Many vehicles are specially designed for unusually massive work. Many engineers have come up with amazingly huge inventions to meet the requirements. A brief description is given here:

1. Airbus A 380

Airbus A 380

The A380 is a superjumbo jet as it is considerably larger than any other such vehicle, such as the 747-400. With its floor more than 5,000 square feet in size, this huge airliner can easily accommodate 525 to 800 plus passengers. When compared to 747, the interior of this giant vehicle is 1.5 times bigger. The number of total 380s in the world today is less than 50 but in the coming few years, it is expected to exceed 200.

2. Antonov An-225 Mriya

Antonov An-225 Mriya

This giant fixed-wing aircraft was created by Design Bureau of Soviet Russia. It stands to be the largest plane ever built. Mriya is so huge that it can easily carry a space shuttle on its back. Train engines, 150-ton power generator plants, wind-turbine blades and all types of heavy loads are transported in this craft.  It can even hold several other airplanes and helicopters in it as well.

3. MS Oasis of the Seas

MS Oasis of the Seas

This is the longest ship from Oasis-class that has a record of holding 6,000 passengers. The luxuries on it are:

  • Two-storey suites
  • Indoor zip-line
  • Minigolg course
  • Night clubs and bars
  • Pools
  • Shopping Stores

It also has the world’s first living park at sea with more than 12 thousand plants and sufficient number of trees. Read the full story

The plane, on a flight from Istanbul, broke up in three pieces when it hit the fields next to the runway.

The breaking up of plane in three pieces helped in passengers surviving the crash. Few years ago, all the people would have died in such a crash but these days it seems that the aircraft safety has increased by leap and bounds.
