(I can barely make a cube in Blender -- so don't look at me ;) I suspect it can also kneel like the An-124. Looks like that on some of the pictures too. But the 124 has a different setup with the main gear steering, with the two forward axels steerable instead. And rumor has it they are working on finishing the second 225 down in Kiev now. The one they have in operation is booked up most of the time. > The AN-225 also has a max taxiing weight but I couldn't find the doc which > stated what it was:( Basically, it means that the AN-225 cannot make ground > turns above this weight and so for mtow takeoffs it has to be lined up on the > runway and then loaded.

(which may have been published in Ukranian only though) I found the type certificate number for it: (in latin-faked kyrillic) CTOK200-AH-225, but not the document itself. (well, I can't google in non-latin alphabets) We should add some more hard points to it. One can easily dip a wingtip or engine in the ground now by turning too hard at too high taxi speed. Max taxi speed is probably also specified in the type cert. And CG limits, and other goodies... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
