Antonov An 990

: It is powered by six custom GE-990-480 turbofan engines, each producing roughly 480,000 lbf of thrust. Water Operations

The aircraft is capable of taking off from water even at its full 6,000-tonne weight. :

The "900" series, however, is a gray zone. The highest confirmed Antonov number for a production aircraft is the (originally designated An-224 for the Soviet space program, later revised to An-225). After the collapse of the USSR, Antonov explored numbers for conceptual projects: The An-318 (a regional jet), the An-325 (an air-launch system), and the An-700 (a helicopter concept).

The Antonov An-990 is not a real-world aircraft; it is a fictional, colossal "super-plane" created as a mod for the flight simulator

: Equipped with a 600,000-gallon tank for massive aerial firefighting.

Not a fixed-wing aircraft, but a modern airship capable of lifting 50 tonnes. Many futurists predict that the era of the 1,000-tonne fixed-wing jet is over; heavy lift will revert to hybrid airships (which would dwarf any "An-990").

The Anglo-French Concorde and the Boeing 747 pushed the limits of 1960s technology. The An-225 pushed the limits of 1980s Soviet titanium welding. An would require 22nd-century materials science. This is why Antonov never built it.
