  1. They are as long as two blue whales, just to continue the whale. They're the biggest whale in the world as a result, aren't they? Oh, nice. They're designed they can carry two wings for an Airbus A350, which is itself a really big plane. They were designed, I think, specifically to carry two of those to fit them in because those wings are massive. The whole face of the whale comes off.

You don't load them in the back, you just pull off the whale's head.
