5. 7. BHC SR-N4 Mk-3: World's Largest Non-military Hovercraft This mammoth machine is the world's largest hover to date. BHC SR-N4, as shown above, is the world's largest non- military hovercraft, carrying 418 passengers and 60 cars. A hovercraft, or air-cushion vehicle (ACV), is a craft, designed to travel over any smooth surface supported by a cushion of slowly moving, high-pressure air, ejected downwards against the surface below, and contained within a "skirt." Hovercrafts are used throughout the world because they are unique among all forms of transportation in their ability to travel equally well over land, ice, and water.

6. 8. Typhoon: 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.

7. Knock Nevi's: World's Largest Ship Ever Constructed This machine is the largest super tanker. It is also the largest machine that can move long distance. The Knock Nevi’s is a floating storage and offloading unit (FSO) owned by the Fred Olsen Production of Norway. It was previously a super tanker and as such held the record for the world's largest ship. The vessel is longer than the Petronas Twin Towers, one of the world's tallest buildings, at 452 meters or 1,480 ft. Features :Length: 458.45 meter or 1,504 ft long Width: 69 meter wide Height: 30 meter tall Weight: 564,763 tons

8. 11. Airbus A380: World's Largest Passenger Jet 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 Super jumbo 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.

9. 12. Antonov An 225: World's Largest and Heaviest Aircraft Ever Built This is the largest and heaviest aircraft in the world - the An225 Mriya.
