The engines on the A340-200/300s are CFM56's, they develop about 34,000lbs/thrust each. They're a slightly uprated version of what is used on the Boeing 737NGs. The A350-500/600s use the RR Trents
@antimatterXXXIII I think it's the main gear flopping backwards when it gets airborne. (or could be the center main gear rolling over the runways center line lights.)
As N1 (the low-pressure spool at the front of the engine) increases the blade tips approach transonic speed, causing the change in pitch you're noticing.
usually for speed and noise restrictions. plus, full power is not needed as the plane gets higher in altitude. throttle down usually occurs as the flaps are retracted to flaps 5.

yey i flown last week with kuwait airways from phillipines to frankfurt/germany i love this sound,but u can enjoy it only in business or first class =)
There are a few that are bigger than the 340-300 - 777-300, 777-200, 340-600, 340-500. The 330-300 is basically the same size although it has two engines and less range. Even though the 777-300ER has only two engines, ONE of its engines has about the same thrust (115,000 lbs) as ALL FOUR of the 340-300 engines (31,000 each).
Are the engines really that loud while taking off? I flew to NYC 2 weeks ago with an A340-500 (Emirates) and the plane was so quiet while taking off, I could´nt believe it! And we had seats right beside the engines!
in the beginning, the a340s outsolde the 777s. Reason: etops was limited to 120 minutes.The a340 allowed airliners thus to fly much further as 4 engines are not as restricted as twin engines were. Now, with etops 180 minutes, (nearyy) all twins are more economical than the four-holers.
Nice video mate!!And I just love the engine sound!!!!One question guys...At 2.12 minute the plane takes off and it seems that its going down again..is it my idea or something wrong happens..watch it and please reply to me.Thanks
That hum of the A343 is what is so unique that sets it apart from a B744.. I love how the A343 PURRS AND GROANS as it gets airborne! So what if it may be slightly underpowered.. man do those engines sound awesome. Besides, why do you want to get in the air in a hurry.. that just means its quicker to your landing.. lol *thumb down* so what if the A343 takes forever to get to altitude? I love that.. haha at least your on a plane :D *smiles*
@petrhsr i have never heard about an accident involving the A340-300 because of these engines!So, what is the problem with them? If they were ``underpowered``, this airplane would never take off
@petrhsr I haven't exactly noticed fully-loaded 777's rocketing into the sky. These airplanes are excellent; if they were underpowered then why would airlines operate them, given safety concerns??
yea, airbus tends to buy more into Pratt & Whitney Engines than Rolls Royce. P&W spin a little quicker and hum really loudly so the sound is kinda cool.
Well noted. Its because they are the same engines. Pratt and Whitney screwed the Superfan program, designed for the A340, then Airbus had to switch to the CFM-56 which also does power the A320 and 737.
No, the 340-300 has CFM56s, same as on the A320 series and 737s, although oviously the 340 has 4 whereas the others only have 2. The 340-500s and 600s have Rolls Royce Trents. The CFM56s do sound similar to Rolls Royce RB211s and Trents though.
loving the sound of these CFM's....rooaar =) btw, for those, who think that these engines are RR, just look for example the video: Thai Airways Airbus A340-600 Takeoff. a340-200 & a340-300 = CFM a340-500 & a340-600 = RR ;-)
Why does the A340 have 4 engines? The A340-300 is considerably smaller than all the other 4 engine planes. Are the 4 engines just to cover a longer distance, or it has another cause?

I happen to love the Airbus!! and the sound of their engines!!!!
Man. I can't get enough of the sound of those engines!
Me, too. I love taking off when it's cloudy and rainy, and then breaking through the clouds to the beautiful, bright sky above.
the best interior A340 video on youtube! the sound is awesome too, very clear!
Excellent video, how I adore the sound of those engines!!!
very very very nice sounding in take off! great audio!!sehr gut!danke
God I love this video! The engine drone is just about exactly D-flat, and it's fun to turn it up and bang on the Rhodes as accompaniment!
E-flat
Just about the most amazing aircraft engine spool-up.
Hacki, du bist der beste! I love your videos!! And the "take off power set" sound is like music in my ears...
Wow, I still can't believe how those things even get of the ground. Amazing stuff.
That noise is crazy,,, i couldn't sit for even 1 hour and listen to that!i would get crazy!
The engines on the A340-200/300s are CFM56's, they develop about 34,000lbs/thrust each. They're a slightly uprated version of what is used on the Boeing 737NGs. The A350-500/600s use the RR Trents
taking off is the most EPIC part of flying, excluding turbulence and air masks falling down.
lovvvvvvvvvvvvve the sound of those beautious engines!!!!!!!!
@antimatterXXXIII I think it's the main gear flopping backwards when it gets airborne. (or could be the center main gear rolling over the runways center line lights.)
Your videos are excellent since you press the lens against the window (I guess), so the takes are stable. Most clips on the net lack that.
Man those engines when they lose power sound like 737-8F2 sounds! Those sounds are cool!
Great effort Hacki22, thanks for posting!
im taking that plane next friday on Air France. Look forward to hearing those big engines :o)
Really cool engine sound!
As N1 (the low-pressure spool at the front of the engine) increases the blade tips approach transonic speed, causing the change in pitch you're noticing.
you notice right after the plane is airborne.. how the wing is flexing a lot! ? thats awesome
awesome ! what was that 340-3 going ? which destination ?
Airbus aircrafts are outstanding and nice looking aircrafts too.
Go Airbus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
usually for speed and noise restrictions. plus, full power is not needed as the plane gets higher in altitude. throttle down usually occurs as the flaps are retracted to flaps 5.
This is an amazing video! That CRJ-200 is tiny compared to this 340!!!! Liked!

Nice Video. Cool Energie Sound.
on this model and the -200 as well, these are cfm56-5c's, which are basically, but not really, the same as the engines you would find on a 737 or a320.
i love the sexy sound of the compressors

Awesome engines.....that makes a jet flyable!
it wasn't a sink issue. The angle of the taxiway it passed at that point gave that optical illusion.
@BerlinAir88
No, the LH A330s have Rolls Royce Trent 700 engines which are about twice as powerfull as the CFM 56 found on the A340-300.
I like how the plan flew through the clouds after it took off
Are the engines really that loud while taking off? I flew to NYC 2 weeks ago with an A340-500 (Emirates) and the plane was so quiet while taking off, I could´nt believe it! And we had seats right beside the engines!
So it's a wide-bodied airliner & yeah, the engines sound great.
The best engine's sounds I ever heard !!! :-D
I LoVe A343'Ss
in the beginning, the a340s outsolde the 777s. Reason: etops was limited to 120 minutes.The a340 allowed airliners thus to fly much further as 4 engines are not as restricted as twin engines were. Now, with etops 180 minutes, (nearyy) all twins are more economical than the four-holers.
nice bad ass video!!! great wing flex on this nice!!!!!!! great sound!!
Yeah, really cool engine sound!
cool sound of engines.... what is that sound at 2:17
second and minute
wow!!! was war das für ne destination? tokyo? der brauchte ja ne ewigkeit um hoch zu kommen..
@petrhsr you gotta admit though, those engines are cool looking
Those are CFM-56 5C engines, the sound similar to some of the RR engines.
Hello!Nice takeoff from Munchen!Were you flying to?
I give you 5 star for this film!=)
I love it!=)
Greeting TheCARRE74=)
read title , the take off was from munich
Nice video mate!!And I just love the engine sound!!!!One question guys...At 2.12 minute the plane takes off and it seems that its going down again..is it my idea or something wrong happens..watch it and please reply to me.Thanks
simply amazing!

u had good view ......u should record the landing and see thrust reverse on engines
@petrhsr i have never heard about an accident involving the A340-300 because of these
engines!So, what is the problem with them? If they were ``underpowered``, this
airplane would never take off
@6V92TA Do you ever consider overpowering (and even more fuel gazzling?)
@petrhsr I haven't exactly noticed fully-loaded 777's rocketing into the sky. These airplanes are excellent; if they were underpowered then why would airlines operate them, given safety concerns??
the engines are not so loud :-) nice
wow,
that's is very beautiful!
The 340-200/300 is supposed to be the only airplane with five APUs (1 APU + the 4 CFM56s).
yea, airbus tends to buy more into Pratt & Whitney Engines than Rolls Royce. P&W spin a little quicker and hum really loudly so the sound is kinda cool.
I would love to fly in a Airbus A340 someday.
whoa,nice sound. wow!
great video!
Well noted. Its because they are the same engines. Pratt and Whitney screwed the Superfan program, designed for the A340, then Airbus had to switch to the CFM-56 which also does power the A320 and 737.
What was that bump on rotation? Some girl in the background was startled. 2:15
Well, skinboy, even if the 343 is underpowered, it still plays its part really well.
@petrhsr Isn't the A340-300 close in fuel economy to the 777-200?
That was a very nice takeoff. I also loved the sound of the engines. Where were you going?
ok.. 1 question? why is the video tilted to the right?!?! O.o
The A330-300 from LH has the same Engines! ;)
What's that tiny jet at 0:50, is that a CRJ-700 ?
Thanks.
Nice video, where were you heading to??
@petrhsr The A340 200/300 have some mighty long legs though.
No, the 340-300 has CFM56s, same as on the A320 series and 737s, although oviously the 340 has 4 whereas the others only have 2. The 340-500s and 600s have Rolls Royce Trents. The CFM56s do sound similar to Rolls Royce RB211s and Trents though.
loving the sound of these CFM's....rooaar =)
btw, for those, who think that these engines are RR, just look for example the video: Thai Airways Airbus A340-600 Takeoff.
a340-200 & a340-300 = CFM
a340-500 & a340-600 = RR ;-)
Where did you fly to? USA I guess, right'?
Nice Vid!
Das klingt sowas von geil...
awesome video
@TheTrucker302
CFM International is 50% GE and 50% Snecma, France.
Why does the A340 have 4 engines?
The A340-300 is considerably smaller than all the other 4 engine planes.
Are the 4 engines just to cover a longer distance, or it has another cause?
The A340-200 and A340-300 are supposed the only planes with five APUs.
I meant that the CFM56 engines that the a340 has are very loud compared to the Pratt&Whitney a b747-400 has.
What type of engines are those? They look somewhat small for such a large aircraft or is that an optical illusion?
@petrhsr u can get the -600 with RR 556 engines which are much more powerfull then CFM 56 engines, just as u know it ;)
@superfestiva The sound of efficiency.
@6V92TA,that is also because 777 is newer than a340,why didnt u explain that?are u american?
Omggggggg i love the engine's sound. A very VERY slow climb tho.....
Where were you heading to?
AWESOME VIDEO !!!! : D
Is this taking off at climb power? Is that why it takes so long to get in the air, or is that how the A340 is?
Do the engines ever power down at cruising altitude? Just curious.
Munich to ??? what was destination? ty-
@lakeerie90s 2020? I don't think so... 6 years late there
where were you flying to? how long was the flight?
The climb isnt that slow, what are you guys thinking?
where did the plane go which airport?
@petrhsr dun metion 350 or 787
more airliner prefer 330 more than 340
