There’s Dream Chaser Tenacity, and then Radia WindRunner, the world’s largest plane. This aircraft measures 356 feet long, 79 feet tall and has a wingspan of 261 feet, making it ideal for transporting giant wind turbine blades to remote airstrips.
For comparison purposes, it’s 80 times larger than the world’s largest military plane, Lockheed Martin’s C-5M Super Galaxy, and 127 feet longer than a Boeing 747. Once built, it should be able to cruise at Mach 0.6 Mach while carrying a maximum payload of 160,000 lb (72,575 kg). Even more impressive, it can takeoff and land on a 6,000 ft (1,800 m) airstrip.

WindRunner combines the world’s largest payload bay with the ability to land on semi-prepared airstrips at wind farm sites. Our global fleet will operate from regional hubs where blades are imported or manufactured,” said Radia.
