If the An-225 Mriya was a freight train with wings, the mythical An-990 is a subdivision of a city block deciding to go for a glide. Rumored to have 10 engines (hence "990"), a wingspan wider than a football field, and a payload capacity measured in "blue whales," this aircraft exists only in fever dreams and flight simulator fan add-ons.
Theoretical designs suggested a payload capacity exceeding 300 tons, significantly higher than the An-225’s 250-ton limit.

or technical documentation on a real aircraft with this designation, there isn't one because the plane is fictional. Technical Information
The Antonov Design Bureau (Ukraine) has historically produced the world's most capable heavy transport aircraft. While the specific model "An-990" does not exist, the and the An-225 Mriya (destroyed in 2022) are widely considered the "best" in class for strategic airlifting. This report details the superior engineering aspects of these giants.
: It is designed with a theoretical weight of 6,000 tonnes (13.2 million lbs).
