For context, the 870-foot wingspan is roughly that of the actual, record-holding Antonov An-225 Mriya (which has a 290-foot wingspan). Design and Performance Highlights
All versions are capable of taking off from and landing on water at maximum weight. X-Plane.Org Forum download links or information on real-world Antonov cargo giants like the An-124 Ruslan
Antonov An-990 , often nicknamed the "Juggernaut" "Graphene," antonov an 990
The name "990" is sometimes confused with the Convair 990 Coronado , a real-world American jet airliner from the early 1960s known for its high speed but limited commercial success.
Despite its size, it is designed to operate out of regular 10,000-foot runways like KBFI (Boeing Field), though it requires massive side clearances of 500 feet.

| Claimed Spec (An-990) | Reality Check | | :--- | :--- | | "Can carry 4 battle tanks" | An-225 carried 3. 4 would require 800-tonne MTOW. | | "Range of 25,000 km" | Only possible with zero payload. Fuel weight alone exceeds limit. | | "Built in 2003" | Antonov records show no production in 2003 beyond An-74s. | | "Engines: 10x Kuznetsov NK-93" | NK-93 was a propfan (never serial produced).

Is it a secret new project? A successor to the Mriya? Not exactly. Let’s dive into what the An-990 actually is. What is the Antonov An-990? Despite its size, it is designed to operate
No hangar on earth can house a plane with a 265-meter wingspan. Airport taxiways would crack under a 6,000-ton load.
