What is the largest commercial aircraft?
It depends on what you mean by largest... The Airbus A380 is the largest passenger aircraft in the sense that it carries the most people. It is a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine jet airliner flown mostly by by Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Qantas, and British Airways on international flights. It is certified to carry up to 853 people.
The commercial aircraft with the longest wingspan (approximately 385 feet) is the Stratolaunch. It's designed as a mobile launch platform for space rockets. But the Stratolaunch is not a conventional commercial passenger or cargo aircraft.
In terms of traditional commercial airliners, the Boeing 777X series, particularly the 777-8 and 777-9 variants, have folding wingtips that bring the total wingspan to around 235 feet (71.8 meters) when extended, making it the longest among commercial airliners.
Of course if you mean the maximum take off weight, the Antonov An-225 Mriya holds the record for the highest maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) at 640 metric tons (1.41 million pounds).
There sure are a lot of amazing planes to learn to fly!
