The Antonov An-225 Mriya, which means Dream in English, is a heavy strategic cargo aircraft. It is the largest and heaviest fixed-wing plane in the world. The Mriya was developed for long-range and heavy payloads. The An-225 was first flown in 1988 and first flew commercially in 1989. The An-225 can carry up to 225,000 kg of payload over 6,000 nautical miles. There are only two An-225 planes in the world, with one based in Russia and one in Ukraine. The plane has been used to transport space shuttle parts, satellites, and space station parts.

There are two versions of the Mriya: the standard version and the “Mriya Max”, both of which are similar except for their wingspan (the Max has a bigger wing). Both versions have a range of 3,500 nautical miles and a maximum speed of Mach 0.9 (0.75 each). I would call this plane a dream come true for any traveler who wants to go places quickly and on a budget!
