Yeeees it is !!!

 Can you recognize this airplane?
For the huge majority of the people this airplane it´s a prank, but the day of the innocents was 6 days ago. I´m glad to present you the Airbus A300-600ST Beluga the supercargo airplane made by Airbus to move airplane pieces from the different bases of the company. It´s my duty to recognize that this airplane is not my favorite one, but one of them.
And which is the reason to have this airplane as one of my favorites? Because it´s enormously ugly. Yes, that's the reason.  If this airplane was a human he would suffer hydrocephalus. In fact, his big bump it´s a work of engineering art. In my opinion, it´s a new done challenge. An example of no limits of the human. But now it´s time to talk about figures and data. As I said before the name is Airbus A300-600 ST Beluga. Here are the
figures and data:

  • Crew: two pilots (+one cargo boss in the new version of the Beluga)
  • Capacity: 1.400 m³
  • Load: 47.000 kg
  • Length: 56,2 m (184,2 ft)
  • Wingspan: 44,8 m (147,1 ft)
  • Height: 17,2 m (56,6 ft)
  • Aerofoil: 258,8 m² (2 785,8 ft²)
  • Weight in vacuum: 86 000 kg (189 544 lb)
  • Maximum weight at take-off: 155 000 kg (341 620 lb)
  • Powerplant: 2× turbofán GE CF6-80C2A8.
    • Normal thrust: 120 kN (12 236 kgf; 26 977 lbf) of thrust each one. 
  • Cabine width: 4,07 m
  • Fuselage diameter: 7,1 m, in the cargo compartment
  • Angle of wings: 25º
  • Distance between axes: 11,05 m
  • Width of the way: 7,59 m
  • Maximum weight at landing: 140.000 kg
  • Maximum weight without fuel: 133.500 kg
  • Fuel capacity: 23.860 / 32.250 /34.430 liters.
  • Maximum operative velocity (Vno): (Mach 0,82)
  • Scope: 4 630 km (2 500 nmi; 2 877 mi) with a load of 26 t. 2778 km (1.726 mi; 1.500 nmi) with a load of 40 t.
In my point of view, this kind of data and figures are the evidence of a spectacular airplane that governs one of my top favorite places, obviously not only the thing that is enormously ugly it´s the reason to be in my top hahaha.
