The world's largest aircraft will be built in Italy

Italy will build the world's largest airliner. The aircraft will be called WindRunner, it will be a type of cargo aircraft with a height of a four-story house, designed to transport exceptionally bulky cargo, in particular, wind turbines for new generation power plants, which are much larger than the current ones. The newspaper Il Corriere Della Sera writes about this.

Colossus is building Radia, an American startup founded in 2016 on the basis of research by Mark Lundstrom, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an expert in the field of renewable energy.

As is often the case in the USA, the scientist's research has gone beyond academic laboratories and turned into a business. The World Economic Forum in Davos recognized it as a "unicorn" of the WEF with high growth potential, and Radia chose Italy as the most suitable country for assembling and launching the WindRunner.

"To some extent, this is the same path that Elon Musk followed with Tesla at the very beginning of its existence," confirmed Giuseppe Giordo, who has been president and CEO of Radia in Europe and Italy since May last year.
