3. Antonov An-124
MTOW: 405,000 kg
Currently holding the title for the largest mass-produced cargo aircraft, the An-124 had 56 units built. It has seen recent service carrying aircraft parts and whole engines around for Airbus, Rolls-Royce and others. A notable feature is the aircraft’s ability to ‘kneel’ allowing for easier loading. It is powered by four Ivchenko Progress D-18T turbofans.

Antonov
Dear Sirs, please be informed that Antonov family aircrafts are not Russian but Ukrainian designed and made.

Boeing seems under represented? I did once crash an Ilyushin though, pretty much all you could do with them.
