Beluga Optimised for Shipping Air

The Beluga is optimised for shipping a lot of air. By that I mean large, but very low density, items such as aircraft sections (or whole aircraft) - which are just a bit of structure surrounding a _LOT_ of air. A Beluga would be fine for shipping feathers, but doesn't seem to make sense for average- or high-density items.
