Planned for its first use later this year, what is the name of the world's largest aircraft?

The Antonov An-225 is the world's largest fixed wing aircraft. February 2010, the An-225 transported 108 tonnes of construction machinery from Japan to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic for quake-stricken Haiti. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_An-225 Yet, Beriev Be-2500 is the aircraft I think that you are talking about. The finished aircraft will be the largest in the world, but it is not yet been fully developed by Russia. If it enters service, it will become the new largest aircraft in the world, surpassing another aircraft designed in a territory of the former Soviet Union, the Antonov An-225. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beriev_Be-2500 May 28 10, 11:50 AM

Actually I am talking about another planned aircraft. Think of the different types of aircrafts. May 28 10, 12:18 PM

The Bullet 580. "E-Green Technologies-21st Century Airships, based in Alabama, announced its 235-foot long airship (as long as a 23-floor skyscraper) which can reach top speeds of 80mph and capable of cruising 20,000 feet in the air at 80 MPH while carrying a 2,000-pound payload, has completed its inflation test - setting the world record for the Largest Inflatable Airship." http://www.worldrecordsacademy.org/transport/largest_inflatable_airship_The_Bullet_580_sets_world_record_101710.htm May 28 10, 4:12 PM
