Correct answer
Explanation
The Antonov An-225 Mriya was the largest aircraft ever built, with a maximum takeoff weight of 640 tonnes and a wingspan of 88.4 meters. It was designed to transport the Soviet space shuttle Buran. While destroyed in 2022 during the Ukraine conflict, it still holds the record. The Airbus A380 is the largest passenger airliner, but not the largest aircraft overall.
