The Airbus A300-600ST (Super Transporter) or Beluga is a version of the standard Airbus A300 wide-body airliner, modified to carry aircraft parts and over-sized or awkward cargo. It was officially called the Super Transporter at first, but the name Beluga became popular and has now been adopted as official.

I believe it can fit ~ 1 billion kittens.

Quite a testament to modern engineering. Would've been cool to see it next to a regular 747 to get an idea of the scale of the thing.

Here is a picture.

Reminds me of this blackalicious lyric

"I can think of nothing heavier than an airplane
I can think of no greater conglomerate of steel and metal
I can think of nothing less likely to fly
There are no wings more weighted"

actually all airplanes remind me of that lyric, but this one certainly takes the cake.

it didn't even look like it was going fast enough to take off!!!
