The Antonov AN-225, a massive Ukrainian aircraft that was badly damaged by Russian forces during the invasion exactly one year ago, is now available on PC.
The game will be released on Xbox Series X | S at the end of March, and all proceeds will go towards the reconstruction of the aircraft: a very interesting initiative for Microsoft Flight Simulator, which attracted ten million players in December and has the capability to execute such tasks.
In fact, we are talking about a pure and simple desire for planes and a desire to preserve them, particularly when it comes to such particular aircraft. The Antonov AN-225 is a special case of a project that should have produced two aircraft rather than one.
The aircraft's technical characteristics include an almost 84 meters long, 18 meters wide, and a wingspan of roughly 88 meters. It can carry up to 254 tons and reach a maximum speed of 853 km/h.
Microsoft has requested funds to support a reconstruction project that involves the use of components from the second model of the AN-225, which was never completed, to enable the aircraft to fly again.
