@1:00 Sorry to be that guy but the A350 isn’t the only plane that can do Perth-London nonstop. Qantas has been using the 787 on that route for quite a couple of years now.
717 isn't dead yet, delta and hawaiian still use it and there is literally a SINGLE dc-10 still in commercial service. your arguments contradict each other.
Singapore never flew from London to Perth, not least with the A340-500. The Perth-London route is now flown with a 787, not an A350. The cabin shot you showed when you mentioned the corpse was from an A300/A310 cabin, not an A340. And the A380 was significantly more successful than the A340-500, selling more than 9x as many airframes. Also, the A340 HAS crashed (Airfrance 358) but it has never had a fatality from a crash. The picture you showed was from an Etihad A340-600 which crashed into a thrust deflection barrier during aircraft testing because of pilot error. I like your channel but clearly it took me longer to write this comment than it took you to make this video.
What?! None of these fly?! You’re very wrong! It’s not just Las Vegas Sands, but also Qatar Amiri flight, Government of Kuwait, Government of Thailand and maybe Azerbaijan Airlines! And this is not the most underrated A340, the most truly underrated and forgotten one is the -200
Etops is cancer, period. The ignorance of this society annoys me. The effects of asymmetric thrust and the very real possibility of the second engine breaking Are all worth it because of fuel savings. Dude a fully laden 747-400 can still Cruise at FL300 on 3 engines. Thats safety, thats conservative design, thats your children certainly coming Home Safe. Besides modern planes All look Alike, being on airports makes you sad that todays flying nerds wont ever experience the 90s. You guys missed sometinhg.
The A340 hasn’t had a single death from air accidents or failures. Pretty impressive, the tortoise wins the race, slow and steady.

A340’s pretty underrated, I love it.
And? Why are you saying that like you are Airbus’ ceo? No need to brag my guy

seriously though, airplanes being fully retired is always sad. the dc-10, boeing 717 soon, and of course the a340-500.
Well well well time to fix your mistakes
Remove disappeared
Also change that the fact that the 717 is ALREADY dead
The dc-10-30 is still going
717 isn't dead yet, delta and hawaiian still use it

@ well delete the reply you commented on my joke
@@gavinsaviation nah
@ shut up
The a340-500 is probably the best variant of the the a340.
Exactly
imo the a340-600 is the best variant
The a340-500 is soo underrated
The main failure of the a340 was it having 4 engines in an era where ETOPS and widebody twinjets reigned supreme, same for the MD-11
I’ve been on one a340-500 with etihad from london to abu dhabi lovely ride and wishing it would come back.
MAN the a340-500 really needs to make a big comeback, one of the ultimate butter machine😫
Yk what else is big
LOWWWWWWWW

i think the butter machine is the 737

FINALLY You talking about A340-500 the most powerful A340 of all
Royal Thai air force also has it and they're not retired it yet
Dreamliner 787-9 is also flying LHR-PER just fine.

Honestly, the only reason I know the A340-500 because Qatar Amiri has the -500. I’ve always thought there was -200, 300, 400, and 600…😅
Qantas is currently using the 787 from London to Perth
"No A340 ever crashed". Next second, plane just crashes. lol
According to my analysis as of July 2024, only at least 17 A340-500 are still flying
The forgotten middle child of the the A340 family
Hi Swiss I am a big fan of your channel I watch all of your videos
swiss001 this sounds stupid but you made me so happy in my darkest times thank you so much for being who you are (:
6:08 can we at least talk about how slow that landing gear is coming up? Are the hydraulic pumps not turned on? Or is it really that slow?
I've actually seen that Las Vegas Sands A340. Pretty cool airplane!!
6:58 butter 💀💀💀💀💀💀
1:17 well the sands is also gone
Make Why the A340-300 was the only variant successful because 218 of the 300 variant were built
The goat a340 and style goat swiss001
crashing is the best way to increase breaking performance like you did, great job
Thye A340 is underrated, it's one of my favourites. The -500 is goldilocks. Not too long and enough power to takeoff
The Algerian presidency uses an A340-500
man i havent see you in 4 years
-500 is my fav :(. My dad was a captain for etihad on a340-600 / 5'00
Nice video
since November 2022 the A340 replace with the A350
Oh wow, I didn't even know this plane existed lmao.
u should make a 777 with 4 cfm leap engines :P
This is the best-looking plane ever lol.
Rip Airbus 340-500: The Pen Of the skies
i remember his first face reveal
I mean isnt the main reason for its failiure that its capasity doesnt even outgrow the 330?
If twin engined wide-bodies didn't exist then these would be the kings.
Yet another icon and pioneer of aviation being retired 🫡

Very interesting

What should I comment? I just wanted to be apart it okay don’t judge 😭
4:42 Brazil mentioned.
A340 shortest takeoff: 8,000 feet
I like the A340
Luckily my uncle told me that he flew on the Emirates A340 500s quite a bit for work a long time ago
a340-500 is used by some governments
I really want to fly in an A340 at some point, time is running out.
yes
slm still has 2 a340-500 in servise
A340-300😂 A340-400😶 A340-500😯
It's a good looking gas guzzler. There's no Boeing model for Airbus to copy.
least average Swiss001 upload time
I’ve just been on it 2 weeks ago

I thought it was the a340-900 (joke)
