But the fun part is that there is indeed demand for such aircraft, and apparently the fifth beluga (not XL) was build mostly to service those customers, as well as giving more wiggle room to the four other planes. now that the XL fleet is operationnal, airbus reported considering selling them or forming a dedicated branch, but no final decision has been made yet.

Both are impressive aircraft. Compared to the Beluga XL, the Dreamlifter looks like a box nailed together.

Here we see the quality difference. Airbus builds its Beluga’s in-house on a brand new A330 freighter optimized for its needs. Boeing goes in cheap, buys a couple of old 747s from China and converts them in Taiwan. And although the original Belugas have been around for more them twice as long as the Dreamlifter, Boeing managed to make it look like they’ve been around since the late 80s

The beluga xl actually has a smaller mtow than the standard a330 series, so even though it has a massive cargo hold volume it can only lift around 100,000 kilos extra over its empty weight. when you consider that fuel makes up half to three quarters of that 100,000 kilos, there actually very little weight left over to lift aircraft parts. The wings and fuselages are nowadays composite material, and therefore much lighter than pre2000s aircraft parts.

Living in Hamburg Germany, i can see the Beluga every once in a while heading to the local Airbus facility. Interestingly due to their large size, it looks like they fly very slow. When the Beluga was new, it and the Super Guppy was present at an Open Doors day at Hamburg Airport. I was still a kid back then, but the size of these freighters were very impressive... and the free drinks and ice on a hot summers day :D

9:07 that hurt :(

I've seen three of the four Dreamlifters in person, both in Mulkiteo at the Boeing plant there, and at the Boeing plant in Charleston, SC. One KZreadr I follow did some flying around Marana, AZ, and it seems that one of the Dreamlifters is currently parked there, possibly due to low utilization needs at the moment.

Since the A380s are retiring, Airbus is probably considering buying a few of them back and converting some to special purpose cargo aircraft. Imagine a Beluga Mark III built on an A380 airframe....

I see the dreamlifter landing often at IAB AFB in Wichita, Kansas. the 787 is partially built at Spirit AeroSystems.

Once visited airbus in Toulouse with my universities class and we were allowed to see the Beluga be unloaded up close (ie. a few meters from it), impressive plane especially when you are right next to it.

these ABSOLUTLY COLASSAL multi TON metal machines are capable of lifting themselves high up in the air and reach speeds faster than your car holding weights larger than your house. do you realize how amazing that is?! we have not ''failed as a species'', we're just complaining about our shortcomings -which are valid, but things like this go to show that we'll persevere. enjoy being alive in the dawn of the 21'st century (cc).

I'm just a humble man at awe of these inventions.

Range is also a major difference. The Dreamlifter has a range of 7 800 km with a 113 400 kg payload and the Beluga XL has a 4 300 km range with a 50 500 kg load.

I live near Broughton in the UK so I'm right under the xls flight path I see it multiple times a day

Despite normally being a Boeing fan, I can’t deny that the Beluga is a stunning aircraft compared to the design of the Dreamlifter.

I used to see both Beluga & XL flying over..........impressive sight, always

A few things to consider which is the better aircraft: In terms of volume, Airbus Beluga In terms of MTOW, Beluga (155 t) In terms of range, Beluga (2000 km) In terms of operations: The Airbus Beluga and XL are totally self-sufficient. The cargo door has electrical motors that allows the door to operate without any ground equipment. For the crew to access the aircraft, there's no need for external airstairs as the entry hatch below the fuselage also contains deployable stairs. In the event of cargo shifting loose, it would impact the cargo door, rather than the crew cabin as on the Dreamlifter. Unlike the Dreamlifter, the Beluga and XL has an APU, allowing self-sufficient engine starts. The Boeing Dreamlifter is not self-sufficient. It needs a special ground jig to open the swing tail door, which is not powered at all. The locking system is also a lot more complex and heavier than on the Beluga. The crew also needs external airstairs to access through the normal passenger entry doors (as on a regular 747), therefore disallowing the aircraft from operating from an airport without airstairs. In the event of cargo shifting loose, the aircraft requires a very strong bulkhead to prevent loose cargo from penetrating the crew compartment. Unlike the Beluga, the Dreamlifter does not have an APU, requiring an air-start unit to start the engines.
