The Antonov An-325 was a proposed evolution of the six-engined Antonov An-225 Mriya, the world's heaviest aircraft, designed as an air-launch carrier for spacecraft. The concept was to carry a space vehicle aloft and release it so that it could reach circular, elliptical and high-circle orbits, including geostationary orbit, with a British HOTOL spaceplane among the payloads illustrated. The aircraft was to be an enlarged and improved version of the An-225, designed by Antonov, but it was never built. It is recorded here as a design study rather than a flown or produced aircraft.
