The model is configured to hold massive amounts of water or fire retardant. It is designed to dwarf real-world firefighting aircraft like the Boeing 747 Supertanker by dropping hundreds of thousands of gallons of liquid in a single pass to halt massive forest fires instantly.
However, translating the An-990 into a real-world aircraft faces insurmountable engineering roadblocks: 1. Infrastructure Limitations

The sheer volume of data rifts required to scale up an aircraft model to 6,000 tonnes can cause notable drops in PC frame rates (FPS).
: Maintain a long approach at 165 KIAS with Flaps 3 . Touchdown : Aim for 163 KIAS .
: No airport on Earth features a runway wide or thick enough to support the landing gear of a 6,000-tonne aircraft without the concrete immediately cracking and collapsing. If you’d like, I can: The model is
The plane is so massive that other large aircraft, like a Boeing 747, can be carried on its back or look tiny beside it.
6,000 metric tonnes (13.2 million lbs). This makes it roughly 120 times heavier than a standard Boeing 737-100 or over 9 times heavier than the real-world Antonov An-225.
Because the An-990 is an community-built modification, specific details vary slightly across packages. However, the most popular iteration—the —features numbers that completely dwarf any aircraft built by human hands.
