The world's heaviest aircraft is a 747 combo I beleive - over 800,000 pounds
set during load tests for Boeing. The C5A (or C5B) may be able to top
that record with new wings that don't crack apart. Spruce goose biggest
in wing span (was B-36 bigger? Flying wing? Piper Club (50 of them, glued
together)? ).
