From an experimental 1921 lake catastrophe caused by shifting sandbags to the 108-meter WindRunner currently rising in Colorado, this documentary explores the untold 100-year history of the largest flying machines ever built—and what truly stopped them from growing even bigger. Why did pure physics cease to be the boundary surprisingly early on? We trace the engineering triumphs and fatal miscalculations across six aviation titans: • Gianni Capronis nine-winged Ca.60 flying boat (1921) • Claude Dorniers 12-engine floating steamship, the Do X (1929) • The Cold War Convair B-36 with its 25-meter crawlway tunnel (1946) • Britains ill-fated Bristol Brabazon luxury ocean-liner airliner (1949) • The legendary 640-ton Antonov An-225 Mriya at Hostomel (1988–2022) • Stratolaunch Roc and its 117-meter record-shattering wingspan (2019) • The modern volumetric revolution: Radia WindRunner (2026) ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - The 1921 Sandbag Catastrophe at Lake Maggiore 02:00 - Gianni Caproni & The Nine-Winged Experiment 04:00 - Dornier Do X: The 12-Engine Flying Steamship 06:00 - Crossing the Atlantic at 500 Meters Altitude 08:00 - Convair B-36: Six Turning, Four Burning & The 25m Tunnel 10:00 - Bristol Brabazon: When Luxury Collided with Seat Economics 12:00 - Antonov An-225 Mriya: The 640-Ton Titan of Hostomel 14:00 - Stratolaunch Roc: The 117-Meter Wingspan Record 16:00 - Radia WindRunner: Why Size is No Longer Measured in Tons 18:00 - What Actually Limits Airplane Size?
