What is the name of the biggest plane in the world.? Best Answer: The term biggest is not defined and hence the different answers. The A380, as many have answered is comprehensively dwarfed by the An-225 Mriya. The Mriya is the heaviest and longest aircraft ever flown. The Spruce Goose has the largest wingspan, but it flew only once and not very convincingly. So IMO, the Mriya deserves the honors for the biggest plane.
