It held the title until 2019 when it lost it to one of the other planes.
That 2019 plane is now history as well. To clarify, you just need to say, "Which plane has been the largest by wingspan that ever flew." There are two answers as the current largest doesn't hold the record.

Picky, picky, picky.
I assumed they meant a plane
which flew.
I don't think they would keep records on N
ON flying
planes. That wouldn't make any sense. BUT I rechecked the Trivia question. It says that this plane was
flown
on April 13, 2019, taking the record from the old record holder.
So there you have it. Do you have a guess now, Mr. Picky?
MAGA! FAFO!

I'll have to recuse myself since I found the answer checking out the Spruce Goose. Two of the historical record holders were very short-lived, which is why I see the current flyer as most significant.
P.S. I added [

Okay I'm going to have to turn over all the cards, since there's only one option left, and
nobody guessed it.
It is indeed the
Stratolaunch
which was first successfully flown on April 13, 2019, beating out the An-225, the previous record holder.
At 385 feet, the wingspan of the Stratolaunch is longer than a football field, and needs two cockpits and fuselages. It's designed to launch rockets into low earth orbit from mid-air.

— 5 years ago(July 21, 2020 07:01 AM)That looks like two planes TAPED TOGETHER!! One HAS half-a-wing on its
portside
and the other HAS half-a-wing on its
starboard
side.
Also, WHY did they give it a 1950s (OR 40s - 60s) NAME?!?
