A company owned by Microsoft's cofounder just unveiled the world's biggest plane
For decades, Ukraine’s Antonov An-225 has reigned supreme as the largest plane in the world.

On Wednesday, Stratolaunch rolled its low-orbit-launch aircraft out of the company’s hangar in the California desert for the first time.
With wings spanning 385 feet, it is the world’s largest airplane by wingspan — besting the An-225’s 290 feet. The aircraft is also 238 feet long and 50 feet tall.
