one of these?

edit: apparently the Super Guppies were replaced by the BelugaXL

Which, like, can you imagine the conversation between whoever designed that nose profile and their boss... "It's more aerodynamic boss. honest!"... "it's not because we're calling this thing a beluga?" ... "maybe not just..."

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.

🎵 When you look to the sky
And you see a whale fly
That's~ an airplane 🎵

"Now I can see the whales

Looming out of the dark

Like arrows in the sky

I can't believe my eyes

But it's true"

There once was a whale who got to fly, along with a bowl of petunias. Didn't end well for either of them.

And the only thing the bowl of petunia thought was : Awwww. Not again
