The Beluga is the world's largest cargo aircraft in terms of volume, with a cargo compartment more than 23 feet in diameter and 123 feet long. (That's big enough to accommodate eight regulation bowling lanesàincluding gutters!) The 40,000-lb. module and its container are well within the Beluga's maximum lift capacity of 103,616 lb.
