📖 ABOUT THE AIRBUS BELUGA

The Airbus Beluga (officially the A300-600ST Super Transporter) is one of the most distinctive and extraordinary aircraft in the sky. Based on the Airbus A300-600 widebody airliner, the Beluga features a massively enlarged upper fuselage section that gives it its characteristic whale-like appearance - hence its nickname "Beluga" after the white whale species.

First introduced in 1995, the Beluga was specifically designed to transport large aircraft components between Airbus production facilities across Europe. Its voluminous cargo hold can carry entire aircraft fuselage sections, wings, and other oversized components that would be impossible to transport by any other means. The cargo compartment measures 7.4 meters (24 feet) in diameter and 37.7 meters (124 feet) in length - larger than its own fuselage!

The aircraft's distinctive nose section hinges open upward, allowing cargo to be loaded and unloaded from the front. This unique design makes the Beluga instantly recognizable at airports around the world. Only five original Belugas were built, making sightings of these magnificent aircraft a special treat for aviation enthusiasts.

The Beluga represents the pinnacle of specialized cargo aviation and stands as a testament to innovative aerospace engineering. It's not just a cargo plane - it's the aircraft that builds other aircraft, making it essential to Airbus's global manufacturing network.

🔧 OPENING NOSE MECHANISM - CARE INSTRUCTIONS

The functional opening nose is a premium feature that requires gentle handling:

How to Use:

• Support the fuselage firmly with one hand before opening the nose

• Gently lift the nose section upward using the hinge mechanism

• Open to approximately 45-60 degrees - do not force beyond natural stopping point

• Close gently, ensuring proper alignment before releasing

Important Tips:

• Use gentle, steady pressure when operating the nose mechanism

• Avoid forcing if resistance is felt - check for obstacles

• This is a display model (ages 14+), not a toy - handle with care

💡 Display & Care Tips

Display on a stable surface - the unique shape requires secure placement

Keep away from direct sunlight to preserve the distinctive white and blue livery

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth - pay special attention to the nose hinge area

Display with nose open or closed depending on your preference

When handling, always support the main fuselage - never lift by the nose section

Perfect for aerospace museums, aviation collections, or office displays
