностью украинский проект?)))Тебе фамилия Антонов ни о чём не говорит?Или что бы открыть википедию уже интеллект хотя бы ниже среднего нужен?Руководитель проекта и главный конструктор Ан 225 В.И. Толмачёв! P.S.Разработки велись под Киевом только потому,что летом 1952 года по приказу Сталина ОКБ перебазировалось в Киев из Новосибирска.

Did anyone else notice the tail of the aircraft shaking when it was getting ready to take off? The power of the engines was causing the tail to shake!

Anyone who thinks that this plane is created in Ukraine, he is very much mistaken! The plane is designed and made ​​in the USSR! Ukraine after the collapse of the USSR got ocheno much, but they all destroyed ... sorry ....

[@alexnikotyn]

Евгений Грозный В России кроме нефти и газа вообще ничего не производят, а то что осталось им после распада союза давно развалили и пропили. А им, между прочим, досталось все(!), все активы СССР. Все страны кроме Украины согласились с этим "нулевым вариантом", никому ничего не нужно было, лишь бы отчалить от этих мудаков. Стоит выехать из Москвы и становится очевидным кому все это досталось, а кто остался без штанов, глушит водочку с медведями под балалайку. Есть нации и народы, проживающие в пустыне, где небыло даже воды и они там себе построили рай, а этим досталось все, и природные ресурсы, и все добытое союзом, и просторы, и чего они достигли? Процветания? Не похоже. Процветает верхушка, а остальные прозябают, пашут, жалуются на дураков, дороги и кортежи с олигархами, не понимая что они сами дураки и есть. Поэтому все эти выпады в сторону Украины - это все жалкая попытка уничижить нас, на них можно реагировать только снисходительно, советую так и поступать )

[@bushwhakked]

Antonov was born in the Ukraine 1906. His company's main complex was in Kiev The plane was developed in and first flew from Kiev which was then Ukrainian SSR, It joined the UN as an original member on 24 October 1945, together with the USSR. Sounds Ukrainian to me.

[@bushwhakked]

And yet they were an orginal member in the UN as a separate entity from USSR since 1945. Sounds like a country to me. Looks like you get your facts from butthurtrussian.com

[@sniperlif3]

Sorry read the facts on the Antonov An-225 Mriya. It was designed and created in the Antonov Design Bureau (HQ in Kiev, Ukraine). Yes, it was designed to shuttle the russian space shuttle "Buran" but no Russian payed Ukraine to design and build it. Then the Buran got canceled. Know your facts.

Hope they rebuild at least one with all the uptodate avionics.

Antonov AN 225 Mriya is the biggest plane in existence

[@rickdavis3593]

Wrong...the H-4 Hercules (Spruce Goose) is the biggest plane in existence.

[@EternalFringeDweller]

The H-4 Hercules flew once. Distance: just over one mile. Duration: 26 seconds. Maximum altitude: 70 feet. 71 years ago. Estimated maximal payload: 68.2 tons, which was never tested. The Antonov 225 was built in 1980 and is still in commercial use today. One of its contracts was, ironically, to airfreight 216,000 prepared meals, weighing 187.5 tons from Stuttgart, Germany, to American military personnel based in Oman. Still, you have reason to be proud. The useless goose has the biggest wingspan of any aircraft ever built.

[@Samurai-Kit]

Now Ukrainian "Mriya" works hard 24/7 for Covid-2019 medical cargo for Europe and US, together with smaller Antonov-124.
