Great idea, let the Russians design it. It'll be made of carbon steel, weigh 4 million pounds, have to have engines the size of Texas to fly, and no thought will be given to metal fatigue.

They did pretty good using a tape and mic on the Boeing B-29 they commandeered after it had been forced to land in NE Russia in WWII. Seattle just needs to send them a sample.

I know where you're coming from. I read MIG Pilot when it was first published.

But ...... they got our guys FROM and TO the ISS with carbon steel and vodka when the Shuttle Failed Big Time.

And I'd like to hear your opinion of the design and production and performance of the An124/An225.
