The An-225 is a six-engine development of the An-124 designed to carry the Soviet 'Buran' space shuttle on its back. A new central wing section with two more engines was inserted, twin tail fins were fitted, the landing gear was reinforced and dorsal attachment points were added. The first An-225 prototype flew on 21 December 1988. This prototype, after having been grounded for many years, is now operational as a jumbo cargo aircraft.<img src="http://i491.photobucket.com/albums/rr275/playboy1110/aircraft3up0.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i491.photobucket.com/albums/rr275/playboy1110/aircraft2pl8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
