Model Details
Because Airbus needed additional cargo capacity, especially for series production of the A350 XWB, and the heavily used Beluga fleet was also getting on in years, the aircraft manufacturer began studies to develop a successor model in the early 2010s, which led to concrete plans starting in 2014. The choice fell on the A330-200F as the basis for the new parts transporter, with the short runways at Hawarden Airport in Wales and Bremen Airport in particular tipping the scales in favor of the smaller A330 variant. At 63 meters long and 19 meters high, the Beluga XL is a good six meters longer than its predecessor, the A300-600ST, has a 1.1 meter wider fuselage, and a cargo volume of 2,209 m³ that is almost 1,000 m³ larger. This was precisely what was crucial for being able to transport two wings instead of just one of an A350 in the future, for example. Externally, the XL is most easily recognizable by its "smile," which further enhances the whale's appearance. F-GXLI entered service in October 2020 as the third of currently six BelugaXL transporters. The metal model is manufactured with an interchangeable plastic part, allowing it to be displayed with the bow door open or closed.Caution!
