WOW!! Engineers Reveal Plans For The World’s Largest Plane That Is Bigger Than Old Trafford Stadium (SEE PHOTOS)
Engineers have unveiled plans for the world’s largest airplane, nicknamed the WindRunner, which would use renewable energy by transporting gigantic wind turbine blades from point A to B.
Designed by the Colorado-based energy company Radia, the behemoth cargo carrier measures a whopping 356 feet long and 79 feet tall with a wingspan of 261 feet.
The plane is as long as a regulation NFL football field and 127 feet longer than the Boeing 747, the world’s largest passenger plane.
With a potential carrying capacity of 80 tons, it will also be able to hold 12 times as much as the latter aircraft as well.
In order to accommodate the jumbo jet’s landing, a 6,000 foot runway will also need to be constructed.
The WindRunner’s purpose is to fly the blades of onshore wind turbines which measure between 150-300 plus feet long and can weigh 35 tons to various wind farms.
Due to their large size and unwieldiness, the big fan blades currently have to be transported offshore via specialized marine vessels, which limit their use on land.
