Toulouse this week taken by my friend Matt . Heat haze was a particular problem for photography, but he managed to top up his sunburn at least! Happy to share this for him. Enjoy
Airbus in Toulouse is involved in both commercial and defence aviation. They have several sites around the city including:
The Airbus Training Centre which provides training for airlines on Airbus jetliners.
If you are ever in Toulouse, you can visit the Airbus facilities and learn more about their aircraft manufacturing process.
Airbus is a leading European aerospace manufacturer headquartered in Toulouse, France. The city is nicknamed "La Ville Rose" or "The Pink City" due to the terracotta brick used in many of its buildings.
Toulouse is considered the world capital of aeronautics and is home to a significant portion of Airbus's workforce.
There are also several museums in Toulouse dedicated to aviation history, including Aeroscopia.
Airbus Beluga (A300-600ST):
This is the original Beluga, a specialized wide-body airliner derived from the Airbus A300. It has a distinctive bulbous upper fuselage that earned it the nickname "Beluga" after the white whale due to its resemblance.
Five Beluga aircraft were built and first introduced in 1995. Their primary function is to transport Airbus aircraft parts and oversized cargo between various Airbus production sites across Europe. The Beluga fleet is being progressively replaced by the larger Beluga XL.
