@@spenofzeros Not really, A330-200 isn't that big to begin with. They are a stretched variant of A300 after all. BUT, Airbus did create A340-600 from stretching A300-600. So it makes sense that they are able to make Beluga.

It’s really cute. This “cargo whale’s” livery for me might be comes to life (with its “mouth & eyes” move). Also, much better than the “tumor-shaped” Dreamlifter (or I called it the “Tumorlifter”), even both are useful for carrying parts of the plane or an ovesized cargo.

@@ibxgameryt9449wo reasons: 1. Basing the aircraft on the A330 rather than the neo allows them to build these aircraft without interrupting the neo line. The A330-200 obviously isn't equipped for the Trent 7000 engines. 2. These don't have a high enough operational tempo for the increased capital cost of the Trent 7000 to offset the reduced fuel cost

With respect to the charter market, how does the Airbus Beluga Transport compare to other outsized cargo carriers like Volga-Dnepr? So, how do the cargo volumes compare? Changing the topic to livery, it's a friendly design. However, if I have a choice, the ribbon goes to ANA's Honu livery on their A380s.

@ktmf2 Жыл бұрын

If you need to move something really heavy, the beluga or belugaXL isn't particularly capable. The dreamlifter has more than twice the payload capacity, and an An-124 has thrice the payload capacity. However, the cargo volume of the BelugaXL is second to none as far as I know.

Pure speculation here, but I would assume that it makes economic sense to develop a whole new platform for the logistical challenge of transporting aircraft parts. I expect the overall impact on the price tag of aircraft would be to decrease it, rather than increase it; as the increased capacity allows for faster assemble and better throughput…
