Scenes from last Thursday’s maiden flight of Airbus’s new jumbo freighter – the Beluga XL – a jumbo freighter designed to ferry large sections of Airbus planes (up to 125 tonnes) to and from the company’s assembly plants in France and Germany.
The Beluga XL (the first of five such planes but not the first Airbus sky whale) now faces ten months of testing before going into commission.
A Fail Army compilation of ill-advised big air stunts.

A visualisation created from real data by UK air traffic control provider NATS, whose Paul Beauchamp sez:
It’s an amalgamation of two data sources – UK radar data from 21 June and European flight plan information from 28 July – and it clearly highlights the structure of airspace across the continent. A few highlights include the North Atlantic tracks that connect Europe with North America, the airways that run up the spine of the UK, the holding stacks at London’s capacity stretched airports and the military manoeuvres off Anglesey in Wales.
