Size is usually determined by takeoff weight. At its introduction, the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy was the largest plane in the world. It now ranks 5th.

In order of takeoff weight:

1. Antonov AN-225 max TOW: 1,300,000 lbs

2. Airbus A380 max TOW: 1,230,000 lbs

3. Boeing 747-400ER MTOW: 910,000 lbs

4. Antonov AN-124 MTOW: 892,870 lbs

5. Lockheed C-5 MTOW: 840,000 lbs
