The problem is timing(it can't be done while the country is at war, Russia would just destroy it again) and costs...Its estimated that this project is gonna cost over 3 BILLIONS of dollars to be completed, this money would be much better spent restoring the country than using it to rebuilt the airplane. Well, maybe we will see it flying again in our lifetimes, but I wouldn't expect it anytime soon.

Given global logistics I'm surprised they never built a second one. Cargo ships just keep getting larger, logically cargo planes should too? Hopefully people will notice the loss and there will be justification to make more of these, it's a proven design with years of reliable flight time.

I think the primary issue with cargo planes getting bigger, is that there's only so much size such a machine can put on before the use of rare or hard to manufacture materials are required to allow it to fly efficiently and safely; whereas a ship is only limited by its ability to float, something that is simpler to work with.

Lasangna Kob had a good point but it’s seems even more basic, early on with the space shuttle he states that getting to a 10k altitude would allow the shuttle to use 90% less fuel to reach space. It’s a physics problem with the fuel, at some point the object becomes so heavy and resistant to movement that the energy needed to move it is taken up by the machinery now needing a pony power source. Aka why we don’t build Fred Flintstone cars anymore.

@MrMartinNeumann

2 жыл бұрын

You cannot really compare those. For Ships, weight does not matter too much they usually are limited by size since they need to fit through channels and into habors. Airplanes are limited by weight. More weight means more fuels which also weighs a lot. As a result, the cost per ton of cargo goes up dramatically to a point where it's not economical anymore. It still can be useful to have a plane like the AN-225 since it can transport stuff that no other plane can but the market for that is very limited.

I must say that i'm happy that i saw it in person, this plane is like building, i was very sad when i learned this R.I.P Antonov

The Eiffel Tower doesn't travel to airports around the world, and nor does the Taj Mahal or the Statue of Liberty, but the An-225 certainly did! ✈🌍 Although it was a mostly Ukrainian project, it was built under the old Soviet Union, and was one of the last major achievements they could point to before that empire collapsed. The fact that Vladimir Putin's ego wants to rebuild that empire makes it sadly ironic that his forces have destroyed this unique one-off airplane, which had moved so much humanitarian aid over many years. ❤🇺🇦

This is a big loss not only for Ukraine but also for all countries of the former USSR. The plane was built by the forces of 3 countries, and these are hundreds if not thousands of specialists, engineers, scientists. Its chief designers were V. I. Tolmachev (Russian SFSR) and P. V. Balabuev (Ukrainian SSR). 4 Ukrainian enterprises took part in the construction (main design, assembly, fuselage and its components, engines), 4 Russian enterprises (fuselage frames, aircraft control complex, landing gear, painting), and an Uzbek enterprise (central parts of the wings with flaps and end parts of the wings, serial consoles).

You are confusing, not 3 countries built this aircraft, but one country. And Balabuev P. V. was born in the Lugansk region, in a Cossack family. So he is far from the Ukrainians, just like Australia is from the United States.

You know when you just heard something sad and it’s not so sad that you will cry but it still sad and you get like a pressure in your eyes, that just happened when he said the Antonov was the last of its kind

I saw the An 124 a decade ago, and it absolutely dwarfed the boeing 737s around it. I can't imagine the size of this beast. The were shipping combines in it if that gives you an idea of how big their second biggest plane was.

There is still a sister aircraft of the "Mrija". Not yet completed, this one is in a warehouse. The completion of this aircraft could be very expensive, because components are obsolete. It would therefore be a question of financing whether such an aircraft would ever fly again.
