As commercial demand for air travel and transport of cargo sky rocketed over the past few decades, the aircraft manufacturers have since tried to make an impact in the market by delivering large airplanes. This article will give you an exposure of some of the largest airplanes of the current times.
Every major region of the world including America, Europe and Russia has delivered large aircrafts for passengers and cargo transport. Three major aircraft are worth mentioning in this regard.
On the third place comes the famous Airbus A380 which has ushered a new trend of full Double Decker aircrafts. With a length of 73m and a wingspan of 80m, the Airbus A380 has come forward as one of the “Giants” in the history of aviation.
Next comes Boeing 747-8 which flew its first flight in February 2008. It has a length of 76m which makes it the longest passenger aircraft of the world.
And the largest aircraft of the planet is a six-engine Russian made Antonov An-225 which has a length of 84m and wingspan stretching as much as 89m. It serves as a cargo aircraft and can carry large quantities of cargo across the continents.
