According to the Antanov website, the An-225 has by far the highest cruising altitude of any commercial aircraft. :E

Cruising altitude, km 9 000 - 12 000

No worries reaching a suitable airfield if all 6 engines fail....

I think you will find that is a typo for 9000m to 12000m. Most eastern bloc ( Is it still OK to say that ?:eek:) work their flight levels in meters and not feet so that is roughly 27,000 to 36,000 feet or FL270 to FL360 in imperial speak.:cool:
Hope it helps

The Buran she was built to carry might manage 9000km altitude though

Captivep 31st January 2008 16:29

I think they both knew it was a typo...:)

I just thought about safety in numbers :O
Be lucky
