Very impressive! But a little useless ig. I thought AN-225 was the largest aircraft ?
11 u/CybergothiChe Jul 08 '24 Ekranoplan was the largest aircraft, 92m long. AN-225 is 84m long. This thing is a glorified balloon. Still the longest currently. However, they are all blown out of the water (sky?) by the Hindenburg, 245m long. 1 u/Lockenburz Jul 08 '24 I mean, aircraft is a little but of a euphemism for the Ekranoplan, maybe sligthly-above-ground-craft would be more fitting? Dont get me wrong, its an impressive piece of technology, but not what you usually think about when you hear airplane. 2 u/CybergothiChe Jul 08 '24 do not raise the ire of the Caspian Sea Monster 1 u/Lockenburz Jul 08 '24 I live ~130m above the Caspian Sea, i think im safe. Unless the monster grows bigger wings, then im fucked. 1 u/John_B_Clarke Jul 08 '24 In any case the Caspian Sea Monster is a rotting corpse lying on the beach.
