Position 5?
- toomuchtodo 3y ago5th pod/pylon to ferry an extra engine with. https://simpleflying.com/boeing-747-5-engines/ https://simpleflying.com/boeing-747-5-engines/ https://youtu.be/Da7VjWkzbn8 https://youtu.be/Da7VjWkzbn8 The video above mentions that the Antonov An 225 was the only aircraft large enough to carry the engine referenced in the hold (versus a pod ferry position). That aircraft was destroyed in the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War as of February 2022. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_An-225_Mriya https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_An-225_Mriya
- realityking 3y agoThe article for this thread says that an AN 124 is sufficient. Not a lot of those to go around either but not as bad of a situation.
- inferiorhuman 3y agoThe 225 is a stretched 224, it's pretty unlikely that the engines of 777 are too long for a 124.
- inferiorhuman 3y agoWhoops I butchered that. The AN-225 is "merely" a stretched AN-124.
- Yizahi 3y agoUkrainian An-124 wouldn't fly there, and Ruzzian An-124 will be impounded if they fly outside.
