Airbus has advanced plans to offer its A300-600ST Beluga (BelugaST) as an outsized cargo platform, developing and testing a bespoke loading system for the aircraft.
The manufacturer announced the milestone on 21 September, saying the capability was successfully tested during a verification exercise with the German armed forces (Bundeswehr), the system's first customer, by loading a VFW-Sikorsky CH-53G heavy-lift transport helicopter.
“The new self-funded cargo loading system and jig, developed by engineers at Airbus Defence and Space (DS), have now been unveiled to customer representatives from international armed forces following the verification event in Manching, north of Munich,” Airbus said in a statement. “The system was developed and manufactured from scratch in one-and-a-half years – from the initial exchange of ideas with the German customer to its verification, which is still subject to final confirmation by the Bundeswehr in the coming weeks.”
