Even an AN-
2 biplane is pretty big.
There used to be one at the Carolinas Aviation Museum in Charlotte, but I just checked their website and they do not list it. Guess it's gone. Heck, I was just up there 20 years ago......
To show size:
I read once that it was the largest single-engine biplane ever built. I don't know if that is true, but the Guinness Book of World Records states that the 45-year production run for the An-2 was for a time the longest ever for any aircraft.
