The Antonov An-225 Mriya is now a flyable aircraft. It is a one-off US$7 unlock, the same as Concorde, and giveaway codes can unlock it for free. No An-225 ever used Kai Tak, which had closed before it returned to commercial service, so this one is a what-if.

Flying it

  • High swept wing, six engines, twin fins at the ends of the tailplane and a long, windowless fuselage. The livery is generic green: no real airline names or logos.
  • Slow to roll and heavy on the controls, with a long final approach speed of 148 kt. It is flown with the same flaps handle as the airliners.
  • The autopilot flies the IGS 13 approach and lands it on both runways in every weather preset.

Short final: the wingtips reach out past the runway edge lights.

What Kai Tak does to it

  • Take-off weight is capped. The An-225 can weigh 640 tonnes at take-off, but Kai Tak's 3,390 m runway on a hot July day is not long enough for that. In the sim it leaves at 560 tonnes, and 520 tonnes when the weather is wet.
  • It stays on the runway. The taxiways were built round the 747's 64 m span. The An-225's 88 m wings do not fit, so on the ground it must keep to the runway: drift off it at speed and that is a runway excursion, at walking pace it stops at the edge.
  • Other traffic keeps clear. Departures hold further back from the runway while you are the An-225, so a waiting jet is out of reach of your wing.
  • The turn is harder. The 47° turn at the checkerboard is flown with a wing 24 m wider than a 747's, and the wingtip strike limit comes sooner.

Unlocking it

Choose the An-225 on the setup screen. Pay once through Stripe Checkout and you get a licence key (MRYA-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) that is saved in your browser. Type the key into the code box on another device to restore it. Concorde keeps its own key, so owning one does not unlock the other.

Got a code?

Giveaway codes (FKT-XXXX-XXXX) go in the same box and unlock the aircraft they were made for, for free. Each code has a limited number of uses.

安東諾夫 An-225「夢想」號而家可以親自飛喇。一次過解鎖 US$7，同協和式客機一樣，亦可以用贈送代碼免費解鎖。真實嘅 An-225 從來冇用過啟德，因為佢返回商業服務之前啟德已經關閉，所以呢架係「如果」嘅假想機型。

飛行特色

  • 高位後掠機翼、六具引擎、平尾兩端有雙垂直尾翼，機身冇窗。塗裝係通用綠色，冇用真實航空公司名稱或標誌。
  • 轉彎慢、操控沉重，最後進場速度 148 節。襟翼用同客機一樣嘅操控。
  • 自動駕駛可以飛 IGS 13 進場，兩條跑道、所有天氣都降到落地。

啟德對佢嘅限制

  • 起飛重量有上限。An-225 最大起飛重量可達 640 噸，但係啟德 3,390 米跑道遇上七月炎熱天氣就唔夠長。模擬器入面佢以 560 噸起飛，濕天氣就係 520 噸。
  • 只可以留喺跑道上。滑行道係跟 747 嘅 64 米翼展起嘅。An-225 嘅 88 米機翼容唔落，所以喺地面佢必須留喺跑道：高速偏離跑道就係衝出跑道，慢行就會停喺跑道邊。
  • 其他航機會讓路。你揀 An-225 嘅時候，起飛航機會喺離跑道更遠嘅位置等候，等候嘅客機就唔會撞到你嘅機翼。
  • 轉彎更難。喺棋盤前面嘅 47° 急轉要用比 747 闊 24 米嘅機翼去飛，翼尖觸地嘅傾側限度亦更早到。

點樣解鎖

喺設定畫面揀 An-225，用 Stripe 付款一次，就會有一個授權碼（MRYA-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX），儲喺瀏覽器入面。喺另一部裝置將授權碼輸入代碼欄就可以還原。協和式客機有自己嘅授權碼，擁有其中一架唔會解鎖另一架。

有代碼？

贈送代碼（FKT-XXXX-XXXX）喺同一個欄輸入，可以免費解鎖佢所屬嘅機型。每個代碼都有使用次數限制。

Concorde's engine intakes now sit under the wing

Concorde's engine intakes used to poke out ahead of the wing. They now sit neatly under the leading edge, with dark openings you can see from the front.
