Blohm & Voss BV 238
During World War II, the Blohm and Voss BV 238 was a German flying boat. When it first flew in 1944, it was the heaviest aircraft ever built. The BV 238 had an empty weight of 120,769 pounds, but only one was ever built due to the resources required to construct it. It was also the largest aircraft produced by any Axis power during the war.
