Is the Mriya a modified An-124 airframe, or a derivative that’s significantly different? It certainly appears to have a long fuselage!

The Mriya is based on the An-124 design, its dimensions are increased but it’s almost the same shape.
This is the main reason that allowed Antonov to built it so quickly.

Mriya « 2″ will likely be completed to the 100M-150 standard of the An-124. That’s IF it’s completed.
Damon, the 225 is a modified 124 airframe. Heavily modified.

Why didnt they finish the 2. one? The first one was made on my birth 1988 and 21 years later there is only 1 version? I heard about that they even consider to made a AN325 which would have 8 Jets in total which would be absolutly record. Im sick of staying with technologys which are older then myself, its a shame that antonov didnt made something better yet! I mean the cargo buisness is grewing up and airplanes like the An225 are more needed then ever before!
I just dont get it!

The Mriya was initialy made for the Buran project. When they finished the first one the program was paused and some years later the USSR collapsed. That’s why they didn’t need another plane. It was rechape soon for unusual commercial use. They only use it when they can’t use an-124, because this plane is very expensive.

It’s really too bad that the second one has not yet been completed. They keep saying it will be finished soon, yet it’s never done. You can certainly bet that when the demand for 82060 becomes a strain on the airframe the second one will get the funding to be completed. And who knows, perhaps they are working getting the second one done right now, but I’m inclined to doubt it. There is too much demand for maintainance on the rather large number of 124’s to concentrate efforts on the second 225.

This beautiful aircraft just brought 10 very large generators into American Samoa to help repair Tsunami Damage to our power station. The sight of this plane landing is a once in a lifetime event. I couldn’t believe how little noise it made on takeoff. Amazing. I have wounderful pictures.

What would it take to get the second plan going again? The AN-225 is a great aircraft and more should be made. I would personally interested in sourcing for funds to get it done.

It would take money and lots of it (several millions). I’m pretty certain the only reason the funds have yet to be ‘procured’ is that there’s no guarantee of a large enough demand at the present time. That’s why I’d mentioned above that once the demand and/or strain becomes too great on UR-82060 the funds will be made available. The second one will almost surely be completed once the need arises or someone simply wants to invest in it. It’s just a matter of time and hopefully it’s not too long – it’s my favorite aircraft
