Until the appearance of the related An-225, the Antonov An-124 was the largest aircraft in the world, narrowly beating out the similar C-5 Galaxy. The An-124 built on experience with the giant An-22 turboprop but added several improvements to make the Ruslan more effective.
The An-124 is equipped with an upward-hinging nose and a tail ramp for true roll-on roll-off loading capability. In addition, the two sets of nose wheels can be retracted on the ground to lower the nose and ease cargo loading. The An-124 design also features full-span leading-edge slats on a swept wing allowing excellent short-takeoff ability for such a large plane. The landing gear also feature 24 wheels so that the An-124 can operate from rough fields. A large compartment for up to 88 passengers is provided aft of the flight deck in addition to the 118 ft x 21 ft x 14.5 ft main cargo deck for a total volume of 44,725 ft.
The An-124 first entered commercial service with Aeroflot and was used primarily to transport outsize cargo. Many of these aircraft are now available for leasing by Western companies. A number of An-124 aircraft were also acquired by the Russian military for strategic transport duties. A total of 54 An-124 aircraft were built from 1984 to 1997. By 2000, 26 were in service with the +Russian Air Force+. and 21 with civil operators while five had been lost in accidents. Budget restraints prevented any further military sales but production for commercial customers was continuing at the rate of about four planes per year until about 2003. Although manufacturing had been stopped, Russia and Ukraine have agreed to restart the production line in the second half of 2008 if enough orders are placed.
