Antonov An-225 Mriya (Ukrainian: Антонов Ан-225 Мрія, Dream, NATO reporting name: 'Cossack') is a cargo plane strategic airlift, designed by the Antonov Design Bureau in the 1980s. It is the world's heaviest aircraft. The design, built to transport the Buran orbiter, was the enlargement of An-124 Ruslan success. An 225's name, Mriya (Мрiя) means "Dream" (Inspiration) in Ukrainian. The An-225 was completed in 1988 and a second An-225 has been partially completed.
