世界一でかい輸送機 An-225 (アントノフ)の登場.. AmericaのB-747に乗っけられたSpace Shuttleを思い出します。

今回は、中国とウクライナです。

The An-225's large size was the result of its initial mission to transport the massive Soviet Buran space shuttle, which could weigh up to 105 tons, to launch. Unrealized Soviet planes also intended for the An-225 to launch other reusable space launch systems in mid air.

On August 30, members of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AICC) and the Antonov Corporation, the leading Ukrainian aviation company, signed an agreement to restart production of the AN-225, the world’s largest cargo plane.
