An-225

[Anark]

Does anybody have any info about An-225 number two?
I found this pic on airliners.net

Is there any other pics of this aircraft anywhere?

Construction continuation is 'by market demand'

Considering that this one isnt exactly a real production type (which the An-124 is, with another 10 on order) you arent going to see much progress... but it will be finished sometime in the future

Did somebody say my name?

[Anark]

How much would it cost to buy both  ;D

Seriously.

[an-225]

Hmmm... due to its size I can estimate that it would cost...roughly 400 million US placing it just over the E-4B. Double that and $800 mil. Add to the fact that russia won't want to give up that plane and it becomes roughly 1 billion to purchase both.  ;)

I doubt you could buy the AN-225 for 400 million $. I'd say 180-280 million, or even less. Though, I doubt Antonov (or whoever owns it?) would sell it.

[an-225]

*cough* Yes it would. *cough* The E-4B, which is a 747, costs $250 mil US. A 747 costs, $200 mil US. An An-225 which is MUCH larger than a 747 should cost in upwards of about $350 mil. US. And also that is why I added the extra 200 million to bribe Antonov to let me buy it.  ;D

[Anark]

Hmmm...

... maybe I'll look for something somewhat smaller  ;D

How are the extra
's and a discount?

[Sir_Crashalot]

The extras when you buy both are:

Illuminated ash-trays;
(Fake) leather seats;
37 inch alloy rims with spinners;
and a original 2x25W Kenwoodski soundsystem.

Crash

PS discount? Njet!

[an-225]

lol. I can't wait to turn it into a flying house. Sooo much refurbishing involved. And since its the most beautiful design on Earth (Sorry Super Connie!) I HAVE to buy it. And then a model of it. Any one know where I can get a model of the 225?

[Sir_Crashalot]

Here you go. One miniature AN225:

Bigger doesnt mean its more expensive.  I mean, a ferrari is small and it costs a couple hundred thousand.  A big truck, like a chevy or something, is only 30, 40, or 50,000 at the most

Ah thank you Sir. Crashalot! I must have missed that miniature An-225 during the 350, 000, 000, 00 times I have searched google for one.  ;D All the rest were expensive mahogony models that I couldn't afford.

And Jakemaster I see what you're saying...but think of the materials used on it. SIX engines. VAST amounts of metal. 32 heavy duty rubber tyres.  ;)

Again, bigger doesnt mean better.  Lots of metal, but what kind of metal?  Some is cheaper than others.  6 engines, but how much is each engine?

Just because its bigger don't assume it costs more.  Avionics?  Think of what a new 747 has and compare it to what the AN225 has, most likely the avionics cost more in the 747.
