Airbus literally just got 2 a330's squished them together and put 2 hairdryers under each wing and said: *"yes"*
🤣
fr lol
Trash engines
Haha😂
LMFAO
That's pretty true. Because As of September 2023, at least 128 Airbus A340s are still flying with several operators and across 4 variants :
8 A340-200 (this is the rarerest A340 variant btw)
65 A340-300
17 A340-500 and
38 A340-600.
Another interesting fact is no one has ever died in the Airbus A340 accidents or incidents
The -200 is only the rarest as long as you don´t count the -8000 :)
The CFM-56 engines are on the Boeing 737-600, 737-700, 737-800 and 737-900 aswell as the A320 and UNDERPOWERED A340-300.
@@thenetheriteminecart384 you forgot the Boeing 737 classic (-300, -400, and -500)
Oh I only said the Boeing 737 NG.
@@thenetheriteminecart384also the DC-8-70
Emirates flight 407 was due to pilot error, they miscalculated their takeoff data with an MTOW that was 100 tonnes below the real weight. They also extended the flaps 10° to little and only applied FLX thrust when they should have used TO/GA
And was a -500
🤓
@@snale2632 yes
The pilots got fired for not checking if the values were correct and they were also banned from contacting their family.
*they were not allowed to contact anyone during the initial days after the crash
The a340 is beautiful, maybe not in performance but it just looks aesthetically pleasing.
A340 operators paid for whole runway, so using all of the runway makes sense economically
Engines are trash. 😂
@@master1185You know nothing about aircraft engines mate
The A340-300 - with its five APUs, it only climbs because the earth curves away under it.
LMAO
With its five APU😭😭😭
Im still impressed how airbus managed to make a plane fly using 5 APUs
Aside from the downfall of the original A340, it's still a nice plane.
One of my favorite airbus aircraft tbh
Solution: Bigger wings =more lift less drag. Medium size engines = More thrust
What are those 4 engines made out of,blow driers? lmao😂💀
I remember when Airfrance had operations to Bogotá Colombia with the A340-300, OMG that airplane used all the 3800mts of runway to take off and had so much performance issues to gain altitude. Iberia used the 340-600 and still suffered but not as much as the Airfrance 340.
Dad 1 of asking Swiss001 to review Aerofly FS Gobal when it comes out
I flew the a340-300 abt 6 times and it was my first plane.
Due to the small engines its verry quietand the slow climb is also relaxing. Its the sleepy bus but the comfortable bus.
And when an engine dies, you could continue the flight.
Great video man, great job as usual
Next you should do video on the performance of the Boeing 757 AKA the sports car of the sky
he already did
The pencil
The reason that this aircraft is so underpowered comes to this: for a long time, aircraft that needed to fly really long distances over the ocean or over really desolate areas needed to have at least three or four engines so if one failed, they could make it to another airport safely. Airbus decided to slap some underpowered engines on the a340 early versions, but the later versions have some more powerful engines.
Underpowered but beautiful 😍❤️
Swiss001 can you fly Boeing 717-100? Please
Can’t believe this the first video of Swiss flying the a340
7:16 oh yes how butter that was 😂😂
Fun fact: The A340-200's fuselage is shorter than its wingspan.
Almost broke the sound barrier 😂
Does The DeutschlandAir Force still do the a340, Cuz a couple of months ago I saw A Deutschland Air Force Plane, Not sure if it was the A330 Or A340
I heard that it will be replaced with A350.
Swiss waiting for aerofly Global 2024 review it finally out today
you should've compared to jardesign a345 or toliss a346
We need the a340 for msfs
Could you pleeeeease make a video about the old Quito airport (SEQU)? Would appreciate it soo much
Who in airbus approved this plane 💀
I think it was a situation where they had already poured too much development resources into it and IAE didn’t come through with their SuperFan as Airbus had thought they would so they were just kinda forced to launch with what they had. Even if it wasn’t a very good plane lol
@@FlyByWire1the IAE Superfan was supposed to have 133kN of thrust, thats worse than the CFM56 that the 340-300 uses
As an A340-300 fan I can totally confirm this
Ok if ur a fan of that and not the -500 u deserve the middle seat
@@CY5588you know what opinions are?
@@Dansaviationnah don’t bother with him he’s probably a CRJ-200 fanboy
@@CY5588 Your opinion. Who said that i don´t like the A340-500? If you can not respect the opinions of others you deserve the middle seat of a Ryanair 737-800 next to two fat man.
“The booter machine.” My new favourite nickname for the a330
could you imagine an aerosucre a340?
Elite fence destroyer.
Maybe it needs 6 engines like the An-225 or even 8 lol
If aerosucre flyed a340-300 it would have the latest takeoffs in aviation history
This is why I like the A340-500 more than the A340-300
It the week boi but remember it a ultimate butter machine 😂❤❤
It's been some time since ya saw some Mobile Flight simulators. Can you review Aerofly FS Global released 2 days back (Android for now(?
He needs to do one that is the new aerofly fs global AKA aerofly fs 2024❤
Is it x-11 or the new x-12 plus can you put the link for the addons
Beautiful plane but very underpowered
Team A340
👇
Swiss when Aerofly Fs 2024 comes out can ya review it?
5:46 it sounds so funny for some reason
We need some takeoff rocket boosters for this bad boy.
hey Nick, where did u bought the Mini FCU?
A340 IS MY FAVOURITE!!!!!!!
You should play pilot training flight simulator on Roblox once again they even have the AN-225 now with an opening nose!
Before an hour here
Hey swiss001, ciuld you do a review on the new aerofly fs global?
But it looks classy with these narrow engines rather than gigantic turbofans
True
Exactly
This!
5:45 Ich liebe es wie du es so deutsch betonst
Fun fact: The A340 is the modified verison of the A330 but 4 eng and gears longer
fucking obviously
Actually, the A330 is the modified version of the A340.
WOW EVERYONE DEFINITELY DIDNT KNOW THAT
If this plane had a Freighter version, Aerosucre would definetly fly it. Mostly at small airports.
Aerosucre is just a meme at this point😂
You could probably fit 12 a340 engines in 1 777x engine…
Lol
The A340 is pretty cool, but it's very long, that's why it's called the flying pencil.
Erm the 757 is named the flying pencil NOT THE A340 🤓
@@DivisonLol The 757 isn't very long and it's nickname is the "Atari Ferrari" or the flying rocket.
@@Confederation_of_the_Rhine whatever you guys call the 757 nowdays
@@DivisonLol It is a bit of a race car really, and a shame Boeing didn't pursue a New Midsize Aeroplane to replace it. As a result the A321 XLR is a serious competitor. Boeing needs an airliner that sits between the 737 and 777, or should look into upgrading the 757 again.
Swiss, do you realized that the one you've been on recently was also the A340-300? NOT the -600?
1:47 'Booter machine'!
the a340 reminds me of the 707 a little bit
Lovely video swiss
First like and comment! So excited for the vid!
did no one notice the bird just chilling when the a340 was taking off
Also Aerofly Global has been released aka Aerofly 2024
The return of #swiss001landing?
Being the 330 and the 340 build at the same time I just wonder why the just didn't fit the RR trent 700 engines to the 340... I understand that for structural limitations of the wings maybe they need to perform some modifications but comeon, the 320 engines? 😅
The only engine they could add that didn't require wing modifications
@@EuropeanRailfanAlt Can imagine!!
@@edwincabrerarodriguez5263ETOPS
Its not the a320 engines they are about 1.5 times stronger than the a320 cfm56
@@l.n963 Is the same model different variant, so dame engines.
The problem of A340 is that he is overweighted, and his engines are too small, but I still love it because it was the breakthrough for that times.
Can you come to Lengpui Airport in Mizoram, India (AJL)
😊😊😊😊😊
MORE RUNWAY!
Ah yes, the only plane with 5 APU’s
Day 1 of asking Swiss to review a350-1000
Hi swiss❤!
Hello how are you😊
aerosucre really need to consider the a340-200/300
That a340 over ran the runway on my birthday
First
😊
Shut up
Let's make an A380Single deck With weaker engines.
I cant help but feel bad for the a340 lineup as a whole. Airbus screwed up the first models, and the better -500/-600 models got a bad reputation from the previous models, even if they are great planes.
What if you put trent 700 on a330 instead of ge90
A330 the burer machine💀💀💀
Aerosucre on their way to buy an a340-300:
my favourite plane
PLS REVIEW THE RHD SIM 767 FIRST🎉🎉🎉
Lol it was flapping it's wings before flying into a bridge and bursting into flames at the end.
5:46 switches from English to Dutch in 2 seconds
I think its german but whatever
@@thereddestsuninthesky German and Dutch are basically the same language
@@Leopity.Nahhhh i‘d overthink that
Personally I love the a340 but I would say that it is a little under powered.
What’s your cpu and gpu specs?
The buuter machine 1:48
5:47 …
I like to call this plane "the penta-APU"
Make an airplane in lego fortnite, i think they added jet engines
Day 5 of asking swiss001 to review the 737 max and Erj 195 again
7:12 You're better off loving the A380 like that.
Remember me????❤😅😅😅😅
In all fairness.. Airbus got screwed over.. International Aero Engines.. the company that made the V2500 seen on the A320.. was going to make a more powerful engine called the super fan I think it was.. but right before the A340 they actually canceled the project..
I have read that the IAE superfan was going to have 133kN , thats less than the CFM56 on the a340 has (139-151kN)
1 hour gang I guess…
Airbus should have just made the 500 and longer 600 variant
Day 6 of asking swiss001 to review the 737 max and Erj 195
Fly the -500, you'll like its performance
can we just get it clear the A340-200/300 are the CFM-56 powered ones which are deemed "underpowered" however the A340-500/600 has the Trent 500s which are more than enough powerful. Its a bit of a lie that the A340 is underpowered otherwise it wouldnt be certified to fly, the same engines (CFM-56s) are also used on later updated DC-8s and Boeing 707s, and to prove my point most 707 AWACS that fly in the sky use the CFM-56 however they do not feature reverse thrust. The A340 is just not as powerful as its competitors, hence why it has slower climb rates. This was done however for cost-effectiveness which has proven well and it is also cheaper to run
The thing is, the B707 and the DC-8 are narrowbodies, while the A340 is a widebody, so the A340 itself is a bit heavier than the other two
5:45 good German pronunciation, not many do it that well 😄
Thought the same but he is from Germany
Bist du auch Deutsch?
