The aircraft is designed with absurdly large dimensions and weights to test the limits of the flight simulator:
The An-990 was envisioned as a hybrid aircraft, bridging the gap between a traditional heavy lifter and a high-speed cruiser. While exact blueprints remain classified or fragmented, declassified fragments and testimony from retired engineers suggest a radical design philosophy:
The numbers tell the story: the An-990 is not an evolution of the Mriya; it is a complete departure from reality, a digital fantasy that takes the Mriya's legacy of "bigger is better" and multiplies it by nearly ten.
Because an aluminum aircraft of this size would instantly collapse under its own structural weight in real life, the mod’s creators cleverly integrated modern materials science into its fictional lore. The An-990 is designated as being constructed primarily out of . Graphene is theoretically 200 times stronger than steel while remaining incredibly lightweight, providing a pseudo-scientific explanation for why the aircraft's wings do not snap off during simulated flight. Flight Simulator Performance and Gameplay Challenge
The primary purpose of this "Graphene" variant is to act as the ultimate wildfire fighting tool. It is designed to carry 600,000 gallons of water or fire retardant. This payload is immense, aimed at extinguishing massive fires in regions like California, Canada, and Australia. 3. Flight Characteristics in Simulation
