Touted as the Flying Dolphin, the Airbus Beluga is a cargo airplane from the A300-600ST series. Priced at an estimated value of $284 million, the Airbus Beluga shares some similarities to the Airbus A300, the source model from which was first based on. The wings, motors, landing gear, and lower portion of the fuselage are unique from those parts that are utilized on the regular A300. The upper portion of the fuselage, on the other hand, frames a gigantic horseshoe-formed structure (about 7.7 meters in distance across).

The
General Electric CF6-80C2 turbofan motors that are utilized are upgraded from those utilized on the standard A300 while the vertical stabilizer utilizes an adjusted Airbus A340 balance with a 1.12 m base expansion. The tailplane was reinforced and fitted with assistant balances to keep up directional solidness. The cockpit of the Beluga is pressurized though the cargo deck is not, making it blocked off during flight and impossible for packages that require a pressurized situation, for example, live creatures, to be placed there. The airplane is serviced by a group of two to three pilots as well as a cargomaster.
