The nose gear consisted of two twin-wheel units mounted in parallel, with each unit steered independently. There were five sets of main landing gear units on each side of the aircraft, with dual wheels on each set, for a total of ten sets and twenty wheels. The front two units on each side were steerable. The landing gear was adjustable to allow the transport to "kneel", to assist cargo loading. The An-124's four Lotarev D-18T turbofans provided 230 kN (23,400 kgp / 51,590 lbf) thrust each, and had thrust reversers to reduce landing roll. In conjunction with full-span leading-edge slats and large flaps, the powerful engines allowed the An-124 to operate off of rough airstrips only 1,200 meters (3,800 feet) long.

The aircraft was flown with a quadruplex fly-by-wire flight control system, and featured a triple-redundant inertial navigation system. It did not have a glazed nose. A pressurized passenger section with 88 seats was included behind the wing. The transport's nose lifted up to allow a folding ramp to be deployed, while the tail featured a four-section door-ramp system. The cargo hold was 26 meters (118 feet) long, 6.4 meters (21 feet) wide, and 4.4 meters (14 feet 5 inches) high. Two traveling gantries were fitted to the roof, with each gantry having a load capacity of 10,000 kilograms (22,050 pounds) and fitted with two hoists, each having a load capacity of 5,000 kilograms (11,025 pounds). Twin auxiliary power units (APUs) could be used to drive the hoist system on the ground. The aircraft could carry a load of up to 150 tonnes (165 tons). * A total of 46 Condors were built up to 1999, with 21 put into military service and 27 into civilian service. The An-124 has been a moneymaker for the Russians, since it has an unequalled cargolift capacity, and it is now carrying cargoes all over the world. In fact, business has been so good for the Condor that in mid-2000, Aviastar Aircraft began delivery of new-build "An-124-100" aircraft to the Russian cargo carrier Volga-Dnepr. These were the first new-built An-124s to be shipped since 1995, when two specialized An-124-100s were delivered to the Russian government for support of state visits. These two aircraft were later sold to the Ukraine's Antonov Airlines. The new An-124-100s feature a much improved service life of 24,000 hours. The original An-124s were only built for a rated service life of 7,500 hours, apparently on the rationale that such a specialized aircraft would only be used intermittently. The short service life led to a protracted dispute between the Antonov organization and commercial users of the An-124. The new aircraft resolve the dispute, and a service-life extension program is now in place for older An-124s. The service-life extension program includes airframe improvements, in particular for the cargo hold floor and cargo handling system; new avionics; a new crew rest compartment; and improved engines. The aircraft's four ZMKB Progress (previously Lotarev) D-18T turbofans, while retaining the same thrust, are now rated for a service life of 24,000 hours, still not world-class but a vast improvement over the original, pathetic service life of 1,250 hours. The new versions of the D-18T also meet international noise and nitrous-oxide emission regulations. Other new kit in the An-124-100 includes a Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite navigation receiver and a Honeywell ground proximity warning system. The An-124 remains a product with a unique niche, and the Russian and Ukrainian organizations that build and fly the machine have lobbied their respective governments to authorize further new production. The new machines are to be built to the "An-124-100M" specification, with payload raised from 120 to 150 tonnes (132 to 165 tons), crew reduced from six to four, and improved service life. A second-stage improvement, the "An-124-100M-150", would feature 20% more range and increased service life, from 24,000 hours to 40,000 hours. * Volga-Dnepr is something of a Russian business success story. Their An-124-100s not only give the company an unmatched commercial heavy lift capability, these machines are optimized for operating under austere conditions and can fly almost anywhere if there's a landing strip long enough for them. Possibly Volga-Dnepr's biggest single customer is the United Nations. The company has been a carrier for the UN since 1994, operating in peacekeeping operations over much of the world. The UN connection gets Volga-Dnepr additional business because nations working in specific peacekeeping operations often take advantage of the company's presence and charter them to fly other cargoes. Volga-Dnepr was a major player in Afghanistan in 2001:2002, flying hundreds of cargoes for the UN, the World Food Program, the US military, and other organizations. Afghanistan was a particularly demanding scenario for the company. Not only were conditions very primitive, but the aircraft had to operate in "hot and high" conditions into airfields surrounded by jagged mountains, presenting a real challenge to pilots.
