Antonov An-225 Mriya
The only one ever built — and the largest aircraft that ever flew
Tail number UR-82060
Retired. This one lives in the history books now.
The story
Only one was ever finished. Six engines, thirty-two wheels, and a fuselage built to carry the Soviet space shuttle on her back — a job that ended before it started, so she spent thirty years hauling the heaviest things anyone needed moved anywhere on Earth. Russian forces destroyed her in her hangar at Hostomel on the first days of the 2022 invasion.
She holds the record for the heaviest single piece of cargo ever flown: a generator of nearly 190 tonnes.
