Altitude Flight Simulation

Meet: The Airbus BelugaXL!

This outsize freight plane is a great example of what we'd call an "Oddball Aircraft" and let me tell you, there's plenty of those!

This particular oddball is quite the powerhouse, with a total weight capacity of 50,500kg (111,333 lbs) while being able to get up to a max speed of 737km/h (458 mph, 398 kn). With a 63.1 m (207 ft) length, and a 60.3 m (197 ft) wingspan, this giant is quite a sight to behold, especially with the charming painted beluga face, this plane is a great example of not only how important aviation is; by transporting cargo that would otherwise take much longer to move. But also how impressive planes, and indeed all aircraft have become since the first manned flight!
