Airbus Beluga. The Airbus Beluga is associated with France, as it is manufactured by Airbus, a European aerospace company headquartered in Toulouse, France. Airbus uses the Beluga aircraft primarily for transporting large aircraft components, such as wings and fuselages, between its various production sites across Europe. There are two variants: 1-Beluga ST: The original version, based on the Airbus A300-600. 2-Beluga XL: A newer version, based on the Airbus A330-200, with enhanced capacity and efficiency. While the Airbus Beluga aircraft operate across multiple countries in Europe, the project’s roots are firmly in France, where much of Airbus' production and operations are coordinated. #aviation 2024-10-18 -

Have you heard of the Airbus BELUGA? The Beluga was specifically designed to transport oversized aircraft components, such as wings and fuselage sections, between Airbus production facilities across Europe. The aircraft is a highly modified version of the Airbus A300-600, featuring an enlarged fuselage and a unique hinged nose that opens upwards to allow for easy loading and unloading of cargo. Being able to carry payloads weighing up to 47 tons, which is roughly equivalent to the weight of four adult male African elephants. The Beluga measures approximately 56 meters (184 feet) in length, which is equivalent to the length of around 1.5 Olympic-sized swimming pools placed end to end, weighing a staggering 86,500 kg (190,700 lb)when empty. The Beluga fleet plays a crucial role in Airbus's production process, ensuring that aircraft parts are delivered quickly and efficiently to assembly lines in France, Germany, Spain, and the UK. #aviation #airbus #airbuslovers #airlines

Did you know that Airbus and Boeing planes of some of the world's major airlines undergo maintenance in... Bacău, Romania? In this video, you can see the spectacular start-up of a newly installed engine! The moment, captured by spotters from Bacău, not only highlights the professionalism of our engineers but also the trust that major airlines such as Air France, SmartWings, and Pegasus place in Romania for the maintenance of their aircraft. Once state-owned, Aerostar Bacău, with a remarkable history in the aeronautical industry, has demonstrated its performance not only through the services it offers but also through its ability to innovate and adapt to the needs of the global market. The privatization in 2000 played a crucial role in this evolution, giving the company the flexibility and dynamism needed to quickly and efficiently meet the complex requirements of its international clients. In 2023, Aerostar Bacău recorded a net profit of 93 million lei (almost 20 mil €), marking a 3% increase from the previous year. Leadership does not change like socks; the chairman of the board and other members have been in office since 1998.

Yerevan to North America with a Direct Flight on an Airbus A321XLR? Exciting news in the aviation world: the Airbus A321XLR has received its type certificate today, marking a significant milestone for long-range single-aisle aircraft. With a range of 4700 nautical miles, this aircraft opens up new possibilities for direct flights to destinations previously out of reach. This brings us to an interesting question: Could we potentially fly direct from Yerevan to North America - e.g. Montreal, which is 4699 nautical miles, with the A321XLR? Of course, we must consider the impact of winds and other operational factors, but asking this question pushes us to think creatively and innovate. #AragilAirlines #Innovation #Aviation #AirbusA321XLR

Exciting news for one of our PEP members! As the aviation industry finally put pandemic-era restrictions behind it, Airbus emerged as the clear king of the skies in 2023, breaking the record for the single largest aircraft order ever. At the Paris Air Show 2023, IndiGo, India’s largest airline, put in an order for 500 of Airbus’ narrow-bodied A320 family aircraft. And 2024 is expected to bring a record number of aircraft deliveries. With demand soaring, Airbus has expanded its worldwide production capabilities while pushing the boundaries on sustainable aviation: it has set an ambitious target of bringing the world’s first hydrogen-powered commercial plane to market by 2035.

Razlog za još jedno u nizu kašnjenja za A321XLR program i ovog puta su problemi u sertifikaciji aviona koja po rečima generalnog direktora Airbusa "traje duže od očekivanog". The reason for another in a series of delays for the A321XLR program and this time are problems in the certification of the aircraft, which, according to the CEO of Airbus, "takes longer than expected". https://lnkd.in/dXf88H9X #airbus #aviation #a320neo #travel

It's time for another #AvGeekSpecial, and today we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the iconic Beluga! This massive aircraft is renowned for its incredible payload capacity, but why was it created in the first place? Let’s take a deep dive into the history of the Beluga program. When Airbus first started, they used ground vehicles to transport aircraft sections between assembly plants. But as Airbus expanded its production facilities across Europe, it became clear that air transport was a much faster and more efficient way to move large parts, like wings and fuselages. In 1972, Airbus began using a fleet of modified Boeing Stratocruisers known as "Super Guppies" to handle the job. While they got the job done, these aircraft became costly and couldn't keep up with Airbus's growing production demands. By the 1990s, Airbus needed something bigger and better. The solution? A custom-built transport aircraft. Airbus, in collaboration with Aérospatiale and DASA, selected the A300 as the base. And in 1994, the Airbus A300-600ST Beluga was born. Fast forward 20 years, and Airbus introduced the Beluga XL, based on the A330 platform. It boasts 30% more payload capacity than the original Beluga ST. While the older Beluga STs were retired from transporting fuselage sections, they still serve a crucial role in flying oversized cargo worldwide—everything from trains to wind turbines! This week was extra special for us #AvGeeks here in the Netherlands. One of the Airbus Belugas made a precautionary landing due to technical issues. After repairs, the aircraft resumed its journey to Hamburg, leaving us all in awe of its immense size! Now you know the story behind the Beluga—an aviation legend in its own right! #BelugaXL #BelugaST #SuperGuppy #Airbus #Airlinesandairplanes #Schiphol #TDA

The #Airbus #A380, the world's largest passenger #airliner, has come to an end of its production. Despite its discontinuation, the A380 remains an iconic #aircraft known for its spaciousness and luxury features. Manufactured by Airbus, the double-deck, wide-body, four-engine jet airliner first flew in 2005 and entered commercial service with #Singapore Airlines in 2007. Although capable of carrying up to 853 passengers in a single-class configuration, typical seating is around 525 passengers in a three-class configuration. The decision to end production was made due to declining demand for very large aircraft and high operating costs. #Emirates #Airlines received the final delivery in 2021.
