Slow Climb! Lufthansa A340-300 Takeoff in the rain from Frankfurt | D-AIGL

[@DerivsBank1ng]

Rumour has it, the A343 is still in the cloud layer....

[@saleh-306R]

😂

[@힐만94]

and still deploy its slats for lift assistance🤣

[@BrodyatCWWS]

That roar sounds amazing! Instantly liked!

[@christianbayerstein5243]

Same sound as an Airbus A320ceo, because they share the same engines 😂

[@Е.М-ч8р]

It SLOW!

[@EmilePadja]

Great aircraft, great video. Thanks for sharing

[@Lance.planes.and.more1]

Just beautiful. Well, there is that thing with the weather ☁️

[@RedneckSpaceman]

You know what's worse than a Drizzly, Rainy Day?? A Drizzly, Rainy Day when it's Cold as Hell!!

[@Lance.planes.and.more1]

@@RedneckSpaceman I'm over in NL so I know all about it 😂 🥶

[@WINGSANDRAILS]

Great video! thanks for charing

[@bradbel]

Someone once said the A340 has “4 hair dryers on its wings.” Still a beautiful airplane though.

[@힐만94]

some says this plane is powered by 5 apu 😅

[@derstein98]

@@힐만94 some say it only takes off due to the curvature of the earth

[@chrisschross2497]

Great vid! I also was in the same seat in an A340-300 the sound was amazing from Frankfurt to JFK

[@ricardosam8050]

Other beast behinds queen of sky she beautiful I love her 747 😊😊😊😊 love A340 also beautiful take off

[@robertworm6469]

Stefan Lane-Hülsenberg did his retirement flight on D-AIGL, watch it on plane mania. Luckily, the old lady survived Covid and we can still enjoy her.

[@stormeagle28]

Which part of the plane is the foremost part during an A330-300 takeoff? The thrust levers.

[@winfriedgareis9551]

the slats are going in take off position -we took off lots of times from FRA 💖 feels great...

[@JohannesFabender]

Are the slats stuck..?

[@1tothe2the3]

Heavy aircraft plus you want to get to altitude more than you want to build speed so slats stay out

[@fallisangle9046]

That was anything but slow😅 I watched the takeoff twice, it's really nice,,, Thanks

[@r12004rewy]

Still a beautiful aircraft though, I believe there has never been a crash involving a 340

[@힐만94]

err, air france flight 358 in toronto?

[@r12004rewy]

I should have stated 'fatal' crash but thank you for bringing this to my attention. Still a stunning aircraft though and safe .

[@roberthowell7095]

I believe all the A340's except the A340-600 had the smaller engines built for the A320 series. The 600 did get larger and more powerful engines.

[@힐만94]

A340-500 has bigger engines too 😉

[@thatskyteamflyer]

FRAPORT!!!!!

[@RedneckSpaceman]

Question: Is the A340 currently the only 4 Engine, Single Aisle, Single Level Airliner in Service? At least with the Major Airlines?? The only other Quad Engine Planes I can think of are the A380 and 747.

[@petermerz3325]

It‘s not single aisle!

[@florian_spdl]

Ilyushin IL-96 (1 in service for the public by Cubana)

[@Leon.828]

🛫🥎 (Earth curvature take-off)

[@joedi6339]

The A340 has a low climb rate in due to the underpowered engines

[@timoswindowseat7045]

This Plane is named after the town I was born. Unfortunately I was never flying with her.

[@flippert0]

My first look at the thumbnail: "why did they film that in B+W?". But no, it's just a rainy day in Frankfurt.

[@Nosferatu295]

Die alte Wanderdüne 😅

[@Airplanes.24.7]

They’ve been running a daily A346 service to SEA with a few random days swapped for an A343 (through Oct. 26). I’m curious, was this a maintenance swap or did you book this route on an A343 in advance? Also how was capacity? Great looking thumbnail 👍

[@VRef_Aviation]

LH were running the A343 daily last year when I took this flight. I booked it for the A343 (although a daytime A346 flight would have been great!)

[@Airplanes.24.7]

@@VRef_Aviation Got it, just saw the flight’s date. That makes sense

[@visionist7]

Row 1 of Premium economy?

[@VRef_Aviation]

2nd row

[@baki5878]

I worked here...

[@TheColinChapman]

Q: why does the A343 climb? A: it doesn’t, it‘s the curvature of the earth…

[@Logan11thMEU]

Hey it could be worse. It could have been an AeroSurce 727

[@nikolauswolff5791]

Slow climb ? Rather a normal climb. A slow plane can't get airborne.

[@cosmojairzinho14]

What a piece of underpowered crap... I hate that aircraft, Lufthansa will fly the shit out of it until nothing is Left..

[@r12004rewy]

Totally disagree the 346 is a stunning looking aircraft, so long and sleek, it's how a aircraft should look
