November 11, 20205 yr Beadryman - take a look at a passenger A330 and you may see why. The pax 330s (and 340s) have a noticeable nose-low deck angle. I believe that when Airbus was developing the freighter that concern was expressed regarding loading difficulties with a sloping floor, hence they designed the bulge to level the aircraft rather than redesign (increase the length) the nose leg. Airbus' later pax converted freighters don't have the bulge (the freighter floors have powered handling systems built in). https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/46894/how-was-the-bump-removed-from-the-airbus-p2f Mark Robinson Part-time Ferroequinologist Author of FLIGHT: A near-future short story (ebook available on amazon) I made the baby cry - A2A Simulations L-049 Constellation Sky Simulations MD-11 V2.2 Pilot.
