Airbus' Beluga: Giant of the skies set to get even larger
It's the white whale of the skies and one of aviation's rarest and most loved planes currently in service. (www.cnn.com) 기타...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Good Idea!
That was a great article about a great plane. FlightAware is such a cool website.
Very interesting, formidable, and utilitarian a/c! Never have seen one, but I remember seeing a Super Guppy on the tarmac at El Paso Int'l (KELP) back in the mid-late 90's - was quite bizarre in its uniqueness...
At the end of the article it says it's going to have the same loading means, so I interpret that to mean same "bubble" dimensions on the top of the aircraft just mated with a larger and longer A330.
Is the gross wt comparable to the C-5a and that Russian jumbo or is it more a matter of configuration to accommodate awkward cargo pieces?
Whether you love or hate Airbus, you must admit that the Beluga is one of the most iconic airframes in the world. Like Purdue13 said, I'd love to see the renderings. I'm imagining a 380 fuselage spliced on top of a 330, and with their production rate increasing, I could easily see 9-10 new aircraft made.
