Usually when a piece of history is wiped out, it’s near impossible to recover it. However, Asobo, iniBuilds and the Antonov company are going against the grain. The companies have teamed up to ensure one of the most famous aircraft in the world gets cemented in digital history, at the very least. The Antonov 225 super-freighter, destroyed back in 2022, will soon fly again in Microsoft Flight Simulator.
The Antonov 225 (AN 225 “Mriya”) made a name for itself by being one of the largest aircraft ever constructed. With six large engines, a massive wingspan of nearly 300ft, and a boggling array of 32 wheels, this is chunky jet was designed to carry heavy loads that simply could not fit in anything else, even a Boeing Dreamlifter or Airbus Beluga.
During its life, the AN 225 was used across the world, delivering a wide array of different payloads, including sometimes helping in a few humanitarian efforts. Its massive size would always draw a crowd wherever it visited, as there simply isn’t any other aircraft that matched its behemoth-like appearance.
Exciting news! We are pleased to be working on the Antonov225 with Microsoft!
