What's the largest thing that has ever flown?

Question

How large is it, and how long did it stay up?

Answer 1

airbus a380.... ^__^   it'sbigger than the b747.

Answer 2

In terms of a real aircraft, actually flying missions, it is the An-222, with a maximum gross weight of 1,600,000 pounds. It has six jet engines and a triple tail. It flies heavy lift charters and has transcontinental range.

For volume, dirigibles such as the Macon, Hindenburg dwarf regular aircraft, but cannot fly as fast, high, or as far as a regular aircraft such as a B-777 or an Airbus 380.

The Spruce Goose, designed and built by Howard Hughes, is a very large wooden aircraft that only flew one flight.

Answer 4

First thing that came to my mind is the "spruce goose"..it was the  largest  winged  vehicle to fly within earths' atmosphere.  But, I'll bet the space shuttle is bigger.  I cannot find info on spae shuttle size...hope someone else can.
