World's Largest Aircraft?

The Antonov 225 Mriya (NATO codename: Cossak) is the largest and heaviest plane flying in the world right now.

The 'Spruce Goose' had a larger wingspan, but weighed much less, and flew only once.

Physically largest ever was the Hughes H.4 better known as the Spruce goose.

Largest currently flying is the Antonov An-225.

Ironically only 1 of each ever flown. Only just flown, in the Hughes case.

depends on your definition of "largest".

the largest wingspan is the spruce goose. the longest fuselage is the an-225. the largest cargo capacity is the an-225. wikipedia has an interesting graphic.

the largest you're likely to see is the a380. i saw one (qantas) last time i flew through lax.

And this was the weekly (or is it monthly's) "what is the largest arcraft" question -

What a thrill... -

When is "the fastest aircraft" question scheduled to appear?

And "the highest flying aircraft?" -

I believe its a russian cargo jet. I forget the name of it.
