Airbus A340 POWER!✈ What a MACHINE! A340-200, A340-300, A340-500 and A340-600

Seen here are all the Airbus A340 subvariants (-200, -300, -500 and -600) landing or taking off with an immense power.
Have you seen an aircraft climbing very slow on takeoff and made a hairdryer sound? Good chance that it could have been an Airbus A340, also known as the “hairdryer” nicknamed after its engine cone shapes like a hairdryer. The Airbus A340 is a much beloved aircraft in aviation. This footage was taken at different airports around the world. Down below you at the time stamps you can see if the airlines still operates the A340 or if it has phased them out. ⇊For more info & plane shortcuts⇊
The Airbus A340 made its first flight in 1991. The shortest of the A340 variants is the A340-200 measures 59.4 m (195 ft), and can cover 12,400 km / 6,700 nmi with 210-250 seats in 3-class. The most common of the A340s, the A340-300 can reach 63.7 m (209 ft) to accommodate 250-290 passengers and has a 13,500 km / 7,300 nmi range. The A340-500 is 67.9 m (223 ft) long to seat 270-310 over 16,670 km / 9,000 nmi, the longest-range airliner at the time. The longest A340-600 is stretched to 75.4 m (247 ft), then the longest airliner until the Boeing 747-8 was made. The Airbus A340-600 can accommodate up to 320-370 passengers over 14,450 km / 7,800 nmi. The A340 was designed next to the more successful Airbus A330. "Only" 377 A340 were delivered. Unfortunately for aviation enthusiasts airlines are phasing out the Airbus A340 as is it not as fuel efficient as twin engined aircraft, and costs more in maintenance.

The A340 is an awesome aircraft with a great record. It's an aircraft that should be widely used. I wish I could fly on one

[@nightflight6877]

That Azerbaijan livery is pretty cool.

[@davidcole333]

If there is a more beautiful livery than the Azerbaijan, I don't know what it is. That aircraft is gorgeous.

[@johnkennedy3867]

A340 was my favourite to fly on. Loved the 2-4-2 seat configuration.

Still the best looking passenger sub sonic of all time particularly the 340-600 that's what a plane should look like .

Superb collection of the best aircraft ever built by Airbus. Excellent work sir.

[@haydaral-assadi8946]

Thank you very much for the video

[@Mark-pp7jy]

Towards the end of my career with Delta in MSP, Virgin brought in a football club on a 340-600. Was able to do a walk around, and interior tour. It's a behemoth! 🙂

[@CosmicGate184]

The A340-200 and 300 had everything - except power 😁 But the A340-600 is amazing...

[@eckie4679]

That’s been said more than once but it flies and has an excellent safety record so it has enough power

[@nakamichi682zx]

​@@eckie4679 I fully agree. And it's a literally perfect safety record... only one mishap with an overshoot and hull loss in Canada (no fatalities), but otherwise, a superb record.

[@palonazo]

@@eckie4679 It has enough power but it's a pain in the ass. You're not the one flying it.

[@eckie4679]

Doubt whether a You Tube commenter has flown it either 🙄

[@ChrisZoomER]

The A340-200 isn’t so much of a pencil plane compared to its other variants, still every bit as astounding!

[@PilotSanderHD]

Absolutely! The -200 variant is strange to see compared to the -600 variant😂

BeautIful plane!!!

[@starpawsy]

These were beautiful planes. Shame that economics killed them.

[@user-jv1gr3tu5x]

copy cat that's all airbus industries does they even copied the DC 10-11 with the third wheel in the middle of this managerie

[@the-real-shadotr00]

​@@user-jv1gr3tu5xqhat do you mean AiRbUs iS a cOpYcAt and they "copied" the middle landing gear frm the DC-10 thats literally because the plane is so heavy that it needs the landing gear they didnt "copy" the extra landing gear makes the plane more expensive

[@eckie4679]

Not so much economics but rather advances in aircraft technology and reliability of twin engined aircraft

I noticed the 340-600 have a middle landing train with move wheels, compared to the 340-300 with one large wheel.

A340 a great aircraft out of favour for more efficient twin engines more fuel efficient now

Nice aircraft, I've always liked the 330/340, but there is nothng power about the 340. Notoriusly low performance on take off and climb.

[@TonyM132]

I like A340's, but... How many times are you going to post the same video? This is at least the third A340 compilation video on your channel using nearly all the same clips.

[@r12004rewy]

TonyM132 don't watch it then.

[@sapankumarchakraverty3647]

A340 the best replacement to Boeing 707 .....this plane should stay on in business!

[@CosmicGate184]

Not really competitive anymore compared to the A350 and 777X

[@eliecersuarez2966]

Why does it say A340-500 in the title even though there is none in the video?
