    Is that the worlds largest plane? It came to the Abbotsford Air Show a long time ago. The Russians loaded all their stuff in it and flew over. I watched it fly over me. Massive.

    The 225 is the biggest I know off and officially.I read somewhere Aeroflot had a flying boat that they tested but it only flew along the coast line at very low altitude.It was apparently bigger but I don't know if it was just a concept .We used to use IL76's very often when we handled logistics a drilling company a few years ago.That is one tough plane , the AK47 of planes IMO.

    thread about trucks goes ... airplanes)))

    Ok, IMO, fighters are not necessary now becouse next age of air forse is age of unmanned aircraft vehicles.

    well, I purchased European VOLVO FH cabover, so I gonna post pics soon.

    Even on O'Hare you can't hear an excessive noise. :) Landing planes are almost noiseless. Taking-off planes use industrial area direction to take off.

    Bout to get a whole lot quieter.

    [video=youtube_share;6gRTFXhqs6Q]http://youtu.be/6gRTFXhqs6Q[/video]

    Aluminum-lithium alloy fuselage, carbon fiber wing sections, gear driven turbofans, and 20% better mileage than anything else in its class. And it's quieter than some prop driven aircraft.
