The world's largest passenger aircraft, is the Airbuus A380. It can carry up to

525 passengers in a stantard 3-class configuration! The A380 has a

wingspan of 79.8 metres

An Even BIGGER aircraftThe biggest aircraft ever made was the Russian Antonov 225 Mriya Cossack. It is larger in every way, and more powerfull than the American C5 Galaxy, which would otherwise claim the title of worlds biggest aircraft.

It was originally built to carry the soviet space shuttle and is now owned and operated by Antonov Airlines in the Ukraine.

Its maximum payload is a whopping 650 tons (that's roughly equivalent to 6,500 average-weight people, standing room only!). It is 92Metres long, has a wingspan of 96.6Metres and carries no less than 6 massive turbofan engines.

It stands 7 stories tall and its range is an impressive 8,000 miles. It is also capable of re-fuelling in mid-air thanks to a retro-fit.

If you could somehow move them, you could fit 8 average-sized family houses inside its cargo bay!

The Airbus A380 can still claim a title... that of worlds largest commercial passenger aircraft, but it is nevertheless only a toy in comparison with the Cossack!
The world's largest aircraft at the moment is the Airbus A380. It was previously the Boeing 747.
