The Antonov An-124 Ruslan (NATO reporting name: 'Condor') was the largest aeroplane in production until the Antonov An-225 was built. During development it was known as the An-400 and An-40 in the West, and it flew for the first time in 1982. Civil certification was issued by the CIS Interstate Aviation Committee on 30 December 1992.
