World's Longest Flight! Singapore Airlines A340-500 Powerful Takeoff from Singapore | 9V-SGE

[@jubby1743]

Honestly, this is one of the most beautiful planes ever.

[@richardmarriott237]

I wish they would have kept it in service longer.

[@J_Flyer]

Oh...I'm gonna miss this A340-500. This is the most beautiful aircraft in SIA

[@ArielCastiglione]

Almost ten minutes climbing and still flaps 1 are selected. This bird was extremely heavy! Nice video!

[@AmericaWest90]

MTOW, probably.

[@RamakrishnanSRM]

The reason for flaps 1 is because: 1. The plane is in MTOW due to the enormous fuel for the record-long flight. 2. Climb rate will be much higher at a slower speed. Because Engine power will be prioritized for climbing rather than speed.

[@apgardude]

I noticed that unusual config... I was thinking maybe a noise abatement climb?

[@ecoRfan]

Good news: this flight is coming back. It's gonna use an A350 in ultra-long-range version.

[@ruhri0411]

+ecoRfan 19 hours in the economy class - a dream comes true :-)

[@ecoRfan]

SQ21/SQ22 had no econ seats whatsoever actually. All-luxury seating.

[@wewillrockyou1986]

+Mariban It is SIA economy, so it's better than it could be.

[@stebyh]

+ecoRfan Not entirely true. This flight started in June 2004 and back then the A345 was configured with 67 business class seats and 117 Executive economy class seats. They changed it to business class only in 2008.

[@jchavezz7774]

SIA A350 ULR has already been made just recently

[@ProNerdChannel]

a340 is still my favourite plane... hear these engines roar.. 00:56

[@alvexok5523]

I used to notice how the engines have that added motor sound to the jet engine sound during take-off and ascending, then the motor sound is shut off when reaching cruising altitude. That added motor sound I guess gives the plane extra power to lift it higher. Then it's not needed again because the plane then remains at the same height and then eventually descends. I also used to notice the engines quieting even more for descent. In other words, I guess that an aircraft is usually loudest at take-off, then a little quieter for cruising, and then quieter again for landing. Take-off is the loudest part due to the extra power a plane needs to lift itself higher against gravity. Pilots have said that it's possible to safely land a plane without the engines even on, but won't do it on a commercial flight for safety reasons

[@flyingdentist]

It's amazing that the flaps stay deployed for a long time after take off to gain altitude.The sound is outstanding.

[@WilliamMurphy-uv9pm]

Even with four engines, this aircraft is underpowered. Thus, long take-off runs and flap deployments. Once at cruise altitude she is a jewel.

[@1tothe2the3]

@@WilliamMurphy-uv9pm A345 & A346 are not underpowered. They do have very high MTOW however. The long runout and flaps 1 for so long is because this plane is at MOTW and climb is prioritized over speed.

[@WilliamMurphy-uv9pm]

@@1tothe2the3 At one point you say MTOW and then you later say MOTW. Which is it? Never mind. Credibility already totally lost.

[@RadioNul]

@@WilliamMurphy-uv9pm it's called a typo

[@WilliamMurphy-uv9pm]

[@LEON-Agario]

This is the best A340 Takeoff sound EVER !!!! I love the A340 :D

[@crocodile1313]

This video is very well done. The takeoff roll was so long that I started getting nervous just waiting for the end of the runway! Great video!

[@Zero-mp5dt]

Holy shit, I thought they were going to drive there... This thing took forever to get off the ground!

[@richardfleer1905]

Hot steamy Singapore weather, heavy plane. You gotta use the entire runway.

[@AtinzMizuki]

Richard Fleer Big plane. It uses at least 80% of the runway

[@arthurchristmas4112]

U ever seen a 747-8 take off?

[@alvexok5523]

So far, I don't know of any 1000 mile long runway that will take you from one destination to the next with the plane speeding along the ground the entire way, watching the trees and fields rush by for 1000 miles in the same way you see them rush by during the take-off run before lift-off.

[@xenomorphbiologist-xx1214]

It’s weighed down with fuel

[@kaipratt6825]

What camera and equipment to keep the video so steady? Amazing video! One of the best on the internet! Well done!

[@DanielOliveira-lk3tg]

Stunning engine sound!

[@Noble6233]

My first 500 video I've been waiting for this video forever love ever. Great video and the sound time for fsx right now.

[@MrVeeeg]

i wonder what it feels like when you take off knowing you're going to be sitting in the same seat on a plane for 19 hours straight

[@DomoniqueMusiclover]

I know, right... haha... crazy

[@kilosir]

Why they have the slats so long out ? I never saw that

[@nenblom]

19 hours?! Wow!!

[@xenomorphbiologist-xx1214]

That takeoff roll was almost a minute long! This plane was absolutely loaded to the MAX

[@kengoh2627]

goodbye old friend.....

[@Andy1076]

That thrill and power from the engines! 😍🥰

[@herbertmoshesh7448]

Truly awesome this plane and it's engines never cease to amaze on every video about it ❤

[@jordannet]

takeoff took long time until the aircraft climb because its need to reach specific speed depend on weight of the aircraft including cargo and passengers , when its reach the speed its can climb smoothly

[@CY5588]

Man im glad the BEST a340 version is still around.

[@mall115]

Loving how the boundary layer can be seen!!!

[@Chrisbattel]

Not sure the Ops. Procedures on those specific engines. But I would assume since the aircraft is at MTOW (Max Take-Off Weight), being in Singapore with heavy humidity (probably close to 85%) and extreme hot temperatures (lower air density) you must keep max-rated power up to a certain altitude perhaps. Don't quote me on this though.

[@MrAnonymous2525]

With that extremely fast take off and yet still takes 19 hours to go to new york? The earth is damn huge!!

[@epnrick9482]

Gian Serrano ? Extremely fast? That was the longest takeoff i have ever seen. that literally took like 85% of the runwayp

[@deansicking6257]

Damn nearly a minute of racing on the runway

[@semihgedik6078]

Miss you so much A340:(

[@Planemaster125]

The engines sound so seductive

[@brkitdwn]

[@brunobarny4765]

C est mon avion préféré, on se sent vraiment en sécurité a bord !

[@binfei6185]

The good old days....

[@deansicking6257]

what was that takeoff speed?

[@cocodalish]

Jeesus christ, it was barely climbing, that thing was loaded.

[@techlover4500]

now operated with an A350-900 ULR

[@Bootyavenger]

Was this during the super bad haze period? Looks way too thick to be morning fog. If my memory serves me well, 2013 SG was hit pretty bad by the haze.

[@Ashe452010]

Well done, awesome A340 take off clip with views of awesome engines and Changi and Singapore views.

What a looooong take-off! Perhaps they should take motorway A1 lol 😉😉😉 Very good!

[@davidca96]

I love a340's, watching from a distance they look slow the suddenly rise up even slower like they are in slo motion.

[@stavrospapadopoulos5706]

19 HOURS FLIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AmericaWest90]

For about two years, this was the longest flight (in miles nonstop) for commercial service in the world. 9,600nm. The 77L can fly farther, but demand wasn't in priority for such a route. The 77L could've worked, but this route couldn't profit for its cost to operate. In terms of time, LHR-SYD in a 77L is still longer, (19.5-21.5h's) but is only 9,100nm and is rarely done.

[@henryd1981]

AmericaWest90 Currently, the longest nonstop flight is DFW-SYD using the A380. However, that'll change next year as Emirates commences service between Dubai and Panama.

[@wotan10950]

+Henry Rieken I thought Delta's Atlanta - Johannesburg on the 777LR was the second longest, but maybe I'm wrong.

[@henryd1981]

+Dave Glo You are right. Atlanta to Johannesburg is the second longest currently.

[@jchavezz7774]

AmericaWest90 A350-900ULR goes a little more farther than 77L

[@Helicopterpilot16]

First off this os one awesome video!! Second, I have question. How were you able to hold the camera so still. I am trying to refrain from pushing my camera against the window but it seems like you aren't. Also what camera are you using?

[@1980daveyboy]

stick on suction cup to the window I expect

[@ChrisZoomER]

Those Trent 500s sure pack a punch!

[@DanTheCaptain]

Is the takeoff fast forwarded because that looks extremely fast! Also I love the sound of these engines!

[@khalilovH]

soon we'll sell the plane so lets fuck up the flaps before we do.

[@Aviation380HD]

Thats the crazy haze period!

[@bintab8615]

those are some powerfull engines

[@NetworkerExpress]

[@jchavezz7774]

GE-90 115B is way more powerful

[@-Wreckanize-]

Longest takeoff roll ever.

[@ProNerdChannel]

Yeah.... about 1 min

[@lailaharunmuhammad4647]

Because the plane has more fuel on mbiard making the plane heavier

[@saulfernandez8876]

and what it takes to keep em goin

[@decendx2117]

That is some pure power

[@schneevongestern9898]

almost 10 minutes of full thrust and flaps extended and still just rather slow climbing rate. the weight really shows. i wonder how much fuel that initial 10-20 minutes into the flight cost.

[@Prof.Mokster57]

how high is that in altitude?

[@KQPianos_music]

Flaps... Nice video

[@Airplanefan-fk1kd]

Wow long takeoff

[@AlexanderTheSimmer]

If GE made the Airbus A340 Engines, the Airbus A340-500, A340-600, and A340-400 would've sounded like a Boeing 747-400

noooo not at all, its the opposite

Quite the opposite and been on one HKG-MNL September 2001 CX903. Similar take off to this one is A340-600 December 16 2005 CX831 JFK-HKG

[@theypeedonmyrug]

The A343 virtually drives to its destination.

[@l.n963]

@@theypeedonmyrug a340-300 is more fuel efficient though. and the a340-300 is not underpowered, the original engine( iae superfan) was supposed to have even less thrust than the cfm 5c

Climbs like a 4-engine jet! 🤣🤣🤣

[@lailaharunmuhammad4647]

15,000km

[@somerandomdudelol]

To me all of the a340s sound like a330s

[@nathd1748]

Probably because the A330's you've flown on are Trent 700 powered. These are Trent 500's.
