Looks plain ugly… Even the Beluga is more elegant.
It’ll look rather different once is completed frankvw…

Just thought maybe it should be named JORDAN, they are both big and also made from manmade materials?

That first one is the fatigue test specimen I believe. It will never fly but go into the test rig. I suppose no engines will be fitted but weights to simulate them? Its got to be done so they can find the ‘life’ of the major components.

Apparently first flight is scheduled for January 2005.
Wouldn’t mind going to the Paris Air Show next year then. 😀
