The Antonov An-325 was a planned, enlarged and improved version of the Antonov An-225 , which, however, was never built.
Project
This aircraft was to have two additional engines, which were to be attached to the respective inner engine mounts in a manner comparable to the American Boeing B-47 . This would have resulted in an eight-engine aircraft with six engine nacelles. The aircraft, which never got beyond the planning stage, was intended as a launch platform for Russian and foreign spacecraft. It would have been by far the largest and most powerful aircraft in the world.
