The Antonov An-225 had anhedral wings, which make it less stable but more manoeuvrable. With a symmetrical rocket or missile, the directional stability in yaw is the same as the pitch stability; it resembles the short period pitch oscillation, with yaw plane equivalents to the pitch plane stability derivatives. For this reason, pitch and yaw ...

The Tupolev OOS was a Soviet concept for an air-launched, single-stage-to-orbit spaceplane.The OOS's proposed carrier aircraft, the Antonov AKS, was a twin-fuselage concept plane consisting of two An-225 fuselages and was powered by 18 Progress D-18T turbofan engines, with the placements of the engines both above and below the wings.
The landing gear represents 2.5 to 5% of the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) and 1.5 to 1.75% of the aircraft cost, but 20% of the airframe direct maintenance cost. A suitably-designed wheel can support 30 t (66,000 lb), tolerate a ground speed of 300 km/h and roll a distance of 500,000 km (310,000 mi) ; it has a 20,000 hours time between overhaul and a 60,000 hours or 20 year life time.
