The A340-200 and-300 were originally meant to be powered by a new geared turbofan engine, the IAE Superfan, but IAE cancelled production of the engine. So Airbus decided to use whatever engine they could find that would fit , the CFM 56. The -500 and -600 variants received the more powerful RR Trent 500.

They could have used the engines of the 757, but to compete against the Boeing 777 they had to save on costs so they went to the A320 parts bin to get the engines and help reduce maintenance costs with the commonality. The A340 still ended up being too costly despite this measure.

@gteixeira It wasn't matinence costs so much as it was about fuel efficiency. The IAE superfan was supposed to be revolutionary, producing good amounts of thrust with never seen before efficiency. The problem was that IAE couldn't get the technology for the geared turbofan right, and in fact, it wouldn't be developed for another 20+ years by Pratt & Whitney. Airbus' whole marketing idea with the A340 was for it to be an extremely efficient quad jet, so when IAE gave up on the superfan, Airbus needed to find something that matched the fuel efficiency they had been planning for and advertising, the only engine that fit that bill was the CFM-56. It certainly did have the added benefit of commonality with the A320, but the main reason was for fuel efficiency.

They may be underpowered. (200 and 300) But inflight. The endurance of the plane in range makes up for it. It would help if your flaps where set accordingly. Which I am sure the 200/300 has a different flap setting compared to the 500/600.

You didn't even use the most powerful GE90 variant ever produced, the GE90-115b. That one can do 115,000 pounds of thrust. Across four engines it would add an extra 60,000 pound of thrust. (Which is about half of the thrust the plane had with its original engines.)

Can do you one better with that. The Trent 97 from the A350-1000 would also suffice in a tri-jet configuration A380. The Trent-97, while less powerful than the GE-9X, its a fair amount more efficient, and is still powerful enough to produce more thrust in a tri-jet configuration on the A380, than it currently is in a quad jet configuration currently. The A380 uses 4 Trent 900s, which produce a combined thrust of 280,000lbs 3 Trent 97s would produce 291,000lbs of thrust, 11,000lbs more, all while being roughly 35% more efficient than the current A380. The A380 in this hypothetical tri-jet configuration would boast significantly improved efficiency, as well better take-off, and landing performance. Unfortunately though, while creating this hypothetical tri-jet A380 has some massive benefits, it'd be more trouble than its worth. The third engine would necessitate a complete redesign of the A380's tail, and due to the complete change of weight an balance due to this third engine, much of the aircrafts internal structure would have to be completely redone to compensate for the aircrafts altered center of mass. It'd likely cost Airbus way more money than they're willing to spend to redesign the A380 in this way, since, even with all of the massive benefits this aircraft would have over its predecessor, it still probably wouldn't sell well enough for it to be worth it.
