Antonov An-225 - The Once World's Largest Aircraft | Heavy Lift | Free Documentary
Heavy Lift - An-225: The Antonov Dream | Engineering Documentary
Manufacturing an Airbus A350: • Giant Aircraft: Manufa...
The Antonov An 225 Myra was the world's largest plane, and only one example was ever built. Exclusively filmed in the Antonov factory in Kiev, this documentary tells the story of the development of the aircraft on the basis of the worlds second largest plane, the An 125. The Myra was built to carry Russia's version of the Space shuttle - the Buran. All this of course before the break-up of the Soviet Union.
The program features exciting walk-around footage of the Mrya and interviews with the engineers who built it. We take the viewer back to the days when carrying military equipment far and fast was the key to success in a potential third world war. That conflict never happened but since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of an independent Ukraine, the Antonov desiogn bureau and factory, and Antonov Airlines company have provided some of the most impressive transport over the last decade, contracted by governments to move emergency relief supplies, military equipment and industrial parts.

😊 Glad that your chanel make a crative documentary , world massive cargo carry " Elephant " From 🇱🇰 Srilanka
Unfortunately, friends, this plane is already history, you are too late with the video. Ukrainian defense industry concern Ukroboronprom reported that as of the morning of February 24, 2022, the aircraft was under repair and maintenance work at the Antonov Company site in Gostomel, one of the engines was removed for repairs, and the aircraft could not fly out on that particular day, although the appropriate commands were given in conditions of an armed conflict with the Russian Federation. As a result, the aircraft, which was in a hangar at Gostomel airport, was destroyed during the fighting for Antonov airport. We don't have the Mriya anymore. 😭🇺🇦
Chill out folks! I'm pretty sure the Chinese have been in a mad dash scooping up talents like there's no tomorrow during the massive exodus caused by the commedian. Don't be flabbergasted if CN-225 showed up in a hood near you ...
We really hope that the war will end so soon May our Gaya be all wreathed in peace! Love from Algeria 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
So sad to hear she is gone :( She helped to build the infrastructure of many nations.
Fortunately they have second one, party built, in storage at Antonov that they might be able to use to get Mriya back into the sky.
Mriya means dream. We will rebuild it.
Ussr didnt was good. But now oh, poor, gone, dead, destroyed, we are sad...
@@rey6450 wtf do you mean? This plane was built by the Ussr, remember that
RIP the AN-225 "Mriya" The Dream of Antonov shall forever remain in the hearts of Avgeeks all over the world
@dry water it's not just a plane, it was the only one of this type and the biggest one
@@slumzur What? Whom are you replying to?

Rest in Piece to this beautiful aircraft...
What happen to the plane?...
@@mq2311 destroyed in Ukraine in its hanger by Russian forces
@@mq2311 it got destroyed by the Russian rockets in Ukraine and there's one such plane in the planet
@@uzairsunkad30 i am tired with the war....i got to know about this today...if Twin Tower can be history, why not the plane...they should've move plane to other country, instead leaving in Ukraine Airport....
@@uzairsunkad30 It got destroyed by ukrainian rockets.
I was able to walk aboard this aircraft when it flew into Paine field in Everett Washington when I was a kid. Unless you've been aboard you really don't realize how massive this aircraft was.... truly heartbreaking to hear of it's needless destruction.
They say they will rebuild it. Time estimate: 5-10 years. That's when, and if the war stops.
I took our son and a nephew to see it at Rickenbacker AFB. Definitely an incredible aircraft. Have also been aboard the Starlifters and Galaxys. The smaller C-130 (and AC-130), with a version of my grandfather's name, is still my favorite.
@@benjaminpreston5925 It cost a billion to rebuild it
A second unfinished An 225 is in storage, thus never say never. The "Dream" could surely live on...
I just read that they have plans to repair the extremely damaged plane
@@joelpriestley24 Who's "they"? Both planes are in Russian hands!
@@Desire123ification Antonov corporation. If the damaged aircraft or the unfinished airframe ever get recovered of course.
The technology is quite ancient. This video mentions how it is not environmentally friendly (not that this is too important for a one off like this). It might be more feasible for Boeing or Airbus to modify the B747 or A380 somehow as a mega carrier, or design a completely new aircraft for the task. The problem is that there is probably not a market for a fleet of them. To produce only one, or even a very small fleet, exponentially increases the design cost per aircraft. Maybe Antonov can combine the damaged plane and the second unfinished one and get the An-225 back in the air.
@@joelpriestley24 I don't know if you've seen pictures but it's not fixable.
Rest in peace, the giant of the sky !!! 🙏🙏🙏
Bro its just metal 🙄
@@rey6450 Its not just metal, ITS HISTORY
@@rey6450 Yes, we should be concerned about the war in Ukraine frist, but planes can still be important to us.
RIP Mriya ❤️
I love the fact that one of its pilots shares a surname as this beast
"Goodbye old friend. May the force be with you."
R.I.P. I never got to see Concorde and this Antonov flying with my own eyes. Always wanted to see it since I was 9 years old and saw the movie 2012.
i was sitting a red light in Winnipeg when this behemoth came over head preparing to land. thing was absolutely massive.
This iconic master peace aircraft need to be rebuild. I saw 2 an -124 in Leipzig airport Germany beautiful airplanes . Few weeks before the conflict begin. Those beautiful birds are need it. The air cargo is going to up in the next few years
Over middle of last year this aircraft was in my country.i was very happy to see such a very big large plane in the capital city of Accra Ghana 🇬🇭 ❤️🇬🇭
Osey Ghana 🇬🇭
RIP AN-225 MRIYA 💐
RIP Antonov An-225
amazing documentary
R.I.P AN225 "Mryia" Thanks for the documentary. The AN225 will never be forgoten, it will always be in all world's heart, and also in avgeeks heart's.
I was fortunate enough to see and get photos of this aircraft landing in Toronto in May of 2020.
RIP AN-225 you will be missed.
thank you very much for this documentary
Glad that your chanel make a crative documentary , world massive cargo carry " Elephant " From 🇱🇰 Srilanka
I miss the AN 225 and Rest in piece Myria you were my favourite plane in the world 🌍
Your favourite plane, but you even do not know real name? Wtf 🙄
Another quality documentary. Superb!!!!
She is not just a plane instead she is a desire ✨️ for many people all around the globe. So she could have been destroyed from our land but nit from our hearts 💕. Really I miss her 😔 very very much. But at the same time i believe atleast we have her younger sister who is still waiting for her time. So I believe in near future she will get a life so that we can bring back Mriya to life again 🤞. But always your my favorite 😍 Dear Mriya ♥️
Russia can make such aircraft. You can order.
@@VelikayaRusia stop your pro-Russia content. It’s not wanted here.
@@fluffy-fluffy5996 do you suffer from the truth?
@@VelikayaRusia The "truth" is that sure you can build such aircraft, but they aren't special, not nearly as special as the an-225, it was one of a kind. the truth is, russia shouldn't have started this war in the first place.
@@arpsichord7474 , the truth is that the war was provoked by the Anglo-Saxons - the USA and their henchmen
It’s a very beautiful beastly aircraft.
She's a true Queen of the sky by the people who fly and see her... Now she's gone because of a senseless war. Pain.
Rest in peace Mriya
... "up to a take off speed of over 850 km/h"... Im speechless xD
Some of the facts in this documentary... man oh man
Like the 747, the 225 can carry more than its own weight.
RIP Mriya 😢
Press F for respect.
Truly amazing at the amount of weight that plane could carry. Compared to Boeing and Airbus offering, it’s in a league of its own for sure.
Нет его больше и никогда не будет, а Дмитрий Антонов летал на нём до последнего
Tribute to ANTONOV AN225 MRIYA..
*Thanks for sharing informative video. Liked&Subcribed!!*
The Dream will fly again, there is an incomplete An-225 airframe in a hangar somewhere (if not destroyed yet)...
When it came to Chicago I missed it. I was saddened to hear of its destruction.
you will always be rememdered in our hearts a true engeniring feet
RIP...good dream😢
They had plenty of time and warning to get that bird in a safe location.
I guess they don't believe that Russia would invade.
How?? It was placed for service and maintenance for a long time and it was not in flying condition, they couldn't move it just like that. Really big loss...
@@georgivanev7466 For how long was it in maintenance?
It wasn't fit to fly. This is not a bus you can just drive and hope for the best
Ukrainians aren’t the smartest lol
She will fly again!!!!
Rip AN-225
Excellent video!!
RIP 😭 i remember it came to miami international airport
An excellent and informative video about probably the World's greatest aircraft ! Long live the AN-225 🥰 AND let's all hope and pray for peace sometime VERY soon between Russia & the Ukraine ! x x x
“Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
The new "Mriya" will rise again.
Most awaited video BOSS🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Thank you for your shareing. It`s agnoy for the loss of this biggest plane in the world no matter whoever destoried it. No more AN-225..R.I.P
My dream was shattered when the aviation instagram reported the ANTANOV was destroyed. I dream to watch this monstrous beast landing and depart in front of my own eyes!! Shattered dreams😖
RIP Mryia, saw this beast land in Toronto a few times.
Hope they rebuild myria
Miss u An-225
Same story with DC10 air ariana (cargo plane )
She's the QUEEN 👑 of the SKY
Nah that’s the 747. Sure, this thing was bigger, but the Jumbo will forever be the queen of the skies. It’s way more elegant than the 225 was, it was pretty ungainly.
I wonder what the average cost to freight something on this plane was.
RIP plane
I suspect Ukraine will rebuild it.
@@Christoph1888 They destroyed it.
@@supreme1xbet507 I know. There's apparently a half-built airframe somewhere and the resistance have vowed to rebuild it as a matter of Pride.
Rest in peace big girl
Would have been of more impact to show The remains as well...
R.I.P Antonov-225 one of the most beautiful engineering marvels in the world, hopefully Antonov industries will be able to build another one just like it or better in the near future, crossing fingers for the war in Ukraine to end as soon as possible. Peace and best of luck for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. ♥️
el avión era soviético, no ucraniano
@marioperez-tg7tx The plane was built in last year's of the Soviet Union, and the two engineers involved were Petro Balabuyev (lead design engineer, Ukranian) and Viktor Tolmachev (lead design engineer, Russian) under the umbrella of the Aeronautical Scientific Complex named after Oleg Antonov - Ukranian Aerospace Engineer (Antonov Co.) Founded in 1952 in Russia, but handed over to the Ukranian Defense Industry - Ukroboronprom in 2015. Based in Kyiv - Ukraine, Antonov is a proud Ukranian company with its headquarters based in Hostomel Airport - Kyiv (testing facility and cargo airport). An-225 displayed the Ukranian flag (Yellow and Blue stripes) for a reason.
Rip An-225. Hope one day you will be rebuilt. Enjoy your indefinite vacation with the little A380 now...
Rip you beautiful bird ❤️
850kmt take off speed Thats impressive.!
The space shuttle Buran still remain in Kazakhstan, so it can be restored too. Then when Mriya is restored it can be used for space tourism to the space station and other peaceful missions.
Wow 🥰❤️🙏
I can't imagine I had watched this documentary last year b4 this giant plane was destroyed. Sad sorry to ukraine
Good.
Imagine where we would be in technology with transportation if it weren't for war.
Technology never advances as fast as it does during war.
The ozone layer is breathing relief 😫.
like concord it has to be rebuilt it is one of a kind icon
Tinggal kenangan...
For me it’s hard to believe that something that big can fly. Just like huge ship made of iron can float.
There is no future, we already living in it
The people who destroyed it should be made to pay for completion of the partly built one. This should not be left to die of without consequences
Yeah right. Like Russia will ever do that. That country needs to burn just like they’re doing to Ukraine.
I love documentaries lol
They have the blueprints so they can build one anytime it’s just a matter of Money lots of it.
RIP Mriya
My favourite one 😔
Waiting to see sky again.
Rest in many pieces
Neh yes this one is even my aircraft to what ever like the kc39s.
ACCORDING TO OUR LIBRARY, DUDE...Ronan would completely disagree. I don't spell chemicals nor AIRCRAFT parts wrong either.
Much Respect to those who dreamed up this real life Goliath that flew the skys for many years. Very much respect to the mighty nation of Ukraine that the Antonov AN-225 called home for its entire life. Strength and Gods blessings over your Nation Ukraine.
The USSR collapsed in 1991, and Mriya's plane was built in 1985
*explosion of the fourth reactor. How did you get such a well known fact is beyond me
I would have overlayed the credits over the burnt out hanger it was torched in and an asterisk about it's lifespan.
I wish this plane fly soo soon
It’s destroyed, a casualty of Russia’s war on Ukraine
@@orneno9056 A casualty of the vile Ukrainian politicians.
I pray they build another one 😔
I saw the plane in Perth, western Australia. A triumph of Russian technology. Now we face a war that is not a triumph of Russian technology or political thinking.
Indeed. From triumph to tragedy
It’s not Russian, it’s Ukrainian, or rather was…:( the Russians destroyed it when bombing Kiev
@@plnsushko it’s Soviet
@@plnsushko tell me ‘idk history’ without telling me ‘I don’t know history’
@@growthanalogiesguy3634 I know history, thank you very much. I grew up in Ukraine, and yes, it was Soviet, but after Soviet Union fell, it’s has always been considered Ukrainian. I really like watching foreigners talk about things they have no idea about based on documentaries lol
NOT a coincidence this plane was setting records and testing its abilities on 9/11.
👍
Oooh
HOpe that Antonov Airline can fix her to see her in air again.
Farewell Mriya
RIP in peace soviet space dream
RIP AN 225
Now world biggest plane is destroyed 😪
RIP
Rest in peace Soviet union. Rest in peace Antonov 225.
Soviet union is burning in hell as it deserves
