I live about 10 miles from Boeing factory in Everett, (PAE). The Dream Lifter screams over my house at least 2-3 times/week. It’s beautiful to see the 747 fly over.
Actually the Beluga is Airbus' attempt to get one over on Boeing, they build the Guppy any a more modern version of it (or at least one of the companies they bought did).
@@miks564 And the Pregnant Guppy was built in 1962 from a Boeing 377. So, if you're trying for some kind of who did it first contest - you lose. in fact, Airbus used a Super Guppy in the early 1970's to transport fuselage sections between different assembly locations. Isn't that ironic? Using a modified BOEING aircraft to transport Airbus parts? BTW - the Beluga is a lot smaller and has far less cargo carrying capacity than the Dream Lifter.
Buckhorn Cortez Actually the Beluga XL has a bigger volume capacity than the Dreamlifter. And this isn’t about what company did what first. Boeing has started 100 years ago, it has twice the age. This is to point that the Beluga didn’t possibly came after the Dreamlifter because it actually came first, and these companies do not waste money building cargo versions of their aircraft for their own use because of someone else has built something. They build them because they actually need them. These are not marketable aircraft. They only build them for their own operations. And despite having arrive much later, Airbus has had many firsts in modern aviation, and the proof is there for anyone to see. It is now Boeing the one playing catch up.
Michael Adams It was meant as a joke. With three floors there would leave no room for luggage, but at least part of the level below the main deck is pressurised on some 747s because the older models have various systems down there which can be accessed in flight through either a hatch in the floor or a small lift.
I've actually seen both the Dreamlifter and the Supper Guppy. I used to fly into Charleston on a regular basis, and used to see it there all the time. Saw the Guppy at an airshow.
its my fav airport (Cargo wise) i usually get flights to and from ANC from MIA, right now the second dreamlifter is here for her maintenance. its the second time ive ever saw one :))
M Riz Is Back then Boeing manufactured almost everything in the same place, Everett, Washington, and the few things that weren’t were transported using ships and trains. Nowadays more stuff is created worldwide but Boeing still makes a lot of things in the same place. The dream lifter was mostly made to transfer parts for the 787 from their North Charleston plant to their Everett plant.
Why does the dreamlifter not have winglets? Does it have to do with the short range and the winglets only being effective at longer haul? I know the -400D didn’t have winglets either
Best case scenario: perhaps if the A380 scales back after the epidemic grounded them, we’d probably see the Dreamlifter variant actually have double decker passenger carriage for long haul flights. Pipe dream maybe, but currently in aviation there’s a power vaccuum waiting to grace the skies once more.
Swing away tail on the Beluga and Dreamlifter an new idea, I don't think so. Canadair CL44 had swing away tails and was first flown in 1959, and went into service in 1960.
These fuckers fly over me near daily. The approach path to Paine takes them directly over my house. They are LOUD! You can always tell one from other planes as the engines have a very unique, almost tinny sound. And they dwarf everything else in the sky.
When a corporation will go to these Lengths to save time and money then something basically wrong with the system. If the goal is to pay upper management tens of millions of dollars a year for coming up with these ideas, that everything is working just fine
Why not just build the 787 in the place where the parts are? I don't get this whole "let's build a wing here, the engines there and put all together at the other end of the world" Sorta like "Hey let's build rockets at THE OTHER END of the country so we have to ship them two weeks to get to the launch site". Can someone please explain? To me it looks like there's just a lotta money wasted on transporting stuff from a to b to c and from there to the other end of the alphabet
Im more the Dreamlifter guy and my girlfriend is more the Beluga XL girl, both never seen the Beluga, ive already seen the dreamlifter twice... i think i know who gets the crown
Honestly this plane looks damn ugly, I kinda liked Boeing,i mean just look at the front part of the plane,it is a boeing 747 attached to the an airbus Beluga

Actually it is the other way around.
Airbus Beluga started operation 12 years earlier than Boeing Dreamlifter.

The Dreamlifter gives birth to a Dreamliner
Thanks, because I needed that image.
I'm trying to gain intrest in aviation
Thanks to this channel just subbed a week back and the content is amazing
Why?😁
Alternative use: Three floor passenger aircraft for ultra low cost flights across the Atlantic.
Unfortunately only the flight deck is pressurized. Shape of fuselage will not support being pressurized (shape)

In anchorage you see an-124, 747 freighters and dreamlifters,737 cargo,757 cargo,767 cargo 777cargo and more all the time...
Yep, and Raptors, C-17's and AWACS at JBER.

This thing is the hunchback of Seattle
Everything coming out of Boeing is a hideous monster at the moment......
“Is the longest cargo aircraft” excuse me but the C-5 and AN-225 would like to chat.
AN225: send me location, location!!!
Hello you forgot about Russian planes.
Lovevia Madeenah like what? All the big non US planes are Ukrainian. I can’t think of a single Russian transport that is larger than the dreamlifter.
@@tl5606 the An 225
Lovevia Madeenah I mentioned the An, it’s also Ukrainian not Russian.
Now that would be the ultimate private jet (3 bdrm, 21/2 bath with swimming pool and hot tub). ;-)
But what was before it like which vhecial or thing carried the parts for the 707 ?

same thing
tarmac is just the surface material
Me too. I was cringing
Tarmac isnt a word in aviation the media just came up with that word
i live in melbourne and went to the seattle boeing factory and saw 2 of the 4 boeing dreamlifter in sep 2019
1:39 *TARMAC*
Your point?
so? tarmac is the material
Thanks for this amazing content
I keep on asking myself: how can those PW 4062, GE CF6-80C2B5F, RR RB211-524G/H engine can Carrie that aircraft.
They do it with aplomb.
@@dmc2554 😎👍
Because it has 4 of those, but I'm still in question of what kind of black magic airbus does lifting the belugaxl with only 2 RR T700
Saw the original in Seattle, before it was painted, early 2007. Was more interested in the An-124 parked near it, but it was impressive.
interesting!
But wait what transporter the parts for the dreams lifter
I saw 2 at the Boeing factory! It was amazing to see the actual scale of these beasts of planes.
Can you also show meters etc?
Why does the dreamlifter not have winglets? Does it have to do with the short range and the winglets only being effective at longer haul? I know the -400D didn’t have winglets either
This narrator sounds like the Geico gecko.
Roit.
I thought he sounded like a close relative of Roddy McDowell.
I'm surprised it took Boeing so long to do this, Airbus had been doing this for ages.
I was in love when I saw it for the first time a decade ego
Boeing: How should we transport this parts?
Airbus:(Use Beluga)
Boeing: Let's make a Boeing version
Yet I don't think the beluga can take wide bodies
1:39, I thought you were an aviation channel?
Do what is the crj705

Its pretty obvious tho, they need a transporter
Because it looks cool, that´s why.
Why did Boeing build the dreamlifter? - "Overnight parts from... JAPAN!" Jesse would be happy
Can u pls make a vid about wizz air
rizz air💀
Swing away tail on the Beluga and Dreamlifter an new idea, I don't think so. Canadair CL44 had swing away tails and was first flown in 1959, and went into service in 1960.
I see them quite often over my house on a flight radar app going between Seattle and North Carolina
Boeing: Airbus is so inefficient with their manufacturing all over Europe.
Also Boeing: Let's get those wings from Japan.
Did Boeing ever say that?
1:05 china airline (Taiwan) not air china
Is it just ironic Airbus planes were made on the bases of Boeing
The super guppy was actually a Boeing made aircraft.
from time to time, beluga's fly right over my house. Always fun to see and track them on flightradar24
When Boeing is not there, Airbus would be only a dream
@@HearthomeChargersDawn Airbus is a dream, and Boeing is nowadays a total nightmare
@@lex1945 No
@@DorianTMChannel yes
I thought the thumbnail was clickbait, but it's not...!
How can off shoring plane manufacturing be cheaper if you don't do the whole plane off shore?
Don't get it. Makes sense for software, but ... ?
They should make a dreamlifter-2 from a 747-8
Boeing sure likes using the word dream
Now make that into a passenger plane
"Boeing bought four 747-400s."
*audible confusion*
Short answer: To lift dreams
imagine this, a few of these planes to fight fire anywhere in the world and water delivery to drought stricken location anywhere in the world.
Mary Magat
These planes can carry more volume but not more weight.
I assume these are all powered by PW engines.
cnordegren you are correct in saying that
These fuckers fly over me near daily. The approach path to Paine takes them directly over my house. They are LOUD! You can always tell one from other planes as the engines have a very unique, almost tinny sound. And they dwarf everything else in the sky.

To transport parts for the Dreamliner.
Aww it's pregnant 😁

Looks like it has a Goiter

My friend keeps on asking this
So that's the next project after the 737 Nightmaregiver?
Odelaly The Rogue 737 Dreamkiller
... to transport alien air craft and life forms ?
If anyone has interest in the dream lifter subscribe to 74Gear, he’s a dream lifter pilot
Because why not?

To carry big stuff.
Why Did they Build an Aircraft that looks Like it has cancerous growths ?
Imagine a billioniare customising this model to multi storey.
They are pretty fat it's like a pregnant 747 or a too thick 747 which makes it look kinda ugly..
Let's just agree on it looking a bit bulky.. in my opinion, Airbus' Belugas look and feels much sleeker ;)
2:38 Philippine airline 747
very large plane
Im more the Dreamlifter guy and my girlfriend is more the Beluga XL girl, both never seen the Beluga, ive already seen the dreamlifter twice... i think i know who gets the crown
For the same reason airbus built the beluga
Boeing shpuld build the entire 787
Calling airbus would have been cheaper
For Area 51 usage, who knows?
Evergreen built the dreamlifter, not Boeing
Dreamlifter, dreamliner, dream er
The most obvious thing you could have answered is what happened to them.
METRIC FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol boeing bought a plane back that they made : )
yeah, and? thats not unusual
When it rains they become wet Dreamlifters
