we're rounding up some of the biggest and best for you to marvel at Antonov an-225 maria
the largest plane is the Antonov an-225 Maria a plane that is generally known to be the largest jet engine aircraft in existence it's a strategic airlift cargo plane that can take to the skies with a maximum weight of 640 metric tons this airplane also has the largest wingspan of any aircraft and despite its massive size it can reach a top speed of around 530 miles per hour it's not only one of the largest machines ever built by man it's also a modern marvel of Technology despite being quite old it first took to the skies in 1988.

| Prelude FLNG the largest gas platform |
Prelude FLNG the largest gas platform Prelude FLNG is the world's largest floating natural gas platform constructed of more than 260 thousand tons of steel and measuring 488 meters in length and 74 meters wide it was built by Royal Dutch Shell Co gas and impacts in 2013 and is thought to have cost around twelve point six billion dollars it's in use around 120 miles off the coast of Australia where it drills for gas and will do so for at least a couple of decades this monster machine is impressive when you compare it with other man-made objects on the ocean, for example, it displaces five times more water than the Nimitz class aircraft carriers.

the
second-largest warships in the world plates are no L 2350 the biggest earth mover le Tourneau L2350 is another monster machine and one that photos cannot do justice this is according to the Guinness World Records the biggest earth mover ever built it can lift earth and other things to incredible Heights and has a load capacity of around 80 tons that's something like 30 cars even its tires is gargantuan standing at 13 feet tall and 5 feet wide its bucket is also huge capable of holding the Seamas fine standard trucks all this weight is powered by a 16 cylinder 65-liter diesel engine that puts out around 2300 horsepower that power needs some serious fueling to the tank on this beast holds nearly 4000 liters of diesel it's massive in every possible way.
