As an aviation expert with extensive knowledge in the field of aerospace, I can provide you with the most accurate information regarding the largest plane in the world.

The largest plane in the world, as of my last update, is the Antonov An-225 Mriya. This colossal aircraft was designed and built by the Antonov Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. The An-225 Mriya, which means "Dream" in Ukrainian, is a strategic airlift cargo aircraft that was originally designed to transport the Buran orbiter for the Soviet space shuttle program. It has a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 640 tons and can carry a payload of up to 250 tons.

The An-225 has a wingspan of 88.4 meters (290 feet) and is powered by six ZMKB Progress D-18T turbofan engines. It first took to the skies on December 21, 1988. While initially intended for space shuttle transport, the An-225 has been used for various cargo transportation purposes, including the delivery of large and heavy items that cannot be transported by standard cargo aircraft.

Generally acknowledged as the largest airplane in the world, the single Antonov An-225 is the world's heaviest aircraft ever (maximum takeoff weight greater than 640 tons) and the largest heavier-than-air aircraft (in length and wingspan) ever entering operational service.
