All hail the Sky Whale: The gigantic Airbus cargo plane called Beluga

The aptly-named Airbus Beluga resembles a giant whale, but it's really a behemoth of the skies. The triple-decker aircraft is designed to transport lightweight but oversized cargo, like airplane wings. The Beluga is really an Airbus A300 aircraft, which originally carried 600 passengers, that was refitted to transport aircraft parts around Europe.
