Airbus introduces their new Beluga XL

Airbus introduces the first of planned five new Beluga XL in its smiling livery. It will get the name "XL1" as usual for the Beluga Series on the front of the plane. The Airbus Beluga XL will fly with two Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engines which are already used on the Airbus a330.

The new Beluga will be used to transport the hull and the wings of the a350. When it does its first flight it will be the 6th plane in the Beluga Series.
