	Airbus Beluga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Airbus A300-600ST (Super Transporter) or Beluga is a version of the standard Airbus A300 wide-body airliner, modified to carry aircraft parts and over-sized or awkward cargo.
		Airbus, however, is unique in that it is a consortium formed by the major French, British, German, and Spanish aerospace companies, and the geographic location of Airbus manufacturing is not merely a matter of cost and convenience, it is also a matter of history, national interest and pride.
		The starting point was the design for the wide-body twin-engined Airbus A300: the wings, engines, landing gear, and the lower part of the fuselage are the same as the A300 while the upper part of the fuselage is an enormous horseshoe-shaped structure 7.7 metres in diameter.

	Beluga Transport
		The Airbus Beluga, officially designated the A300-600ST Super Transporter, was introduced to replace the charismatic Super Guppy transport aircraft.
		The Beluga was originally developed to carry complete sections of Airbus aircraft, including the double decker Airbus A380, from various production sites around Europe to the final assembly lines in located in Toulouse and Hamburg.
		Airbus Transport International (ATI) operates five of the Beluga transport aircraft, each one began life as a wide-body twin-engine Airbus A300 airliner, and surprisingly the vast majority of the aircraft remains standard, including engines, wings, landing gear and lower fuselage.

	Airbus A300 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Airbus Industrie was formally set up in 1970 following an agreement between Aerospatiale (France) and Deutsche Aerospace (Germany) (joined by CASA of Spain in 1971).

		Airbus Transport International was contracted by SECI to carry a total of 18 chemical tanks on flights performed from 1997 through 1999.
