Article Summary
June 27, 2005 The Airbus Beluga flew into Paris earlier this month for the Paris airshow, offering one of the most remarkable sites in aviation. The Beluga (also known as the A300-600ST Super Transporter) has the most voluminous cargo hold of any civil or military aircraft flying today, offers a unique way to transport oversized air cargo. Developed to carry complete sections of Airbus aircraft from different production sites around Europe to the final assembly lines in Toulouse or Hamburg, its main-deck cargo volume is greater than the Lockheed C5 Galaxy, the Antonov An-124 or the Boeing C-17 airlifter.
