A few weeks ago, the aviation world lost an icon. The Antonov AN225 Mriya the world's largest plane was destroyed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Initial reports seemed to indicate the damage was minor and the plane could be salvaged, but then pictures and videos started to surface online. The jet’s a smoldering wreck and seems beyond repair. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned about the Ukrainian people in recent weeks, it’s that they are remarkably resilient. And in a message of defiance, the official Ukrainian Twitter account proclaimed that the plane would be rebuilt and that its Mriya would never perish. But, the fact of the matter is that the 225 was a oneofakind relic of the cold war, so is it actually possible to build a new one? Let me explain…
