Airbus BelugaXL
Airbus SAS

About
The Beluga done again on the larger A330, with a hold wide enough to take two A350 wings side by side where the original could manage one. Six were built to replace the five originals. No type certificate for it is reachable — the FAA's regulatory system is closed to us and EASA never held the type — so this entry carries its history but none of the certified weights the rest of the library is built on. The weights are Airbus's, from the A330-700L airport-planning document, weight variant WV000. Airbus publishes no cruise performance for this aeroplane.
