Unlike the specialized Mriya, the An-990 was intended for a broader range of strategic roles, including rapid humanitarian response and "factory-to-field" logistics.
The is a fictional "mega-plane" that exists only within flight simulation communities like Flight Simulator and X-Plane, rather than as a real-world aircraft. In the digital world, it is often depicted as a "Juggernaut" with an impossible 6,000-ton capacity, dwarfing even the largest real aircraft. antonov an990 best

The An-225 used six Lotarev D-18T turbofans (51,000 lbf each). The An-990 would likely have used a derivative of the (the "D-18T-5") producing roughly 65,000 lbf each. More importantly, the engine placement would have been redesigned for better wing lift distribution—reducing turbulence over the horizontal stabilizer, a flaw in the An-225. | Feature | Antonov An-225 "Mriya" | Antonov
In simulation environments, the An-990 is typically presented in four specialized "series" tailored for high-stakes fictional operations:
