Airbus Beluga A300-600ST (2 of 2)

[mr9396]

Incredible!

[JaWayne5]

If it is such a danger to fly and has so many flaws why should it be cleared for flight, it's just a flight hazard. The Antonov has the same cargo size, and is way safer to fly than this "unique" plane.

[DaWolf805]

@JaWayne5 It's not a danger to fly. Half the maneuvers they're describing as dangerous can be and are commonly performed by many aircraft - including the AN-225.

Flying is dangerous. I suppose nobody told that to these filmmakers.

[owner0007]

It so stupid. "Its the captain job do get the plane into air bla bla"

Thats just "wrong" since the coPilot is the one who does 95% of the work.

Its true. Look it up.. Since the CoP needs to "learn".

You become a captain later on and let your little jedi do the job..

[fsxpilot66]

looks like a plane with a tumor

[MrDjpokki94]

is a beauty the truck 0:46

[AirbusFreak100]

Boo to dislikers

[lammy1234567890]

think we heard a naughty French word at 4:37 ...

[polohotomato]

07:00 fake safety belt, for filming purpose =D lol

[madzane94]

the boeing ceo dislikes this video

[killadino1258]

It's funny how a plane that big only needs two engines

[frylucas]

@killadino1258 Airbus need's Only an A300 to Transport Aircraft Parts,unlike Boeing,that needs a 747 to Transport Aircraft Parts

[tradingpilot]

They make it seem like every flight is a life or death situation lol!

[gamestunts]

@tradingpilot I agree with you, got to love the way they set it all to rock guitar music when anything goes well.

And how they make a meal out of a 0.5 degree misalignment when rolling it in. Oh and I don't know if you picked it up the 8 or 9 times it's mentioned, but apparantly Beluga can't fly in winds over 35 mph, I missed that the first 7 times :)

[Aviation2001]

Oops I accidently clicked the dislike :(:(:(

[ernshengjoel]

thumbs for the 0 dislikes

[mrswagerondeckk]

@ernshengjoel ooops no more thumbs up lol, there was 1 hater

[hunterTS4]

Thumbs up for Marcheso's Hair!

[hunterTS4]

Thumbs up for Marcheso's Hair! (captain)

[ufo224]

cool

[MrDantesmith]

6:29 Sorry narrator explain to me how one steers a plane into wind while on the ground. Impossible imo. Thx uploader for the videos. Don't think it's the most accurate video though. Very dramatic (just for tv offcourse)

[hunterTS4]

@MrDantesmith .......you serious? you would point the nose of the airplane into the direction the wind is blowing from, pilots call it weather vaining

[MrDantesmith]

@hunterTS4 Yes am serious?I am a Pilot. It's impossible to steer an aircraft into wind while taking off, you will go off the runway,you can only do that in the air ( drift/sideslip) to maintain track. An aircraft has to maintain wings level and the pilot uses rudder to maintain runway centreline (not to drift into wind) and once in the air take up a heading to maintain runway heading or whatever track desired.Never heard of weather vaining. Google crosswing takeoff for details

[Tchocke12]

@MrDantesmith am sure he meant command in the wind

[xuser48]

@hackerboy96

MTOW for the A380 i much higher than the MTOW of the Beluga.

[fmsgpp]

@hackerboy96

look at antonov an-225 ;)

[2010Nikls2010]

at the beginning they show the beluga 1 and then at the end they probably stole some video maybe from airbus, which shows the beluga 2 :D

[aniusam]

and with only two engines...wow!

nice!

[xuser48]

@aniusam

There is not alot of weight to carry. It's mostly air. That does not require 3 or 4 large engines.

[scavenger1975]

does it use only GENERAL ELECTRIC ENGINES ?

[GloriousSky]

they make cross wind landing sound unusual and that it require talent to do it , pilots who just start there training and who have 10 or 15 hours , they learn how to land the plane in cross wind , man i hate media

[GloriousSky]

Media is good with making everything sound horrible

[xxSugarzxx]

When they talk it sounds so complicated, but when you see it, it looks so easy

[panda100123]

its hitler lmao

[NathalieSverige]

what is the differece between the different numbers on the beluga?

[repsollenny]

@NathalieSverige There are 5 Beluga's around, each one has a different number painted on.

[Gibson2471]

so what transported belugas parts.....?

[repsollenny]

@Gibson2471 Aero Spacelines Super Guppy's.

[panda100123]

@Gibson2471 the beluga... But how was the first 1 made? probally made at 1 big place instead of around the world.

[MsGrindFreak]

Wow cool

[frankmrd22]

that is nuts!!!!

[MaxSafeheaD]

Typical crappy American design.

why don't they have seperate stearing for the wheels - then they could land perfectly at all sorts of angles.

[ReverendBrownbuttock]

@MaxSafeheaD

It's an Airbus A300, Einstein, european.

Besides, separate stearing for the wheels only enables easier taxiing, ie cornering on narrow taxiways and platforms, it does not enable one to land easier in crosswinds.

[xuser48]

@ReverendBrownbuttock

Have you ever seen the B-52 land in heavy crosswinds?

The user "scottishguy1969" has one movie clip with a B-52 that shows exactly that capability.

[stuya9]

@MaxSafeheaD you dont know the faintest idea about airplanes so then say nothing about design if you even not know why the design of airplanes is like that

[MaxSafeheaD]

@stuya9

If you had the faintest idea about how to use punctuation I may also know what the hell it was you just said.

[xuser48]

@stuya9

He knows more than you. Hint: Boeing B-52 Stratofortress.

[78720]

@MaxSafeheaD its Airbus,americans have boeing dumass

[volcom1722]

@MaxSafeheaD lol u no nothing about planes do you. in commercial airlines they have a wheel for steering, rudder for air turns and yoke for banking. nah i cant be fucked explaining to a dickhead like you.

[BrendanIsCool]

@MaxSafeheaD you're a nigger, aren't you?

[MaxSafeheaD]

@BrendanIsCool

your mum is.

[xuser48]

@MaxSafeheaD

Apart from Airbus Beluga being european you are absolutely right. The only problem is that only one airplane is able to steer the wheels in the back away from the longitudinal axis and that is the B-52. One may wonder why since it is absolutely ingenious.

[MaxSafeheaD]

@xuser48

Yes, I did deservedly get beasted for getting that backwards!
