De Antonov Een-225 Mriya (Oekraïens: Антонов Ан-225 Мрзя, lit. 'droom' of 'inspiratie'; Navo-rapportagenaam: Kozak) is een strategisch luchtbrugvrachtvliegtuig dat in de jaren tachtig werd ontworpen door het Antonov Design Bureau in de Oekraïense SSR binnen de Sovjet-Unie. Het wordt aangedreven door zes turbofanmotoren en is het zwaarste vliegtuig ooit gebouwd, met een maximaal startgewicht van 640 ton (710 korte ton; 630 lange ton). Het heeft ook de grootste spanwijdte van elk vliegtuig in operationele dienst.

General Characteristics
The Antonov An-225 Mriya (meaning “Dream” in Ukrainian) was the largest and heaviest aircraft ever built. Developed by the Antonov Design Bureau in the Soviet Union (Ukrainian SSR) during the 1980s, it was originally designed to transport the **Buran-class space shuttle** and components of the Energia rocket on its external fuselage. After the Soviet space program ended, the sole completed aircraft was refurbished and operated commercially by Antonov Airlines, specializing in transporting ultra-heavy and oversized cargo globally. The aircraft was tragically destroyed in February 2022.
