An-225, the industrial miracle of the Soviet Union, is now the largest in the history of mankindAirplanes, its unbelievably large body. As a superLarge transport aircraftAn-225The body length is 84 meters, and the wingspan is as high as 88 metersMaximum take-off weightUp to 600 tons. This data is reminiscent of the fact that its carrying capacity can reach almost 300 tons, which is more than the US C-5 "Galaxy".Transport aircraftTwice as much!However, it is regrettable that in the Russia-Ukraine conflict,An-225Unfortunately, it was devastated by the war and became a pile of scrap metal wreckage. Although Ukraine had planned to rebuild new ones on the basis of original components and "semi-finished products".An-225, but due to the progress of the war, this plan has not been realized. Therefore, people are rightAn-225The future is full of questions, especially rumors that a certain country in Asia has "packed the wreckage away".
About a certain country in AsiaAn-225ofAirplanesThe wreckage was taken away for research and imitation rumors, inThe situation in UkraineThe turmoil has sparked widespread speculation. However, from a technical point of view, such a possibility is very small. An-225Although the technology was advanced thirty years ago, it has fallen behind compared to contemporary aviation technology. For example,An-225Adopted D-18TEngineAt the time was an amazing achievement, but with the modern WS-20EngineIn comparison, its performance is obviously not dominant. We've even developed the CJ seriesEngine, its thrust has reached more than 30 tons. For comparison, the American GE9XEngineIt has a thrust of up to 61 tons per unit, representing the futureAero enginesThe direction of development. Therefore, in today's technological environment, there is no longer much significance for the study and borrowing of Soviet technology.
Even if a country in Asia does get itAn-225It is very difficult to obtain complete technology from the wreckage or parts of the body. toEngineFor example, if you do not have a full set of technical information, even if you disassemble itEngineParts and components are also not ready for assembly. This is because in the absence of technical support, the body or parts alone can provide limited learning assistance for the technology. That is why we insisted on having tens of tons of technical drawings when buying the Varyag. However, even if we do get these drawings, they may have been damaged or lost due to the passage of time. Moreover, in the current situation of Ukraine's desperate need for Western support, it is extremely unlikely that they will easily hand over these drawings. Hence the so-calledAn-225The news that the wreckage was transported away by a mysterious power is most likely just a rumor.
For loveAn-225This is undoubtedly a sad ending. However, in the current technological environment,An-225The research and application value is already very limited. Although people will miss this one hadLegendaryColoredAirplanes, but we have to face reality. As a behemoth,An-225has disappeared from the stage of history. Let's say to this "Dapeng": "Go all the way!".”
An-225It was a major achievement of the Soviet Union in the field of industrial manufacturing, and its huge body and excellent performance attracted global attention. However, in the Ukrainian-Russian conflict,An-225Suffered an irreparably devastating blow and never saw the light of day again. Although rumours that a certain Asian country took away its wreckage have generated great controversy, such a scenario is highly unlikely from a technical and practical point of view. In any case, we should be rightAn-225Such a great oneAirplanesPaying respect, but also recognizing that in the context of current technological advances, we already have more advanced on-board technology. An-225It's a piece of history, and we need to keep chasing new flying wonders.
