Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.
- Bots aren't allowed.

It's not more aerodynamic. It's because of the large, flat-floored cargo area and decision to place the cockpit below it.
The beluga nickname came well into the development process. It was the "Super Transport" until the nickname caught on.
It’s more aerodynamic than a brick.
Yes, the cockpit was under sling to make space for cargo, but they didn’t have to make that look like a beluga nose.
