You have to admit, the Airbus Beluga A300-600ST Super Transporter probably won't win any beauty contests on the ramp. Nevertheless, as this new video posted to YouTube shows, the Beluga can look quite graceful in flight.
In case the video doesn't display or play properly here, you can watch the Airbus A300 'Beluga'video on the YouTube website.
Tip of the hat to YouTube user Kimerius, who posted the video.
Very cool video, but I must say it is really cheezy music to accompany it! I got to see this at the Paris Airshow a few years ago, very impressive!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment, Matthew. I'm absolutely certain that seeing this aircraft up close would make a lasting impression!
ReplyDeleteI have also posted a blog on the Airbus A300 ST and after doing some research on the aircraft I can admit that it has some pretty interesting specs that most people wouldn't know about by first looking at the monster. It's problems with maximum range also have been posing a problem with Aibus, but nonetheless they are continuing to have the Beluga in service in Europe and Africa. You can check out my blog at:
