Most people don't seem to understand, this is the LAST DELIVERED XL, so they will be in use for the next 20/30 years, no more production or orders of XL, now they will be fully in service :) They will be seen more than before
@@datutturugang666 that's all gonna change as Airbus has recently opened an air cargo company which will exclusively use the classic Beluga airplanes (so NOT the newer XL versions. Beluga XL is entirely dedicated to transporting airplane parts). So yeah...the older Beluga planes are gonna become freighter aircrafts
I think the reason for all the confusion in the comments is that the word "delivery" could mean the aircraft itself was delivered from the factory (the intended meaning) or a payload was delivered somewhere BY the aircraft, which is what a lot of us thought when we saw the video title.
Nothing happened guys! It's the last delivery, not retirement, plus the beluga will never die, when the time comes, just like the for the beluga st, a new beluga will take's it place, expect to see these things fly for atleast 15-20 years!
The cutest group of planes in the sky. Period. I wonder, in a sea of super transporter planes with fish names from Airbus (and the guppies), if an A380 could have a future (maybe like the SUPER Beluga)
That would be impossible. As an A380 Beluga Is Now Double The Weight and double the height. If it's double the height, Airbus would need to build a delivery centre double the height as well.
@@SpeedbirdProdzz so bigger wings with larger engines and more engines, would have more power and more lift, so you think it wouldn't take off. Can explain that theory?
@@matthewbaynham6286 The A380 is already extremely heavy, adding the extra cargo needs would ad a good 1,000 pounds for electronics for a large cargo door and other things like that, then the cargo that it would be carrying ads like 5,000 pounds and it would need a very large runway and little fuel to be able to fly long routes. That’s why the A380 F never happened
An A340-based Beluga was considered by Airbus, but neither the A340 or A380 would be able to use the relatively short runway at the Broughton wing plant in North Wales.
The first generation of Beluga's have a lot of differences compared to today's Beluga. Many things stay the same though, The Beluga Whale Shape, The large cargo capacity and it being an Airbus Transporter. The new beluga today does have a mouth around the cockpit and winglets, as it is an A330-743l, and the predecessor was an A300-600ST. The beluga is a beautiful aircraft and will stay in the sky for years to come.
Not really. What were they meant to do? Build their own version? The guppy planes were needed for the a300 which means since it hadn’t existed yet the a300 wouldn’t be bringing in money that they could use to build their own. It’s not crazy at all. Very sensible. Also they were mainly from NASA so it’s not as if they bought them from Boeing
I just appriciate that the entire front of an Airbus plane can hinge right off, and be structurally fine when it's put back, meanwhile Boeing can't even hold a door in their 737 MAXs.
Delivery of XL1 means Airbus now has all Belugas in service. To my understanding the XL1 was held back for additional certification and tests, but now the program is finished and the XL1 could be delivered to it's actual purpose.
Congrats on the 6th and last delivery of this whale. Don’t worry both the ST and XL ones will be flying for years to come, and maybe randomly come to your home airport near you :)
Why is everyone acting like the beluga is being retired, they’ve just delivered all of the beluga’s that airbus needs 🤷♂️
Because in the near future they'll replace it with something else, that some people call: "Futuristic ugliness"
@@Gelaviation wha?
Bro this is a sad moment for all 'aviation enthuses'.
🗿💯🐳
They’re just dumb
Most people don't seem to understand, this is the LAST DELIVERED XL, so they will be in use for the next 20/30 years, no more production or orders of XL, now they will be fully in service :)

Exactly
consider that nobody except airbus themselves use the beluga, it’s their own personal big cargo plane for delivering aircraft parts

Beluga XL is entirely dedicated to transporting airplane parts). So yeah...the older Beluga planes are gonna become freighter aircrafts
@@Adrenaline_chaser weren’t they already 100% freighter aircrafts whatsoever? to me a plane who solely flies cargo sounds pretty much like a freighter
@@datutturugang666yes but they'll be open to customers. Perhaps they didn't use the best wording
Don’t say goodbye! It just means 6 out of 6 BelugaXL were built and put in services! NOT RETIRING!
oh ok thanks
If airbus retires all 6 of it's beluga XL after the end of their service life, they may design another transporter, most likely based on the A380.
@@MattOdtujanI think that pretty much is too expensive for just that, I mean the 225 is “two” much for Airbus, the belugas are perfect sized.
And those converted A380 will most likely have new engines.
@@MattOdtujan the A380 has been out of production since 2021, and its final assembly line has been converted for A320 family manufacturing.

4:08 isn't that satisfying how perfectly lined up the plane is with the facility floor
Living in the north west of England, I love seeing these fly overhead every so often on their way to and from the Airbus factory at Broughton.

I am so proud of Airbus!
Human beings are fucking awesome
Airbus are one of the few companies that make me proud to be European😢
Yo… smart words brother…
and Boeing makes me hate being american
True..
I feel the same & I am not European
Same
Such a beautiful piece of engineering
just a basic plane lol you want true beautiful enginering look at USA aerospace, we OWN the world 🦅
thumbs up for not ruining visuals and audio with overeager promotional voices :)

Airbus BlueWhale
Airbus be like: I used the Beluga to make the Beluga
I just wish that Airbus had used the A380 as a base for the Beluga, that would have been a really Super XXXL transporter.
It wouldn’t be able to take off. While it would be awesome it would be way way to heavy

That thing would need 6 GE9X’s just to take off
i live near Hamburg, and i once saw her slow and low above my haed - i was stunned about her sice and silence ..
Absolutely beautiful aircraft
well, good on airbus for finishing production. i hope to see these in use for a very long time
man time really flies. now all are delivered and in service
The final BelugaXL livery really warms my heart
Super guppy, beluga ST, Beluga XL
"I used the stones to destroy the stones."
i haven't looked at The Belgua in probably yrs this looks detailed & unique ime.
damn, it is crazy how airbus delivered its last BelugaXL, I hope they do not retire anytime soon.
Amazing, unique plane!
I love the beluga and I also love the way you made the eye wink on the 6th one 😉
Time really flies
And so do Airbus aircraft 😮

The most beautiful aircraft livery design ever!!

Airbus says that’s enough Beluga’s and I’m happy about your Amazing history ❤
I’ve always wanted to know this planes story, thanks Airbus!!
Guys it just means theyve completed all the beluga builds and theyre putting those in servic3
Airbus is the aviation leader
No Boeing is because it’s older
@@Aviator381What kind of clown logic is that?
@@oliverlok554 Boeing older so it’s the leader jk it’s wright planes
Now we need those 3 to line up.
lineup complete 🔥🔥🔥
Bro it's the cutest aircraft I have ever seen
It’s crazy how they used to use the Boeing super guppy
Not really. What were they meant to do? Build their own version? The guppy planes were needed for the a300 which means since it hadn’t existed yet the a300 wouldn’t be bringing in money that they could use to build their own.

Wow, how long did this take you to write it? By the way thanks for the feedback. You made me learn something.
@@Boeing_aviation732 less than 2 minutes. Wasn’t a lot of writing
"Every Airbus is delivered on a wings of a Boeing"
The super guppy wasn’t made by Boeing.
Its probably the cutest airplane ever 😂😂😂
Amazing!
Their belugas is done being produced
And they are entering the service
Airbus needs to make a A380 Beluga XXL
Such a wonderful aircraft
Man, I love the beluga
you did a great job airbus, nice
Thank you beluga for transporting us some plane parts to our countries
I love beluga
If there is need for more, more will come. No time for wrong nostalgia
I thought they meant that its the last delivery that the beluga XL will do thanks god
Probably the cutest planes out there. I mean, look at that wink 4:00 😉
you will always fly high in our hearts 😘😘
Airplanes are evolving steadily.
Dang and I saw 3 at the same time on the same screen on flightradar✨
Is it just me or is it sad to see all these iconic planes end production
i wonder if the next one will be based on the a330 neo or the a350 or something completely different
fun fact: super guppy is the last descendant of b29 superfortress
btw airbus needs to build beluga xxl, based on a350 freighter
earthlings: lets build 5 big planes to move parts to another place. Aliens: lets build everything at the same location
Airbus please I beg you dont retire the a380
Imagine in the next 20-30 years they re-made a new Beluga based on the A350 family
This amazing! I wonder wonder what the next airbus cargo plame will be
A350F
@@williamwildcathe means the next one to carry plane parts
I love the beluga!
Man the beluga is a good plane
2:18 I like how the ST delivered the parts for XL 😂
aww, sad that the beluga is ending production, i remember seeing the first ever one in toulouse, france while in a tour in their factory
It is ending production, but at least every beluga is delivered and in service for the next decade or 2
I just appriciate that the entire front of an Airbus plane can hinge right off, and be structurally fine when it's put back, meanwhile Boeing can't even hold a door in their 737 MAXs.
Imagine it is officially the Airbus A330-743L.
Your comment that you said ‘-743L’ is already an offical name (alongside the ‘Beluga XL’j
Day 88 of asking airbus to give me a free A350-1000
Isn't there one in MSFS 2020 for free or was it payware?
@@k.r.99 there is none yet
So lemmie get this straight. This is just the last BelugaXL DELIVERY. not the BelugaXL is going put of service correct?
Correct
@@eliecersuarez2966 aight. Thx

Airbus is trying to make it like the end of the 747 production😂😂
Really, I see a celebration of building their transport fleet.
So Sad 😢 Delivery
It’s not retire
why the raised floor section between the fwd and main gear?
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭WHY IT STOPPED IN PRODUCTION WE NEED MORE😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It will be in service for a decade or 2 so don't worry
I'm pretty sure Airbus knows how many they need.
@@LPPokefan true
After about 25 years when new transport planes are needed. What will it be beluga XLneo (A330neo) or beluga XXL (A350)
Im realizing im growing old... few years back it was just me dying to spot the ST...
BelugaXL6 is being delivered from assembly. It's not being retired.
Let's just hope they don't die out any time soon. As much as the beluga kinda looks weird, it still looks cool, and is a nice aircraft.
Guys don't worry this ain't the last BELUGAXL forever it's just not gonna have some orders for a bit.
Dude u don't understand. That is the last beluga XL and all beluga xl's are in service now.
It’s not the retirement…just the last delivery…plus I swear they gotta be working on a new beluga
Nice! 💯🙂
Congrats on the 6th and last delivery of this whale. Don’t worry both the ST and XL ones will be flying for years to come, and maybe randomly come to your home airport near you :)
rip guppy and beluga😢😢😢😢
Y’all keep acting like it’s retired it’s just done with production. It will remain in service 🤦🏾♂️
5/5 belugas
Now 6/6belugaXls
Waiting for beluga XWB
It may be the last, but interestingtly the original Beluga fleet is still operational, due to the gigantic backlog of A320neo Family and A350 orders.
We Lost BelugaXL 😔(edit) Goodbye BelugaXL Thanks To Help Building Plane!
6 is enough? Bro I'd build 4 more to make a whole Beluga family
That’s too much
Fantastic aircraft.
I'm surprised they don't convert retired pax A380, they're a bit in the chunky side.
LETS TAKE OUT REVENGE 😈⚔️
Why though
Nice
Update for the beluga will be xxl everyone get hyped
How does the Airbus BelugaXL run on 2 engines? Are they very very powerful engines?
This is as sad as the 747
Rail ways- state continues bespoke planes across TGV & schengen
Airbus beluga❤boeing dreamlifter🤮
That plane, will you do a new one?
3:40 So thats why they have numbers! 🙂↕️
I really hope they keep the beluga design when the planes are retired in 2050 or sm
4:00 cute begula :)
The 747 the A380 and now the beluga Bro what the heck.
Other likes beluga and their will no more beluga production😢
