radiationair asked:


for example, small aircraft like Russian Technoavia’s SM92 Finist that competes with Cessna Caravan is 1/5th of the cost of Cessna 208 and is also more beautiful *at least for me*. But it carries 6 Pax instead of 10 Pax in Cessna and still not popular. And also, Airbus and Boeing just shadow above Tupolev and Antonov.. why?

Example aircraft Antonov An124-100
It has a certifired max gross takeoff weight of 404T but normaly uses a max gross takeoff weight of 392T. So is it possible that it has a max gross landing weight for both?
