(Being honest I prefer the Airbus Beluga
)

So let me get this straight: the 747 is being made to transport parts for the 787. Will this plane be used during the entire production run of the 787 to ferry parts or is this just Engineering Development work? Seems like a lot of expense to add to the production of the 787...

747 giving a 787 a piggyback
Nice but Airbus Beluga is still the biggest beast
Theres another shot on a.net somewhere of a small airbus being transported
Inside this

p.s. how many of these airbuses are there around now and where do they fly, because I've never seen one?

Beluga? I thought it was a A318
Not much difference...

By all accounts its an A300 8) So I'm assuming the new 747 will be bigger in its height, length, width. But which has the bigger capacity?

perhaps, but not for definite, the external dimentsion could be larger, but the capacity of the fuselage is somewhat independant of this, to an extent anyway!

Anyone who thinks an A300 fuselage would outperform a 744fuselage in terms of cargo capacity (despite modification!) needs a reality check. Seriously.
The 744 LCF will spank the Beluga by some 500 cubic metres, minimum. Thats my guess

As it happens you are correct, and scarily close on the actual value!!
The Boeing: 1,845
The Airbus: 1400
Both figures in Meters Cubed.
