WORLD'S LARGEST SUBMARINE CLASS EVER BUILT

This machine is the largest submarine class in the world ever built. It is a ballistic missile carrying, nuclear-powered

submarine (SSBN). This large machine was deployed by the Soviet navy in the 1980s. With a maximum displacement

of 26,000 tons, Typhoons are the largest class of submarine ever built. In its day it was one of the most feared weapons

of mass destruction ever made. Technically, it is capable to successfully deploy long-range nuclear weapons. The cost

of operations for the Typhoon submarines was so high that the Russian Navy retired all but one of them

WORLD'S LARGEST AND HIGHEST-ENERGY PARTICLE ACCELERATOR

This is the largest machine in the world with a length of 27 km the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It is the largest and

highest-energy particle accelerator in the world intended to collide opposing particle beams. It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) for testing various predictions of high-energy physics. It lies beneath the

Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland. It is funded by and built in collaboration with over 10,000 scientist and

engineers from over 100 countries as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories.

Features

Length: 27 km or 17 mi

Circumference: 175 m or 570 ft

Built & Funded: 10,000 scientists and engineers from 100 countries

Costs: US$3.5 M

WORLD'S LARGEST DIGGING MACHINE

This is the largest digging machine (or trencher or rotating shovel) in the world. It was built by Krupp and is shown here crossing a road in Germany on the way to its destination, an open air coal mine. Although at the mine the treads are unnecessary, it was cheaper to make the machine self-propelled than to try and move it with conventional hauling equipment. Some factoids:

• The machine is 95 meters high and 215 meters long (almost 2.5 football fields in length)
• Weight is 45,500 tons (that's equivalent to a bumper to bumper line of jeeps 80 miles long)
• It took 5 years to design and manufacture at a cost of $100 million
• Maximum digging speed is 10 meters per minute
• Can move more than 76,000 cubic meters of coal, rock, and earth per day

WORLD'S LARGEST PASSENGER JET-AIRBUS A380

This is the world's longest passenger aircraft that first flew in 1991- the Airbus A380, the largest passenger jet in the world.

It entered commercial service in 2007. The aircraft was known as the Airbus A3XX during much of its development phase,

but the nickname Superjumbo has since become associated with it. It provides seating for 525 people in standard three-

class configuration or up to 853 people in all economy class configurations.

WORLD'S LONGEST CONTAINER SHIP EVER BUILT

This huge vessel is the longest container ship ever built in the world and as of 2008 - it is the longest ship in use. It is

able to carry around 11,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) which is about 1,400 more containers than any other ship

is capable of carrying
