The AN-124 is the Russian equivalent of the C-5 Galaxy
utilising a similar high-winged four-engined layout but
with a more conventional empennage.
The aircraft first flew in 1982 and achieved certification
in 1992. It was in production at two plants in the Soviet
Union but with the break-up of that country production
ceased. Several uncompleted airframes were eventually
finished to satisfy demand from the civil oversized
cargo market.
Only about 56 aircraft have been built to date, about
half being operated by the Russian Air Force and the
other half in the civil cargo market. The aircraft has
found such a niche in this role with no real competitors,
that there have been efforts made to re-start production
and upgrade the aircraft with Western engines and
avionics.
