Boeing 747-400 Dreamlifter taking off from Portland, Oregon

[MsSantosh22]

brother of beluga

[Ja3k1]

looks like a beefed up airbus beluga

[wav5000kb]

looks like it has a sausage in it

[wadyano]

wish the write brithers could see this

[faizanjoyia]

fake

[fabbeboii]

@faizanjoyia No, its for the same purpose that airbus uses their belugas, for carrying plane parts...

[FlyGuyPerson]

@faizanjoyia real

[greendayhall]

looks like a flying water bottle

[MrAmansyed]

looks like stephen hawking.

[farhadeabdi0]

It was not wel-designed!

[Rikasa75]

Introducing the 747-500, with it's beautiful extended upper deck... Boeing's picturesque answer to the A380!

[Enzo2738]

I saw one of thoose when i went to florida

[chasedrgc1223]

there were only 4 built (it was meant to transport the 787's fuselage wings, and other parts) thus being called the dream-lifter

[concorde232]

Is the dreamlifter bigger than airbus beluga?

[porschiste911]

@concorde232 Yes quite bigger, the Dreamlifter is 71.68 meters long against 56.15 meters for the Beluga, the Boeing "wins" again in term of height and wingspan with 21.54 meters tall against 17.24, and 64.4 meters wide against 44.84 for the airbus.

Cheers,

Aurélien.

[fooksake69]

fugly!

[groov539]

Reminds me of the 'pregnant guppy'.

[amshg21]

does it have cancer or something ?

[tonypham2312]

Look like a retarded flying bird...

[the1000man]

@coyoteco  What song is this?

[moistfaucet]

I never see the plane can go to outer space. this is nothing.

[afgrocks123]

let the frog live

[graycloud057]

did it swallow another plane? Looks very queer.

[Replicaz101]

theres one of those here in hialeah florida

[mike713s]

this is the reason why the world calls the US fattys

[SRakash]

looks like a A380 knocked up this 747

[legocity23100]

Tros top

[013lakers]

Nah,not impressed.Beluga looks worse!

[nev594]

We live in such a weird society, and I'm not a religious goody two shoes. But we have a video of a modified 747 transport and all you hear is butt fucking and lippo, and tumors, and ugly asses, and the the Beluga is prettier. They're just aircraft designed to haul extra large loads. And the fact the the 747 Dreamlifter is shaped like my cock is just a coincidence! :)

[workablemass]

I have been inside that plane!

[DJ727ROBLOX]

@imafreakinsubscriber

Too big to be one. This is slightly larger than the a380.

[TrollReviewer]

i love planes...but that is one UGLY ASS PLANE

[RalphDavisVoiceovers]

someone needs some lipo...

[ronacm]

That makes the Beluga a lovely plane

[slickrichardsn]

@ imafreakinsubscriber only the cockpit and FWD fuselage is pressurized

[OpticQ]

The 747 with a tumor....

[yetibiker08]

that is the fuggliest looking plane i have ever seen hahahahhahahahha damn

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@yetibiker08 no look up the super guppy

[imafreakinsubscriber]

Why can't they use this for passenger use?

[OnkelKiesi]

Thats Boeings answer to the Airbus A380. Why not ?! I like the Face of the B.-747 more than the A380

[richskis]

It is for cargo people. Who cares what it looks like.

[yetibiker08]

@richskis

you mean "wide load people" like those fat people on "Walley" the animation blimpers

[MegaAfroGuy]

@richskis yeah, the race of cargo people don't have eyes

[kadarysi]

the design of this 'plain' is really horrible !!

[sirdcac]

it serves it purpose. There are 4 of them in the fleet and they are doing what they are designed to do..

[otto63363]

hahaha! how lame it is flying. fucking ugly.

[Gingerhairconor]

Imagine trying to turn that bitch :o

[PerfectoDigital]

sorry, but this thing is just fucking ugly.

[kerdawg77]

back too paine field it goes

[TheCodi007]

flying dildo :D

[F16AirPower]

Boeing 747 + Airbus beluga = Boeing 747 dreamlifter

[JB3PAC]

747 with a tumor :)

[khunaungthurasoe]

ugly !

[mwhite112393]

At least it looks better than that shit Beluga Airbus is pushing.

[paisacool]

It seems like a dolphin

[tudy98]

ugliest thing ever seen!!

[DrHavoc1]

Bleh :( ugly

[sonicfan7]

Omg he has cancer, I'd rather have the beluga srsly, so fucking ugly. Respect for both though.

[azimuth361]

Adam Sandler can keep his weed in there.

[Rolandhinio]

Ugly plane

[goofy943]

Aunque no lo crea es es un avión en cinta de otro.

[smartdon007]

Dude....This aircraft looks so ugly !!! It gave me goosebumps while I was watching this video !

[arby321]

@smartdon007 wasent made to loook pretty it was made to carry plane parts....

[jimbo45w]

This aircraft was built to transport piecies of the new boeing 787 Dream liner. It actualy transports these large piecies to boeing for final assembly. In reality it hauls a whole plane in it.

[gerry7man555]

thats the ugliest plane i ever seen!!

[Bekiz100]

the design is the most ugliest made by Boeing...it sucks!

[compdude100]

@Bekiz100 At least it isn't as ugly as the Airbus Beluga :D

[anto1191]

Hunch Back of Notre Dame's private jet

[taximan1011]

BEASTY

[TheLofty97]

they could of used the antonov 225 miyra insted of fannying about for the 787 to be transported it looks like its been on a fatty diet and its so fat ur mums out the legue 

[KulinBan777]

this thing is ugly, take a look at AN-225

[usctrojan43]

plane has a giant tumor

[323tiim]

747+A380=Dreamlifter

[dbronco24]

lol fail at 0:15

[Polishsoldier1]

hunchback of Boeing xDD the thing on top could of beenn made a little longer so it isn't that ugly

[bxbebelpg]

@Polishsoldier1 horrible design!!

[desilatetwo]

OMG its my first time to see Boeing dream lifter using pratt and whitney turbo fan LOL damn funny :D

[xaadim1]

that plane is sooooo FAT IT SCARED YA MOMMA!

[MrSocial78]

looks like a 777 buttfucked a 747

[13BigLu13]

hm....dreamlifter....it looks like a nightmare.....is this real???? it looks so....so.....i cant describe.....not like a plane....more like a faulty design

[mtdew123456789]

@13BigLu13 Its like that to Transfer Aircraft Parts for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Boeing 747-8 Dreamliner 

[13BigLu13]

this plane is horrible...beluga is much better

[voraistos]

hmm i prefer the airbus beluga... that's a big ass ugly plane !

[conorcurran1]

Looks very stupid to be brutally honest. So does the Beluga

[narutojose2]

looks like a 747 and an airbus a380 lol

[dks11000]

Beluga only needs 2 engines...Now who's copying who?

[Polishsoldier1]

its ugly, no offence to Boeing 

[Polishsoldier1]

WOW I saw this in a couple of FS vids but i didn't know it was real

[civicnation4two]

looks more like a fly turtle.

[harastha]

copycat

[supernintendolper]

747 meets A FLYING WHALE.

[SuperCrazyJunk]

its just a 747 with a massive body the nose looks exactly like a 747

[MathisWolf]

That looks like one big penis gone wrong

[Elothforlive]

It looks so damn lame lol

[dngense]

is this boeings version of the beluga?

[Flightkid9]

@dngense pretty much is, both are used for transporting parts of their respective planes from the factories to the assembly line.

[youngglasskid]

when it landed were there midwives waiting to concieve?

[youngglasskid]

when it landed did it go straight into labour?

[Spacek531]

It looks like a certified PDX sky.

[MrAznboii11]

i like the Beluga more

[DarthBismarck]

Now I see why some people are calling it a flying beluga.

[IomatRoblox]

so lucky

[MareBellator]

theres a hideous plane.

[daniel223543]

In a couple of months, you will see a cute little 737 come out!

Yeah, it's pregnant. Or as you say in wales langune, Mamolaeth. cuz its big as a mammoth.

Nah, just kiddin. Respect for Boeing! And Airbus too! By the way, i wonder what 7for7's husband looks like?

[oWipWaP]

@daniel223543

Probably the Airbus Beluga??

ha

[cc1sportingtorver]

@daniel223543 LOOOOOOOOL xD

[seggaman123]

@daniel223543 Quasimodo? haha

[MrTornadoman97]

@daniel223543 the Airbus Beluga XD

[chrissen22]

THIS IS UGLY!!!!!

[RobinITV]

lol

[cezza57]

This 747 has a large tumor

[saulo320]

carrying drug 

[BrianRobertsfan]

So basically this is boeings comeback when airbus came out with the beluga?

[StephenB58]

You should see the 747 with the space shuttle strapped to its back.

[svscared]

It's planes like this one that I just can't figure out how they get off the ground. I mean look how much bigger the fuselage is compared to the standard 747 wings. Only thing I can figure out is that it must not carry a full load of cargo.

[tf51d]

@svscared It carries Fuselage sections and wings for the 787! That is what it was built for, to transport the sections of the aircraft manufactured overseas back to Everett for final assembly. So yes it carries a heavy load! The Airbus Beluga, which is a modified A300 does the same for Airbus!

[svscared]

@tf51d Yes I know that it transports 787 parts to Everett.. My question was how the hell does it fly with that weird design. It seems like it would at least need more powerful engines to make it fly but I'm pretty sure it has the same type as the regular 747.

[iFloppyy]

this is an failure compared to the Airbus Beluga

[2easyftw]

why boeing is copying airbus on everything it has ?

[phillyslasher]

@2easyftw Because Boeing does it better ;)

[Aviationnation10]

@2easyftw its the other way around its just a transporter many of airbusses planes are bassed on boeing aircraft a320,a380,a350

[phillyslasher]

@2easyftw One more thing. Boeing was founded in 1916. Airbus was founded in 1970 because a bunch of insecure Europeans got all butthurt about always having to fly on American made airliners. Who's copying who? Everything Airbus has ever built has been in response to a Boeing airframe. Just saying. Come on Europe, stop playing around. Leave the aircraft manufacturing to the pro's ;)

[tf51d]

@2easyftw Actually its the other way around. The concept for the Beluga came from the Super Guppies, which were modified Boeing C-97J Turbo Stratocruisers (Military variant of the Boeing 377)

[mubasherjamil]

very strange looking plane

[RunNGunable]

this looks like a plane with a giant tumor

[excalibur9900]

i wonder if they combined a Beluga and a 747?

[stainless1911]

Almost as bad as what GM did to the hummer

[Kaese91]

looks like a pregnant 747

[FlightJetFS]

@Kaese91 it is a pregnant 747

[Adgaverry]

I work there...

[tudole]

no no... beluga us cuter... this is Hunchback of Notre Dame...

[boseboypa1]

This is my airport :)

[thebobertone]

OMG that plane is soooooooooo sexy!

[DAL3294]

What version of flight simulator is this?

[em4rulz]

@DAL3294 It's Flight Simulator Real Life.

[GuthixGodOfBalance]

That thing's like the Boeing Elephant Man!

[pindiwall]

Its Shape is much better than Airbus Beluga.....

[xGot2PullThroughx]

n'aww!

it's got a humpback!

[tamaramj]

sooo this is how it looks like if there's some guy in product planning who knows how to operate MS-Excel.

to Boeings misfortune, and other companies too, innovation and its cost does not fit into such tables.

maybe they should have better used their ressources to bring the 'dreamliner' forward instead of this ....'mutation'

what a shame

[tf51d]

@tamaramj The reason this was built, was to transport Plane sections of the 787 Dreamliner to Everett, for final assembly. So this was a necessary requirement for the Dreamliner production.

[haroldvideos]

THE BELUGA'S ENEMY

[pablytuzz]

Boeing should call this airplane something like "Boeing 747- The fat guy"

[pulawerde]

That is not 400 modification

[crazyknight2008]

looks like it has some type of tumor on its back :)

[Firephinx4]

looks horrible

[noodleninjaa]

A 747 with a wart on its back

[TheSuperiorAce]

It's still not big enough to hall Rosie O'Donnel's fat ass and ego.

[datzfast]

@TheSuperiorAce add some wheels and loud stereo, paint it purple and you have the new air force one. LOL

[jumpinfool]

the fact that it flys amazes me...

[gta1172]

They are probably transporting tons of porn

[scaremenga]

@gta1172 No, it IS tons of porn.

[depolitie112]

@gta1172 little change mate ^^

[eclipse245]

@gta1172 That's why it's called the "dream" lifter

[echatz]

although the beluga isnt the prettiest plane, its more streamlined and has character, this one reminds me of a snake digesting a bunny!

[DCussen]

Ugly, but they store a lot of crap.

[Waffles341]

It looks like a 747-400 with a tumor or some kind of growth behind it

[757chelle]

It's a 747LCF....the 400 is not a widebody.

[tf51d]

@757chelle Say what? What's your definition of a widebody?

[757chelle]

THAT is *NOT* a 747-400.

[tf51d]

@757chelle Yes it is a modified 747-400 (Designated 747LCF) Taken from the Boeing website

"The Boeing Dreamlifter is a modified 747-400 passenger airplane that can haul more cargo by volume than any airplane in the world. "

[paulinhohawai]

music horrible

[danz1010]

the beluga is great and super nice!

[Dreadnought942]

that plane clearly had too much mcdonalds

[melumelu77]

what the fuck is this plane?

[NotCops]

wow this music really sucks

[SpuriousEmission]

I saw a dreamlifter taking off at Prestwick Airport , Scotland, (Glasgow Prestwick Airport) at around about 2:20-2:30 pm today, Tuesday 27th April 2010. I'm not a plane spotter, but tail number was N780BA, if that's any use to anybody. I believe it's one of only four built. I was hoping that somebody managed to film it. I didn't have my camera as I was working when I passed by.

[HHan13]

Hahahaha looks like my friend's mom XD

[william888888888]

That thing is fat man'' I like the 747-8 better any day.

[RobertsDigital]

@william888888888 have you even seen the beluga.....that one's not only fat but ugly. Sometimes you will wonder how these fat planes can lift up from the ground...

[HHan13]

Wow copyright much of the Airbus Beluga

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@HHan13 well it's really the only thing boeing can do to transport parts from across the world

[tf51d]

@HHan13 ...and the Airbus Beluga copied it from the Boeing Super Guppies!

[Bemasnubben]

fattie

[haisanexcess]

don't be stupd... this is the new face of technology in airplanes... to go ahead in the science... is required don't listem what "beautiful" guys says and keep focus in important things don't matter if beauti or not...

[cristianomaddog]

It's like a 747 with a huge cancer growing on its back!

[airindia16]

sweemed to lift of faster than most aircraft!

[goldennify]

on dirait un python qui a avalé une baleine

[13JBX]

Both the Airbus Beluga and the Boeing Dreamlifter are amazing planes, but we can't forget about Boeing's Super Guppy, which came before both of these planes and was actually used by Airbus for awhile to transport parts for their planes.

[abacusin]

I love boeing planes. CAnt wait for dreamliner to come a reality

[scaremenga]

Does anyone know how economic the performance of the Dreamlifter's are compared to the 747-400F?

[tf51d]

@scaremenga It wasn't built to carry regular freight! They carry fuselage and wing sections for the 787 to Everett Wa. for final assembly, from it's suppliers around the world. A concept that has been more trouble then it's worth BTW, causing much of the delays the 787 has suffered.

[scaremenga]

@tf51d Yes, I understand that. What I was wondering was: what the impact that the uhh.. fuselage widening has on the 747 airframe. And whether or not it would be economically plausible, i.e. return profit margins, to sell as a "commercial" freight plane. It's not more trouble than it's worth either, Boeing just needs to get used to it. It works very well for Airbus and should, too, for Boeing. So far it seems that the Dreamliner is Boeing's training wheel(s?). Crash and burn first, improve later

[tf51d]

@scaremenga It is a modification of existing 747-400's and as such is only certified for in house service. It's doubtful Boeing will go through the certification process to make it commercially available, although I have read UPS has expressed interest in it.

@scaremenga it only adds about 4000l
