Airbus’ odd-looking BelugaXL aircraft is one step closer to its maiden flight
If you’ve ever seen one of Airbus’s “bloated” Beluga aircraft, you certainly won’t have forgotten about it.

Can you imagine what a A380 version of this would look like?
Wow. That might transport parts for cruise ships.
Impressive
Looks similar to the old Guppy I watched out of Long Beach Calif years ago..
The Boeing Dreamlifter is the current Boeing variant of Airbus Beluga. It is much more powerful and better than the Beluga.
