Yeah the A340-600 is a nice looking plane - long and slender - but commerically, in these times of high fuel prices, it's completely uncompetitive against Boeing's 777-300ER which is similar in size but with two jets instead of four.

The A346 is certainly a very long aircraft. It's definitely the longest pax a/c in the world, but i doubt it's the longest a/c overall. I like the 773 better anyway!! :)

I'm going on an A343 in July, I hear it has a poor climb rate though.

I think it's partly to do with the fact that they are underpowered. That problem was addressed in the A345 & A346.

^^^^ Thanks London_b. So, it has 4 jet engines also, is it Rolls Royce engine just like the A340-600. How many seating capacity does it have? Anybody can answer this please.

I've noticed that A343 has smaller engine comparing to A346 and A345

I recently flew with an A346 Virgin Atlantic from LHR to Newark.

A truly memorably experience with a superb airline on a magnificent plane.

The AN225 is hideous. To be absolutely and anal-retentively correct the title should have read "longest airliner" rather than "longest plane" - but who cares?

I dunno, i thought the AN-225 was not too bad looking?? Sure the tail is a bit wierd, but thats only so when the Buran shuttle was being transported on top of it, the rudder was still effective. It would look better with the tail like the AN-124, but hey, what can you do? lol It's certainly an impressive a/c whatever way you look at it.

I don't really agree. I think it's a bit too long and not wide enough: it looks like kate moss.

I've noticed that A343 has smaller engine comparing to A346 and A345

The A342 and A343 have GE/SNECMA CFM-56-5C engines, almost the same engine used on most 737's and A320's. The CFM-56 is efficent, quiet and powerful for its size, but it's a small engine and there's only so much thrust you can makes from a small diameter engine.

Kate Moss is gorgeous. I like slim girls (and slim planes like the A340-600). Kate's also not that tall for a model. She's only 1m 70cm (5'7").
