Невероятный взлет самого большого в мире самолета!

Hello Since 1903 when the Wright Flyer 1 first took to the sky aviation has come a long way Flying machines set records one more incredible than the other The first flight lasted only 12 seconds during which the Flyer 1 covered a distance of about 36.6 meters But this was a revolution Modern airplanes can fly distances of 14 260 kilometers like the Bombardier Global 7500 or at speeds of 3 530 kilometers per hour like the Lockheed SR-71A But the record holder holds nearly 500 aviation records 240 of which are world records This titan does not take off It pushes the Earth away from itself It is not an airplane It is a dream At every airport where the flying giant An-225 takes off or lands a large crowd of spectators gathers to capture the event Witnesses eagerly share their emotions from meeting such a giant Its wingspan is 88.4 meters the length of its iron body is 84 meters and its height is 18.2 meters For comparison a football field meeting FIFA recommendations measures 100-110 by 64.75 meters while the famous flower carpet on the Grand Place in Brussels measures 24 by 77 meters The weight of the freighter is 250 tons With a full load it is 640 The maximum speed of the An-225 is 850 kilometers per hour The maximum flight altitude is 12 kilometers Cruising altitude is 9 Maximum range is 15 400 kilometers Practical range with a 200-ton payload is 4 000 kilometers For takeoff without cargo the plane requires a runway of 2400 meters and with cargo 3500 meters A titan detaches from the ground at 560 kilometers per hour and lands at 295 kilometers per hour It's interesting could Michelle Lattita eat it and how long would it take the unique Frenchman He ate a rather non-chocolate Cessna 150 airplane along with the tires and leather seats in two years An interesting fact is that the cargo hold of the Myriya is longer than the distance flown by the world's first airplane and resembles a plane hangar A 43-meter sealed cabin easily accommodates another airplane or train And not just some little plane like the BT-5 micro which is slightly more than 4 meters long with wingspans of about 6 meters and a mass of 210 kilograms The Boeing 737 has a fuselage The engines on the An-225 are jet engines D-18T and they are not small either They weigh 4100 kilograms when the diameter is more than two meters They are six in total Each produces a thrust of more than 23 tons at takeoff power Indeed the enormous size of the Antonov An-225 and the fact that its landing gear leaves marks on the runway prevent many airports from accommodating it By the way Mriya has a unique seven-row main landing gear Two struts with two wheels in each row Each cover costs about 1000 dollars and there are 32 of them Four on the front supports and 28 on the main ones They need to be replaced every 90 landings Interesting fact Four rear wheels can turn to allow the giant to make a 180-degree turn on a platform just 56 meters wide By the way the duration of opening the nose cargo ramp is 7 minutes and the process has the poetic name "Elephant's Bow " Indeed there is something captivating about this action A elephant consumes a lot - 16 tons of fuel per hour while flying at cruising speed He might need up to a day and a half to get a proper lunch At the same time the giant doesn't just take off but quickly dives into the sky rolls onto its wing and begins climbing Why was such a giant created In its time Soviet developers worked on creating the "Spiral" system The project's idea was that a powerful aircraft would accelerate to six times the speed of sound with a manned orbital spacecraft on its back Such a rider would start from a launcher at an altitude of 28 to 30 kilometers The project "Spiral" never reached flight tests but among its classmates it became the prototype of "Buran " Only the unmatched power of the rocket that launched into space could have sent "Buran" into space The reusable aerospace system Energia "Buran" was the Soviet Union's response to the American Space Shuttle Things were going smoothly in the plan Autonomous landing non-toxic fuel horizontal flight tests But how to transport the various components of the launch vehicle and spacecraft from the production and assembly site to the launch site After all only the tanks of the Energia rocket had a diameter of 8 meters You have no idea but various projects were considered each more disastrous than the last They cost 10 billion rubles Although the total cost of the entire program was 16 billion 400 million Soviet rubles For example it was even suggested to dig a canal from the Volga to Baikonur Entrepreneurial professionals suggested recalling the "Spiral" project Thus was born the idea of creating a heavy-lift supersonic transport aircraft The heavy-lift aircraft had to be able to carry at least 250 tons The An-124 was used as the basis for development Chief designer of NPO "Molniya" Gleb Lozino-Lozinsky watched the launch of the orbital spacecraft directly from Mriya But this system remained just in sketches By the way there was an interesting story with the plane's name The workers jokingly called him "One and a Half Ruslan" or "Lusya " because they thought "high-plan" would be called "Lyudmila " It makes sense similar to Pushkin's fairy tale "Ruslan and Lyudmila " But no the children of Antonov do not just bear the names of legendary heroes The combination "AN" is a trademark for all aircraft of this design bureau But Antonov's successor Pyotr Balabuev surprised everyone and ordered the unusual name "Mriya" to be painted on the Antonov An-225 In the night before the memorable date just a few hours before the ceremonial rollout But according to NATO's codification the super transport is called "Kazak " The Antonov An-225's flight log includes 14 flights in conjunction with the Buran totaling 28 hours and 27 minutes The first flight took place on May 3 1989 Never before has a space technology test been demonstrated to such a wide public And especially not live In the same summer the USSR made a name for itself at the famous Le Bourget exhibition in Paris The fighters Su-27 and MiG-29 in addition to the civilian Il-96 and Tu-204 aircraft made their debut But what most impressed those present was the giant An-225 with a spacecraft on its back Practical and quite exotic proposals have begun to arrive at the Antonov Aviation Scientific-Technical Complex For example Mr Samarqandi a British subject of Pakistani origin He proposed to create a three-deck passenger liner based on MRI He proposed to place two decks in the cargo cabin and the third one in the place of the accompanying cabin It was proposed to create large cabins for businessmen and honeymoon cabins With showers and other amenities Various salons shops duty-free stores and casinos The estimated route is Sydney London Tokyo Sydney Oil workers planned to transport a 190-ton recondensation column on an external suspension from Kuybyshev to the north using the An-225 Regular transportation of such a column takes two years MRIA could handle it in 15 days Work began with the developer and manufacturer of the column to reinforce it at the installation points on the aircraft But after several months of intense work the client abandoned the project without explaining the reasons Around the same time the "Energia Buran" program began to be scaled back due to high costs and lack of demand Imagine that when the rocket launches the concrete pad is cooled by the hot gases that reach 3500 degrees They diverted the Syr Darya waters into an artificial underground lake By the way water consumption was higher than in all the fountains of Peterhof Water flows from all 150 fountains of Peterhof at a rate of 1100 liters every second Indeed 8 million liters of water are drained into the Gulf of Finland a kind of reservoir Of course the work on the Antonov An-225 also stopped Once or twice Mria represented the USSR at air shows in Canada and the United States and flew to the States several times with humanitarian cargo One of these flights brought an unpleasant incident to the crew That's an understatement of course The plane was over the Atlantic Ocean when one of the outboard engines failed Of course fuel consumption increased and the fuel system was not fully tested In other words it was not calibrated In reality no one knew how much fuel was left in the tanks As we approached America it became clear that the fuel was running out and there were not enough life jackets for everyone Fortunately American leaders have contacted the dispatchers The crew straightened the course and landed on the runway without performing the box Of course the engines would stop during taxiing It was quite the flight After the incident the giant was sent on an indefinite leave of absence Eventually they dismantled it and installed commercial "Ruslans" engines But Mrii was lucky again After spending a long time on Earth A modernized and certified commercial aircraft took off into the sky on May 7 2001 In 2009 the Antonov An-225 underwent another modernization and extended its operational life until 2033 To become famous the airship "Titan" didn't have to fly at 11 854 km/h Like the NASA X-43 drone or ascending to an altitude of 112 km like SpaceShipOne It set almost 500 aviation records during its operation of which 240 are world records In 2001 "Titan" launched a record weight of 253.82 tons A record commercial cargo of 247 tons of construction equipment was transported from Prague to Tashkent in 2004 In 2009 Mria flew from Frankfurt to Yerevan The heaviest single-engine aircraft in aviation history a monoplane with a special frame weighing 187.6 tons Art exhibitions were even held on board the "Giant " An exhibition of 500 paintings by 120 artists took place in 2012 during the Air Show "Aviasvit-21" at an altitude of 10 150 meters The longest cargo in the history of air transport - two wind turbine blades each 42.1 meters long - The "Bogatyry" transported goods from China to Denmark in 2010 What's there to say on September 11 2001 only during one flight the crew of Alexander Galunenko He set 214 national and 110 world records The legendary pilot set 263 world records in his lifetime Of these 234 were on the Mriy And in the world of the An-225 it is often called "the ambulance " Because many of his flights are transporting humanitarian cargo to all corners of the world ose who have survived various natural disasters In 2009 MIRIA delivered generators to Samoa to restore the operation of a power plant damaged by a tsunami In 2010 - large construction equipment for clearing the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti And in March 2011 the aviation giant was helping after the great earthquake in eastern Japan An interesting fact: the most remote location that MIRIA has visited is the island of Tahiti The distance along the shorter arc of the Earth is approximately 16 400 kilometers Takeoff and landing of the Antonov An-225 is a real spectacle Crowds gather in any airport For example on the kangaroo's homeland massive traffic jams formed on the roads leading to Perth Airport People even slept in their cars to secure a convenient viewing position Have you ever seen the takeoff or landing of this "Titan" Or maybe you stood nearby or even went inside Write your feelings in the comments There are competitors to the megajet but they have not entered service The "Hughes H-4 Hercules" with a wingspan of 97.5 meters made its only flight at an altitude of just 21 meters in 1947 and its achievements ended there The American company Stratolaunch System's Model 351 is 15 meters shorter and its maximum takeoff weight is also 40 tons less The truth is the bird's wingspan is 117 meters But this indicator was achieved thanks to the twin-fuselage design Moreover the model has only conducted one test flight so far and was developed as a carrier platform for lifting rockets into the stratosphere before their launch into space There is a demand for super-heavy and super-dimension air transport in the world So the An-225 will continue to work for the benefit of people Did you like the video Don't forget to ring the bell to not miss anything interesting Good luck
