since their invention airplanes have revolutionized the transportation system
worldwide these giant machines play a very important role and military
operations as well as in cargo and public transportation to remote places
around the world in a short time they look like big flying whales and have
become the most effective most comfortable and the fastest means of
transportation this video will amaze you because we'll show you the top 10
longest planes in the world number 10 number 10 tupolev tu-160 this airplane
is popularly known as the white swan because of the color and softness
it's a supersonic heavy strategic bomber airplane the 54 meters long aircraft is
basically the biggest heaviest and fastest aircraft of its type therefore
it holds the record for being the fastest strategic bomber airplane with
the longest range for bombs however this super airplane doesn't have
any defensive weapons when it flies it's always escorted by long-range tactical
fighter planes and this aircraft has its own GPS jamming and spoofing systems as
well as anti-satellite weapons this machine has been the last strategic
bomber of the Soviet design that started to fly in 1987 and continues to operate
for the Russian Air Force at present it has the kuznetsov MK 32 turbofans the
most powerful military engines which provide enough potential to continue to
fly until the year 2040 tu-160 has the cruising speed of 960 kilometers an hour
and the maximum speed is 2,000 220 kilometers an hour
number nine airbus beluga excel if airplane airbus beluga was already one
of the biggest cargo planes of all times then without a doubt it's dolphin
looking successor is a spectacular machine worth seeing unlike the current
plane the new model beluga excel is six meters
longer and one meter wider which results in the exponential increase in cargos
load capacity which is more than six tons the cabin of this plane has been
redesigned as well as the internal structure of the cargo warehouse these
changes have been made for the plane to have more storage capacity this huge
aircraft still has to go through months of simulations and testing phases on the
ground before the plane starts to fly the 63 meter long aircraft has the rules
royce trent 700 engines and the company airbus hopes beluga XL will begin to fly
by mid-year 2019 number 8 Antonov an-124 without a doubt the plan Antonov 124 is
indeed a huge monster in the sky and undoubtedly considered as one of the
largest aircrafts in the world since its first flight in the year 1982 until now
these planes are used to transport trains yachts and even other planes
fuselage furthermore it allows cargo storage up
to 150 tons it can also transport up to 88 passengers and this 69 metre long
aircraft can reach its maximum speed of 865 kilometers an hour but the
production of this plane was stopped after the Soviet Union's break down and
the last five unfinished basic airframes of this aircraft were completed between
2001 and 2004 even though these airplanes are not manufactured anymore
they're still updated and improved year after year number seven
strata launch systems after years of development a company started by Paul
Allen one of the founders of Microsoft has introduced this rocket-launcher
aircraft this strange 73 metre long airplane has two cabins and a wingspan
of 117 metres it also has 6 powerful Boeing 747 engines for a payload
capacity of over 500,000 pounds it weighs around 227 tons without cargo and
it'll be able to fly with carrying a load of around 600 tons this plane is
expected to reach a maximum altitude of 10 kilometers however when it reaches
the maximum altitude it is specifically designed to put the cargo into orbit and
come back to earth the first flight for this airplane was planned for the year
2016 but unfortunately it wasn't possible the company spokespeople say
that this plane will finally start operations in the year 2019 and the
first commercial flight for this plane is expected for the year 2020 number 6
Airbus a350 1000 this massive airplane that's more than 73 meters long is the
most extended version of the Airbus family it can accommodate approximately
440 passengers near 50 more passengers compared to previous model a 350 900
this is possible because it has a 7 meter long fuselage having maximum fuel
capacity of 156 thousand liters the airbus company states that the fuel
consumption by this plane is 25 percent lower than the fuel consumed by planes
of rival companies it can fly fourteen thousand eight hundred kilometers and
offers luxury services such as key suite seats that can convert into double beds
and modern interiors to give the best comfort to passengers when they're
travelling long distances surprisingly in this program total 11 billion euros
were spent number five Boeing 777 the Boeing 777 is a long
Ridge commercial jetliner that is manufactured by the American aircraft
company Boeing considered to be the largest twin-engine plane in the world
and also known as the triple 7 moreover it was the first commercial plane
designed by using computers one remarkable feature of this aircraft is
that it can transport more than 500 passengers at a distance of around
17,000 kilometers the 777-200 LR model holds the record for the longest
distance flown non-stop by a commercial aircraft it is shown that it can fly
long distances more than halfway around the globe non-stop this plane ranks as
one of the Boeing's best selling models because of its fuel efficient
consumption and because it can fly long-haul transoceanic routes the Boeing
777 is 73 meters long which has the cruising speed of 892 kilometers an hour
and having maximum speed of 945 kilometers an hour number forms lockheed
c-5 galaxy the galaxy c5 is the biggest transport plane in the American air
force and also one of the biggest planes in the world which was designed and
manufactured by a company Lockheed and its operations were started in the year
1968 moreover it's 75 metres long which provides great cargo capacity to
transport fully equipped in military units including combat tanks to anywhere
on the planet in a short time this plane has been used to support US military
operations and provide aid to Armed Forces and combat number three three
Boeing 747-8 this plane size is more than 76 metres from nose to tail which
makes it the biggest passenger airplane in the world the Boeing 747-8 is
basically the development of the model 747
has been designed taking the advantages of all the technological and
streamlining improvements available nowadays it also includes the best
technology taken from the model 787 dreamliner
this technology includes engines raised wingtips and other features that help
reduce noise when flying and reduce emissions of polluting agents have a
better performance a lower weight and is easier to maintain the model design for
passengers has the capacity to transport from 467 to 581 passengers depending on
specific characteristics this plane can buy 15,000 kilometers without refueling
number 2 Antonov an-225 the 30 year old playing
an-225 the biggest fight in the world is placed in the warehouse of ukrainian air
force base its little activity has nothing to do with its age in fact this
machine has been refurbished and the company is owning it has said that it
will continue to fly for another 20 years
however the customers are interested in hiring the service of this mega plane
always changed their mind when they know the cost for the service it's a very
high price around $30,000 an hour this 84 meter long airplane was very
expensive project by the USSR it was so expensive that only one prototype was
manufactured ironically this airplane was built to save money to the former
Soviet Union government that needed to transport the first space shuttle from
Moscow to BER on building a road that could go through two rivers and the Ural
Mountains was in fact a more expensive than building the plane thus the
government decided to invest in a program to create this a massive plane
at present this machine continues to be the biggest plane around the world
number one airlander 10 technically speaking it's
not an airplane but it is worth to mention though because it's the longest
aircraft in the world at present this machine is a hybrid of a plane a
helicopter and an airship in addition it was intended to be the first generation
of silent aircraft which is energy efficient and environmentally friendly
to this sort of airship is filled with helium and has four v8 diesel engines
with 355 horsepower each the aircraft has a cargo capacity for 10,000
kilograms which can reach an altitude of 5000 metres when flying this 92 meter
long aircraft has a cruising speed of 150 kilometers an hour the designers of
this aircraft say that it can be beneficial for search and rescue
operations patrolling and luxury tourism drink festivals or for scientific
research even though this machine crashed when flying for the first time
the engineers responsible for this project say that they've solved the
problem and they're ready to fly it again thanks for watching see you in the
next video peace
