Unlike the analog-heavy cockpits of the Cold War era, the An-990 was imagined with a full glass cockpit, fly-by-wire systems, and automated cargo handling systems to reduce the crew requirement.
It can carry 600,000 gallons (2,270 tonnes) of water or fire retardant. Features in X-Plane antonov an 990
Six custom GE-990-480 turbofans, each providing 480,000 lbf of thrust. Unlike the analog-heavy cockpits of the Cold War
However, translating the An-990 into a real-world aircraft faces insurmountable engineering roadblocks: 1. Infrastructure Limitations 000 gallons (2
In the simulation, the An-990 operates at a scale far beyond any current real-world engineering capability: 13.2 million lbs (6,000 tonnes).
If you are searching for the true spiritual successor to the Antonov heavy-lifters, look away from the fictional An-990 and toward three real projects:
