Not sure if this is a Cargo plane or it’s being adapted to the next generation of overweight passengers.

Probably the former.

I’m always astounded that the Beluga is capable of flight. This even more so.

Thanks for getting Raffi stuck in my head for the rest of the day...

I had to check that this wasn’t satirical.

When you consider what Airbus is doing about cramming ever more humans onto a plane, you never know. Just imagine how many people would fit in some of these configurations.

This is why I didn’t become an engineer, because it’s basically magic.

Seeing that thing fly is almost surreal, it looks like it should just tip over in midair when it turns.

What like an Airbus-US Edition?

Well, it certainly wasn’t built for aerobatics....

Oh good. Finally, an XL version.

As passenger s lose more and more rights, I totally see this happening. We are cargo right? I mean, what if they decided to save money by making it like the old days and not pressurizing the cabin.

“ Wear a coat and here’s a oxygen mask, thanks for flying American”

Doesn’t Ryanair already do that?

From what I’ve heard, yeah.

BTW, I thought you’d find this interesting. You’d love my office, lots of model planes and things. A new product we’re offering

Neat! Love those de Havilland twin-boomers.

If so, at least Boeing has their competitor ready:

I always love this picture of one transporting part of an A300:

(and of course incidentally, the Beluga itself is an A300)

Don’t give Airbus any ideas.

You talk like they haven’t thought of it.
