How did planes get so big?

Welcome to History's Not Boring by Kidopoly.com! Join Mira and Finn as we look up at the sky to discover the most humongous flying machines ever created! Have you ever wondered how airplanes got so big? We're traveling all the way back to the 1940s to meet Howard Hughes and his "Spruce Goose"—an enormous seaplane made entirely out of wood that only flew one single time! Then, we'll learn about the funny-looking Airbus Beluga that literally swallows other airplane parts to carry them around! You'll also discover the famous Boeing 747 jumbo jet that changed how we travel on vacations forever, and the wild Stratolaunch that looks like two planes glued side-by-side! But the biggest star of our show is the Antonov An-225 Mriya! Built in the 1980s, this giant had a wingspan longer than a whole football pitch and was designed to carry a real-life space shuttle on its back! There was only one ever made in the entire world. Buckle your seatbelts and get ready for a high-flying adventure into the incredible history of aviation!
