For comparison the Antonov An-225 had a maximum weight of 640 tonnes and a payload of 250 tonnes. A 1/24 scale model was shown [4] [5] [6] at the 1999 Paris Air Show. [7] If built, the aircraft would have been the world's largest, widest, and heaviest airliner. [8] [9]
An upgraded 3M version was developed to reduce emissions and increase the life of the hot section to 14,000 h, and is introduced on An-124s of Antonov Airlines. [2] Currently 188 D-18T engines are in operation with a total flight time of over 1 million hours.
