Encyclopedia: Airbus A340 Airbus' engineers designed the A340 in parallel with the twin-engined Airbus A330 : both aircraft share the same wing and similar fuselage structure, and borrow heavily from the advanced avionics developed for the A320. The Airbus A340 is a long-range widebody commercial passenger airplane manufactured by Airbus Industrie. When the A340 first flew in 1991 engineers noticed a potentially major design flaw in the first model: the wings were not strong enough to carry the outboard engines at cruising speed without warping and fluttering. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Airbus-A340

Airbus - Aircraft Families - A340-600 - Introduction Airbus - Aircraft Families - A340-600 - Introduction Airbus, an EADS joint Company with BAE SYSTEMS, is a leading aircraft manufacturer with the most modern and comprehensive product line. With the innovative Airbus approach to developing the vast lower deck, airlines are given new ways to increase seat count, improve in-flight service and offer innovative travel products. www.airbus.com /product/a340_a600_introduction.asp

Richard Branson Known for his wacky exploits used to promote his businesses, Branson is keen on playful antagonisms, exemplified by his "Mine is bigger than yours" decals on the new Airbus A340-600 jets used by his airline. Branson first achieved notoriety with Virgin Records, a record label that started out with multi-instrumentalist Mike Oldfield and introduced bands like the Sex Pistols and Culture Club to the world music scene. He has also made several unsuccessful attempts to fly in a hot air balloon around the world. www.worldhistory.com /wiki/R/Richard-Branson.htm

FLUG REVUE Datafiles: Airbus A340-600 Airbus is looking to sell the A340-600 at 140 to 150 million US-Dollars, it was said at the Paris Air Show in June 1997. The "commercial launch" of the Airbus A340-600 and -500 was announced on June 15, 1997 at the Paris Air Show. Airbus hopes to capture at least half of the 1500 sales projedcted in the 300-400 seat, long-range category through 2010. flug-revue.rotor.com /FRtypen/FRA34060.htm

Teamsters Object To Airbus A340-600 Exit Locations The International Brotherhood of Teamsters has objected to Airbus Industrie's plans for a new 380-seat jetliner claiming that the Airbus A340-600 exits will be located too far apart to be safe. Two exits on the new Airbus A340-600 would be 74 feet apart, the union said in a statement. The A340-600 is intended to draw closer to Boeing's 747, now the only airliner that can seat more than 400 people. news.airwise.com /stories/2000/08/965902457.html

Aerospaceweb.org Aircraft Museum - Airbus A340 Airbus Aims to Fly A340-600 Next May, Aviation Week & Space Technology, vol. A shorter A340-500 with enlarged wings and increased fuel capacity is planned to complement the -600 and offer even greater range. Designed as a four-engined long-range complement to the A330, the A340 compete's primarily with Boeing's 777, and 747. www.aerospaceweb.org /aircraft/jetliner/a340

Airliners.net: Airbus A340-500/600 Compared with the A340-300, the A340-600 features a 9.07m (35ft 1in) stretch (5.87m/19ft 3in ahead of the wing and 3.20m/10ft 6in behind), allowing it to seat 372 passengers in a typical three class arrangement. The A340-500 meanwhile is stretched by only 3.19m (10ft 6in) compared with the A340-300, and so seats 313 in three classes, but it has a massive range of 15,740km (8500nm), which makes it the longest ranging airliner in the world, capable for example of operating Los Angeles-Singapore nonstop. This gives Airbus a true early model 747 replacement and near direct competitor to the 747-400, with similar range, but, Airbus claims, better operating economics (per seat). www.airliners.net /info/stats.main?id=28

Forbes.com: Update 1: Thai Airways Orders 6 Airbus Superjumbos Singapore Airlines Ltd., which is set to be the first airline to fly the A380 in 2006, delivered a blow to Airbus this week when it chose Boeing's 777-300ER over the Airbus A340-600. Airbus outpaced Boeing in deliveries for the first time ever last year, delivering 305 planes to Boeing's 281, and has said it is on track to beat that score in 2004 as the aviation market improves. In a deal worth US$7.35 billion (euro6.07 billion) at list prices, Singapore ordered 18 of the long-range Boeing jets with options on a further 13, but postponed a decision on whether to buy the 7E7 in what was seen as a setback to Boeing's longer-term fortunes. www.forbes.com /home_asia/feeds/ap/2004/08/27/ap1521317.html

Airbus A340-500 & 600 Premijerni let modela A340-500 i A340-600 je održan u Parizu, 1997., a prva je Virgin Atlantic kupila 9 primeraka A340-600. A340-500 i A340-600 imaju, u odnosu na ranije modele A330 i A340, duža krila za 1,6m, veću površinu krila i tank za gorivo. Model A340-500 je za 3,19m kraći od A340-300 i može da primi 316 putnika, ali i da prevali ogromnih 15.470km, sto ga čini avionom sa najdužim doletom na svetu, koji, na primer, može neprekidno da leti od Los Andjelesa do Singapura. www.losmi.dzaba.com /Avioni/airbusA340-500i600.html

Flying the Longest-Range Airplane in Production--The Airbus A340-500 Airbus asked Rolls Royce to develop a new engine, the RR Trent 500, rated at 56,000 lbs thrust for the A340-600, and 53,000 lbs of thrust for the A340-500. The newest versions of the A340, the -500 and -600, are not just lengthened and strengthened airplanes; they have been redesigned in critical areas to provide a significant increase in range. Airbus began developing plans for this airplane by adding a wing box insert to previous A340 designs, which increases the chord of the wing by three full frames, or 5.6 feet, at the fuselage, tapering to the wingtip. www.alpa.org /alpa/DesktopModules/ViewDocument.aspx?DocumentID=1933   (3412 words)
