PICTURE: Beluga XL cockpit section delivered to Airbus
Airbus has taken delivery of the nose section for its first A330-700 Beluga XL transport aircraft. The nose and cockpit have been constructed by Stelia Aerospace at a French facility in Meaulte. It was shipped to the Beluga XL's final assembly line in Toulouse by an Airbus A300-600ST freighter, the aircraft which the XL will eventually replace. (www.flightglobal.com) More...Yet another ugly airbus...its a wonder they made such beautiful a/c in the 330-340 lines. Everything else out of toulouse is so ugly.
In this case it's definitly function before design, fully understandable.
