plane.aspx?a=2 Antonov began developing the An-225 in mid 1985 to replace the Soviet Union's two Myasishchev VM-T Atlant heavy transports. Although there is only one serviceable An-225 in existence, Antonov is working to complete a second part-built aircraft and in the longer-term may build a third. It seemed like the An-225 would never fly again until Air Foyle and its partner Antonov Airlines - the airline division of the Antonov Design Bureau which designed and built the An-225 prototype - moved to resurrect it in the year 2000. www.freightersonline.com /plane.aspx?a=2   (815 words)

:: Discovery Channel CA :: When the mammoth Antonov An-225 Mryia (“Dream”) first took to the air in late 1988, it became the world’s largest operational aircraft by a country mile, or at the very least by 100000kg of payload capability over its predecessor the Antonov An-124 which had held the title since 1982. The An-225 project began in 1985 when the Antonov Design Bureau of Kiev, Ukraine was granted the task of designing a new aircraft capable of transporting the Soviet space shuttle orbiter, Buran, and components to the launch site. Using the An-124 as a template, Antonov retained the 124’s cross-sectional dimensions, increasing the length of the fuselage and wingspan by approximately 15m each. www.exn.ca /flight/flightpath/plane.asp?ID=10   (380 words)
