Designed as a heavy airlifter for the USSR Air Force, thereafter
upgraded and converted into a commercial, long-range freighter.
Widely used for carrying outsized and very heavy pieces of air
cargo which no other aircraft can accommodate.
These include cargo such as space launcher/booster components,
satellites, helicopters, construction engineering equipment,
industrial machines as well as wheeled and tracked vehicles.
The An-124 is a unique aircraft in a class of its own. This
reigning champion is capable of airlifting the most awkward,
sensitive
and fragile shipments in a controlled environment.
