looks like it has a quasy modo back... i dont like them, i think if its gonn be built to contain large parts then it has to be designed from the start, like the An-124/225

Unfortunately , the Antonovs do not have the volume to carry such items as Airbus or 787 wings, and the 225 is actually not a particularly useful aeroplane because of its inability to taxi in many cases : it has to be loaded on the runway for many purposes which makes it a touch impractical unless the field is very quiet indeed
