I was looking at DBQflyer05's AN-124 photo and I was wondering if the Ukrainians can ever make a bigger aircraft than the Ruslan and the mighty Mirya..
How about if they were to use Mriya's body length, re-designing the whole wings, making it more strong and toughened so it is able to carry more than 150t Ruslan and 220t Mriya.
It looks kinda underpowered, when seeing it equipped with four 229.5kN (51,590lb) ZMKB Progress (Lotarev) D18T turbofans.
How about slapping this thing with some Rolls-Royce Trent 900's or GP-7200 turbofans.? I bet they can exceed the maximum payload record at 250t...
RR Trents 81,000lbs versus ZKMB 51,590lbs You do the math....!!!
The An-124's total payload in weight is 150 tonnes (330,695lb) and An-225's total payload in weight is 250 tonnes (551150lb).
But I know we have to concern about the space at the arrival airport. A big and massive renovation to some spots where they are able to recieve a mriya ...But I know this wont ever happen. Unless the Ukranians were to go into the Blended body and wing programme gong more extreme than ever. but We'll see.. What do you think. ??
