New Beluga Airplane Is The Cutest Plane Ever

I’m no expert, it’s why I write words for UNILAD and not Planes R Us, but if you’re going to design a plane to look like an animal, wouldn’t it be better to use animal that could fly, rather one that spends its entire life underwater?
 

 
 

Then again, perhaps that’s the point? After all, you’ve got to dream big to make it in life, and if you dream big enough maybe one day beluga whales will fly, who knows.
 
In the meantime, we can all sit back and enjoy this massive plane that looks like a beluga whale flying through our skies instead.
 

It’s called the Airbus Beluga XL, and is set to enter service later this year. Unfortunately, it’s not a passenger plane (yet), and is destined to be a super-transporter plane, shipping aircraft components between Airbus’ European production sites.
 
Airbus have got five of these beasts though, so chances are – if you’re in Europe – you might be lucky enough to see the whale-shaped plane winging it through the skies.
 
So how did the plane designers settle on using a beluga whale as the inspiration for their new plane? They took a vote, of course, giving Airbus employees the chance to decide between several options of animal. The beluga reportedly came out on top, with 40 per cent of the vote, CNN reports. I think they should’ve gone with hammerhead shark but again, I’m no expert.
