the "Spruce Goose" has the longest wingspan while the An-225 is probably the longest with the greatest loaded weight or something like that

Depends. An 255 is the biggest aircraft in production and also the heaviest.Originally posted by hisoka:so are we talking about carrying capacity, internal volme, total enclosed volume or material volume? -
the B747 LCF ,also called the DreamLifter , began operations already with Japan as its first delivery stop.

Yes..that is Dream nbr1. Jus rolled out from the EGAT hangar. Plane belong to EVA actually, modified n lease by Boeing who re-leased it back to EIA n the charter ops will be done by another cargo carrier. I cant remember which one.
what they did was chopped off the entire fuselarge from Section 41, build a new trunk with a SWING tail. meaning this acft load from BEHIND.
I think more than 1000 sheetmetals n technicians work on this bird 24/7. Nbr 2 is being built as we speak. There will be 3 of these .
They even built several large Cargo Loaders for these operations.I will post pic as soon as I figure out how to upload pics.Polar helpin on this.Originally posted by Pitot: -
