My heart sank watching the wing and engine wobble . Aarrghh!!!!! I hate that feeling in the stomach when it wobbles!!! :'( Breathtaking scenery though and nice video - thanks
Voilà une vidéo absolument réussie. Très bonnes prises de vues. Et pourtant bloqué dans un siège on n'a pas de liberté qu'on voudrait. Bravo. Et surtout le véritable son des moteurs n'a pas été pollué par une soi-disant musique de fond agressive rajoutée à tord. Merci de ce beau moment.
Very beautiful landscape I could see from window and magical groups of clouds! I believe that its meetings will be continuing ! Meet you soon again! 😘😄😍💒🗻🌃🚆🇷🇺🎭📍
That full engine power after the last turn on the tarmac always gets me.. 😅 I’m always like : Oh god!! 09:08 Also that luxury chime signal during the takeoff 🙈 09:52
Yes and for some reason Lufthansa no longer flys that route. They stopped a few years ago. I imagine it wasn't profitable enough to maintain it. Perhaps Condor started service
Wow, That's nice how you can see the airport behind you when the plane makes a turn & gets on its route! Ive only seen that a few times when I've flown. Beautiful takeoff!
The main reason I took the route. My first time on a A340-300. Now Swiss flies them quite a bit and I've been on 2 so far with 2 more to go in April. :)
lithiumdeuterid Hahaha WWHAT!? Engines and APU are NOT the same thing. APU is an engine specifically designed for back up electrical & or pneumatic power. I dont see the APU being responsible for take off
I had the opportunity to landed here in 2013 to then take a train heading Basel, but it was impressive to see such a gigantic 4 engine airplane landed in here honestly it look like it will stall. Awesome video thx for sharing.
Well it's an Incredible video! There are so many comments here... I just want to say thank you so much for a beautiful video, incredible definition! I enjoyed it very much and hope to fly on an A340.
Looked like a nice day for flying. A little sad for me though as my uncle just passed away in schaffhausen ( ne of Zurich) this past year. Very nice scenery there. 😎🛫
This one is fun to watch, I viewed it several times and noticed one liner has the name Niki on it's rudder. My landlord has a husky dog named Niki. Great take off video and awesome sounds of the engines.
Wow what a soundtrack, I really need to fly on this jet before it disappears from the skies. I was hoping to fly to Madagascar with Air France on their A340, but that will be a none event now unfortunately, given their fleet restructuring.
Beautiful engine roar! Sadly, like other quad-jets, this aircraft is simply no longer economically viable since it's more expensive to maintain and it's quite a fuel-drinker.
@@WarhammerWings It’s just not feasible. NEO twin-jets already have excellent performance with better fuel efficiency, so NEO quad-jets aren’t a good idea.
@@aarontheaviationaddict3643the a340-300 was actually somewhat fuel effecient because they were using those tiny CFM56s although it meant that they were basically hairdryers for a widebody
Did you know Airbus did once consider both of 757's power plant of PW2000 & RB211-535? But PW2000 was not reliable enough(irony) and RB211 too expensive. So only CFM56-5C left. I think if RB211 was chosen A340 might come out not as beat up in the competition against the old 772ER. Becuz the on paper data show 535 is more efficient than 5C, and lighter, and more powerful~ With A340's earlier launch date it might catcher a larger share than with only CFM56-5C available.
Struth this ol rocket baby still got the kick an flex were it counts! Such wonderful machine, shame its discontinued from the production line! Im sure Airbus is proud but them was the day's 😆🌈⛅🚀✈💨💨💨➖
Only taken off once from Zurich (on way to South Africa) and I remember thinking 'er.. isn't this runway getting shorter by the second and can we take off very soon, there's buildings ahead I think??' Then a big vertical take off, which irked my FOF. A great video, thanks a lot!

something that always amazes me is the cracking and rattling noises right after TOGO thrust
love the sound of the engines
Fan blade roots are not rigidly anchored in the hub, but are free to flex around. I'm not sure why they do it, but it causes the famous buzz that's especially loud in the RB211
Parts of the jet are built to flex and move around a little bit. The wings bend when thrust is applied.
The engine sound.. im in heaven
No you're on earth but the sound is superb, I'll agree.
@The Boeing Kid I'll give the DC - 8 - 70 a go.
Perfect buzzsaw, not that different than an old DC-10.
It's the same one as the 737 Classic, 737 Next Gen, and A320 first gen
That sound is what allows this thing with hair driers to fly. A vibrational frequency that levitates it like honey bees levitate.
I love the A340 because it reminds me of the great Boeing 707 with its four engines.
A340 was designed 2 rival the B707 only lol
707 forever!
I was aboard every one of the Canadian Forces 707s what beautiful aircraft and equally ugly weather experiences was terrified for half my time aboard them lol

@@JishyFishy4106no it wasnt. Do more research
God.....that sound. Something so soothing about it and combined with the gentle wing flexing
sexiest aircraft airbus ever built. skinny and long with 4 hair dryers.
I agree
I prefer the 500/600 series. However, the 200/300 series is still great
if you notice they have to run them at full throttle a lot longer than other planes and higher rpm at cruise, the power to weight makes those lil guys work a bit harder.

When the T- Rex roars the A 340- 300 engines come in full power!!!
The A340 doesn't really climb. It goes on a straight line and get airborne because of the curvature of the earth.
because its powered by 4 hairdryers.
It doesn't move either. It just hovers while the earth rotates beneath. :P
Lie which airplane would not climb and get to 39000 feet. Shut up.
@@davidca96 4 CFM56
@@okoriehilary9233 oh my God, it is a joke.
Wow. Impressive climb-rate for an a340. I'm genuinely impressed... And those CFM's. They never get old. Best aircraft from Airbus period imo
Zurich to dusseldorf means nearly empty fuel tanks. Take it on Zurich to San Paolo and see the climb rate there at heavy weight 🤣
@@ZRHTrainspotter Chill out buddy. I didn't say its climb rate was good. I said it was impressive for an a340.
@@ZRHTrainspotter The A340 Is better than any airbus built.
@@ZRHTrainspotter it was considered a excellent aircraft for its time but is a bit more outdated
@@camcherta It's still an excellent aircraft, just not very economical anymore. But the A340 is incredibly reliable.

Yes and for some reason Lufthansa no longer flys that route. They stopped a few years ago. I imagine it wasn't profitable enough to maintain it. Perhaps Condor started service
What an amazing machine, using only a variant of the A320 engines. . . such a piece of tech.

how 5 apu ? i dont get it

Why does the A340 fly such a Short Distance?

To make more money
Like instead of making 1 trip a day you can make two
& 2x money
Probably efficiency
It has become the precious passenger plane.
