Antonov An-990

The An-990, often nicknamed the "Juggernaut," is designed as a colossal water-bomber and strategic airlifter. In the simulation world, it is envisioned as being constructed from advanced materials like to handle its immense scale—a necessity because such a massive airframe would likely collapse under its own weight if built with traditional aluminum or composites. Its design features include:

: Some versions of the mod include unique features like the ability to launch the Buran Space Shuttle as a missile, control its flight for 12 minutes, and perform water-scooping maneuvers. antonov an-990

The taxi test was a disaster. The weight of the central fuselage caused the asphalt of the taxiway to liquefy. The first and only "hop"—a 20-foot rise off the runway at 180 knots—reportedly shattered every window in the control tower and stripped the roof off a nearby maintenance shed due to the exhaust wake of the 14 engines. The aircraft landed immediately, its rear triple-fuselage joint cracked. The An-990, often nicknamed the "Juggernaut," is designed

It is typically modeled with six massive custom turbofans, such as the fictional GE-990-480, each capable of producing 480,000 lbf of thrust. The taxi test was a disaster
