AVIATION PING!....................
This author too is an idiot.
False premise behind the concept and wings are too small.
The idea that this aircraft serves a military purpose is laughable.
Stupid idea for today.
How long a runway would you need for that thing??
More useless spending.
Maybe this thing was designed to destroy and move all the Wind Farms on land and sea...in order to
GET RID OF THEM SOMEHOW
PLEASE GOD LET IT BE SO, AS REDICULOUS AS IT SOUNDS
Now I’ve heard of everything…a fossil fuel gobbling gigantic jet to carry “giga-wind” wind turbines blades to save the earth from the destruction of fossil fuels.
I nominate this as the most poorly worded headline today.
How do you fit a 328 foot blade in a plane that’s 300 feet long?

"as per the company's claims..."
The 'company' didn't claim anything. Let the author cite the individual who claimed that aircraft will have the ability to land on unpaved landing strips, because it's complete fiction.
Is the inventor building the prototype in his garage? (Hey, the Wright brothers started small !)
“The good news is we have built the world’s biggest aircraft. The bad news is there is nowhere on Earth big enough to hangar it nor is there a runway long enough for it to take off and land. We are considering converting it into a shopping mall and adding waterslides off the wings. We are thinking outside the box.”
OK we have guesstimate on 747 comparison. How much bigger than a C-5?
Ah, they’ve found a use for the old out of use turbine blades? Drop them on the enemy? Better than stuffing them under the bed (putting them in old mines). More silliness.
