Beluga

A strange plane is the sky. Perhaps you don't know but the main industrial site Airbus is located at Toulouse.
The famous A380 and others A340-A330-A320 are assembled here but most of the parts are coming from others associated factories (England, Germany, Spain and France). So based on a A300 structure, Airbus engineers have designed a specific plane to ship parts from site to site. This plane is called the Beluga due to its particular shape.
